my fiance and I are sending out the invitations ourselves and wanted to know the right wording for our names. Should we do my full name and his full name? Or should it be just my first and middle name?

You can do either. I think it looks better to have both names the same, that is, if you want to use full names have both of your full names. With the way that names are today, I would suggest that you use both of your full names. You don't even have to use full names but instead can use your first and last names. Either way I think it is important to have both your first and last name on the invitations.

My fiance and I are doing the same thing. Put both full names for a more formal invite. If it's more casual,at least first and last names but I've always like full names.

I guess it depends on whether or not you have the parents names on the invitation. we had our parents names on the invite and the way it was worded, we only needed to use my first and middle and his first and middle. if we would have wrote our lasts with our parents names right there it would have sounded redundant.
I guess this all depends on how many parents are on the invitation. We only had our 4 parents, still married, so it was easy. wherever you order the invitations from can help you with what sounds the best. And some catalogs have examples in the back.
Good luck

The invitation should include both of your full names (first, middle, and last). The only exception is if the invitation is being issued by your parents and you have the same last name as your parents. It sounds very old-fashioned, but it's okay to write:
Mr. and Mrs. John and Elizabeth Miller
request the honor of your presence
at the ceremony uniting their daughter,
Jessica Anne,
and
Robert Dean Gordon,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel and Bianca Gordon,...

My fiance and I just printed our invitations and we used our full name with the middle initials. They turned out very nice. I definately would recommend using the first and middle name. The full names are much more traditional. For additional help on wording, check out this web site: http://www.mygatsby.com/wedding_invitations/etiquette/proper_wording_wedding_invitations.jsp. It helped me out a bunch! Good luck!

Both full names. You only drop your last name if the invitation is being issued by your parents.

ON the invite, use both of your full names.

Full names for both and usually the brides name goes first.

Both full names.
Can you imagine getting an invitation to a wedding for Robert James Jones and Michelle Marie?
Now imagine that you are a friend of the bride and don't know the groom. Would you know that it's for your friend Michelle Smith?

Typically the invitations include the full name of the bride and groom.
