what do you say in a wedding invitation?

Answer 1

we request the pleasure of your company on the occasion of the marriage etc, then time date and place.then ask them to let u no if theyre coming

Answer 2

Don't mention or even hint at gifts. Don't include registry cards that a store may have provided you when you registered. Of course, they may be more convenient, but they don't belong with the invitation. It makes the invitation seem like a beggar's cup. Ideally, you can tell your parents where you're registered, and guests can contact them to find out where. Usually, most guests now know about registries, so for shopping help they probably will attempt to find out what the couple might prefer. However, some people do actually prefer to pick out gifts for the happy couple on their own. Good luck!

Answer 3

Depends whether you want formal or informal. For informal you can say "Please come to our wedding at St Mary's/The Register Office, on 14 January 2007, at 2pm, love Jane Smith and David Brown" and put your address on the bottom so people can reply, and for formal it depends who's hosting the wedding. Either

Mr and Mrs John Smith request the pleasure of your company at the marriage of their daughter Jane with Mr David Brown at St Mary's Church Anywhere, on 14 January 2007 at 2pm RSVP Mrs J Smith and her address.

If the couple are hosting it then I would put

The pleasure of your company is requested at the marriage of Jane Smith and David Brown at St Mary's Church etc. and RSVP either Jane Smith or whoever she wants to be in charge of keeping track of replies.

PS not "there daughter" but "their daughter". Not that I'm a control freak or anything like that! ; )
