Wedding Invitation Etiquette

How to Pen the Perfect Wedding Invitation

It has often been said that a wedding is not just about the two happy people getting married but also about the scores of people who constitute the family and friends. Everyone who attends the wedding is a part of memories that will last a lifetime and in order to make the event an especially memorable one it is important to honor every single attendee. The first way of ensuring this is to follow the proper wedding invitation etiquette. Let us take a look at some of the musts.

The first tip is to always use full names while addressing the invites. If the invitees have a middle name include it if possible. Initials should never be used to replace middle names.

When it comes to including details such as the date, the time and suchlike it is advisable to spell them out instead of using numerals. The rule of the thumb is to fully spell out every bit of an invite.

Wedding invitation etiquette dictates that if you wish to extend an invitation to a possible date or additional guest the detail should be included on the inside of the invite. The external card should be addressed only to the person known to you but on the inner panel you can add “ABC and Guest”.

If you want to specially invite children of the family too then only their first names have to be added under the full names of their parents.

According to wedding invitation etiquette when inviting single/-divorced women always use “Miss” and not “Ms” before the name.

The request has to be titled according to the venue. Incase the wedding is being organized at a non-religious venue the legend on the card should request the pleasure of the guest’s company. When a wedding is being held at a religious place the legend should request the honor of the invitee’s presence.
