This could be the parents, stepparents, or grandparents of either the bride or groom. If the couple is hosting their own wedding, they can use &#8220;together with their families&#8221; as the hosts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Mr. and Mrs. John Smith request the pleasure of your company&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Together with their families, Jane Doe and Jack Johnson invite you to celebrate their marriage&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>The Names of the Couple<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, you should include the names of the couple getting married. You can do this on a separate line or include them with the hosts&#8217; names.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Mr. and Mrs. John Smith request the pleasure of your company at the marriage of their daughter, Jane Marie, to Jack Johnson&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Together with their families, Jane Doe and Jack Johnson invite you to celebrate their marriage on Saturday, June 12th&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Date and Time<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The date and time of the wedding should be clearly stated on the invitation. This helps guests plan accordingly and avoid any conflicts. Usually, the time is spelled out in full, although this isn&#8217;t necessary by any means.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Mr. and Mrs. John Smith request the pleasure of your company at the marriage of their daughter, Jane Marie, to Jack Johnson on Saturday, May 22nd at 3 o&#8217;clock in the afternoon&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Location\/venue<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Include the name and address of where the ceremony and reception will take place. This information is crucial for guests to know in order to plan their travel and accommodations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Mr. and Mrs. John Smith request the pleasure of your company at the marriage of their daughter, Jane Marie, to Jack Johnson on Saturday, May 22nd at 3 o&#8217;clock in the afternoon at St. Peter&#8217;s Church&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Reception Information<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the reception will be held at a different location than the ceremony, make sure to include that information as well. You can also mention any specific attire or theme for the reception.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Reception to follow at The Grand Ballroom&#8221;<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Dinner and dancing to follow&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>RSVP<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Include instructions for guests to RSVP by a certain date and provide contact information for the hosts. This allows the couple to get an accurate headcount for their special day. You can have the guests either respond via an RSVP card or contact you directly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Please kindly respond by May 1st by filling out and returning the enclosed RSVP card&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Additional Information<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there are any other important details that guests need to know, such as accommodations, transportation, or a wedding website, you can include them at the bottom of the invitation. Keep this section short and concise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Accommodations: A block of rooms has been reserved at The Ritz Hotel under &#8216;Smith\/Johnson Wedding&#8217; for a discounted rate.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Transportation: Shuttle service will be provided from the ceremony to the reception venue.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;For more information and updates, please visit our wedding website at www.janesmithandjackjohnson.com&#8221;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span id=\"Conclusion\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Picking the right <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wedding invitation wording<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can seem overwhelming, but it doesn\u2019t have to be.
