So let’s get onto how an invite should read.

 

There are two things that you need to determine here, firstly whether you want to go for a traditional or more contemporary wording, and secondly (as already mentioned) who is hosting the Wdding. Let’s initially look at traditional and contemporary wordings (for the benefit of the examples we have assumed that the Bride’s Parents will be hosting) to help you determine which initial style to go for.
