How to Word a Wedding Invitation

In your tasks included in planning your wedding, you will select wedding invitations. For these wedding invitations, you select the outer design in which receivers see when they first open these invitations. Once you choose this design you will select a style for the wording of this invitation.  

1. Select a heading for your wedding invitation. Several traditional wedding invitation headings are usually "You are cordially invited to a wedding," "Join us" and "Celebrate with us the union of." Determine whether you wish to use one of these traditional headings or wish you create a unique and original heading that represents your personality. 


2. Add the detail of your wedding. This includes the date, the time and the location in which this wedding is performed. You have options with these details in that you could set it up in a block and/or outline format or you could get creative with these details. Block and/or outline format appears like "Time: 6:30 p.m." If you want to make it more creative, use a script style font and spell out the time and the date. For instance if the wedding is scheduled for March 12, 2012 you would write "March twelfth, two thousand twelve."


3. Determine how to want to list your names within the invitations. For instance, you could simply list your name or you could state something similar to "(Bride's name) daughter of John and Jane Doe." You could even use a portion of your wedding announcement for this section.
