Wedding Invitation Wording

The proper wedding invitation wording is critical and we tell you everything there is to know. Whether it be a Church wedding, home wedding, second marriage or whatever, the proper etiquette and wedding invitation wording are essential.

The invitation to a church wedding is worded with a bit more formality than the invitation to the home ceremony. It is sent out six to eight weeks before the day set for the wedding. The church wedding invitation requires no written acknowledgement, except in those rare cases when there is a request for it. Instead of the initials, R.S.V.P., it is better form to say simply, "Please reply." Invitations for the home wedding, of course, require prompt acknowledgment.

For the home wedding, invitations are engraved as for the church wedding, but for the phrase "request the honor of your presence" the phrase "request the pleasure of your company" is substituted, though "honor" may be used in place of "pleasure" if one prefers.
As in the case of the church wedding, a space may be left for the name of the guest to be filled in.

Sometimes, either because of convenience or personal preference, arrangements are made to have a wedding take place at the home of a friend or relative.
