Hey ladies, Im reallly confused as what to write in our invitations....What are you putting in yours? Ive looked up some sample wording but they all look a bit dull and generic (or is that just me being bridezilla hahahha)
CommentAuthorInDreamland
Hi hun. Lol, I know what you mean. There is etiquette to consider with invitation wording and also how formal your wedding will be.
If you and H2B are paying for the whole wedding then the invite is from you both. If your parents are paying the invite is from them (and if his parents the invite from them) or if it's a case of both you, H2B and both sets of parents paying (like me and H2B's situation) then word it:
With their parents, Tracey **** and Andrew ******, request the pleasure of your .............................. depending on how formal your wedding is you word it how you want really.
Put the standard, date, time, ceremony venue
Then, followed by reception at ..........
Hope that makes sense and helps a little xx

If you google "Invitation wording" you'll find some that are a bit different from the ordinary, we are paying for our own wedding so the invites I made were from us and I found lovely wording that said:
We wish for you, .........., (guests name/s) To share with us The tender moment of our Marriange. We look forward to a future That holds an ever growing love. Please Join ............... (your names) As we pledge our Vows at .................... (time & date) in the ................. (ceremony venue)

CommentAuthorLlosa
Hahaha, i was going to say...you've invited your cats! but then kinda face palmed myself for my stupidity lol!
So they dont have to be all Lord and lady requests your presence stuff?
CommentAuthorLaura JaneW
I'm also having this problem. The invitation wording online seems a bit impersonal. We are paying for the wedding ourselves as well.
CommentAuthorCharlotteB32
Is it you or your parents inviting? Do you want formal or informal?
Let me know and I'll add the wording I've got in my book.
