The invitation is the first impression of the type of wedding
you have planned. Your invitation may be custom made,
sophisticated, eloquent or a do it yourself creation. With all
the styles and colors to choose from, it should not be too
difficult to find the perfect invitation.
Whether your invitation is traditional or casual, you will need
to include a RSVP (response card) and a reception information
card. Other items you could put in with the invitation are
directions to the church and reception hall.
With today’s “blended” families it is increasingly difficult to
find the proper wording for the wedding invitation. Here are
some examples of traditional wording for your invitation.
