I'm helping my friend make her wedding invitations and we don't know which context to use honor or honour. "Your presence would be an honor to our families." Or is it honour? Thanks.

The difference is not significant to meaning rather from regional spelling differences... honour with a "u" is the british traditional spelling and honor without the "u" is the american and anglo-french spelling.

Honor is the American spelling. Honour is the British spelling. Go according to which country you're in.

Honour is the British spelling. Honor is the American spelling. Depends on what kind of feel you want your invitation to have.

Almost every single person who answer is correct, but wrong. Honour and Favour are British, but they are the tradtional way the words are used on a wedding invitation. Even Americans should use the "u" - it's the correct etiquette.
And actually, the "honour" is traditionally because it's an honor to witness a religious ceremony - not to honor the family. You might want to rethink your wording (I've linked to some examples). : )

They are both the same thing. One is an English version (UK) and I believe the other is the Americanized version. If you're in the the US, I would use "honor".

Are you an American? Or Canadian?
Americans would use honor.
Canadians would use honour.
It's all in the spelling, my dear.

better phrasing is "the honor of your presence is requested...
