Wording Examples

Invitations are always sent from whoever is hosting the wedding - traditionally the bride's parents. The wording becomes more complicated if parents are divorced or if the couple are holding the event themselves. Below are various examples of wording you may wish to use for your wedding. If you would prefer to use your own wording, then just let us know. We also have examples of civil partnership's wording - any of our invitations can be adapted from wedding invitations to a civil partnership ceremony invitation.
