Answer 1

Hi

Congratulations on on your forthcoming wedding !!!

I sort have the same problem with only partners being on my H2B side, so after some thinking we have decided to have our names on top of the invitations, but if you are still not 100% sure how to word your invitations then have a look at this website and maybe this will help you decide what sort of wording you would like.

Answer 2

Write out your commonly used wedding ceremony invitation then incorporate the positioning in there below area for those you be attentive to isn't waiting to make it. or you should continuously do an "statement" form wedding ceremony invitiation and incorporate on a seperate mini card (or enterprise form card) the positioning and time so this is not on the marriage invitation itself. Do something like "can't make it? No issues you are able to watch us get married here!" or something lots extra formal!

Answer 3

You write your mother's name first such as:

Mrs. Joan Trenton(use name only if she kept her ex husbands last name (if she went back to her maiden name, then use that) If she remarried, say Mr. and Mrs. John Sullivan
and
Mrs. and Mrs. (John Trenton) your father and his new wife

request the pleasure of your company at the marriage of their daughter (your full name including your middle name)
to

Mr. Jason Jones
son of Mr. and Mrs. Eric Jones
on June 2, 2007
all written out

at St. James Roman Catholic Church
(address
at
Half Past Four in the Afternoon

On another card you say:
Reception to follow at:
The Fox Hollow Inn
(address)
Cocktail Hour 7:00 PM
Dinner immediately following

Another card with the reply
will not attend
or will attend stuff

Answer 5

We received a wedding invite that actually had both parents' names, eg., Mrs Sally Smith and Mr Victor Jones ........... to the marriage of their daughter, etc., etc. I think in this case, the parents were sharing the cost of the reception but, whatever, they are still both your parents. (As long as they're both attending the wedding of course).

Answer 6

Hi the best thing to do is just to put your name and you hubby to be names on the top. It solves the problem of upstetting you mum putting your dads name on the top with his wife. or the other way round upsetting your mum. I think most couples gettingmarried now put there name on.

Answer 7

Why don't you write your name and the person that you will be marrying, also let your parents know that this is what you are planning to do so that they don't get upset or angry about it

Answer 8

Don't think too long about it. Whatever you do, it will have been wrong for somebody. If you're really stuck, buy one of those wedding magazines. They've got everything you should to in there - and after you've read it you'll panic completely! ;)

Answer 9

Jane Doe and Jack Smith along with their parents invite you.......

Answer 10

Why don't you just write your name and your brides name.
