Wedding Invitations are usually formal and traditional:

Wedding invitations can be written in many different styles. The wording chosen can make all the difference for example a simple approach would be as follows: Holly Walsh and Tom Green request the pleasure of your company at their marriage…

Wedding invitations usually depicts formal old English writing, which back in the day was normal everyday language, however nowadays we need to think a lot more about how to write like this.

Wedding Invitations explained:

The first names on the invitation are the people who are paying for the wedding, and so this can be the parents of either the bride or groom for example it may be written as follows Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Graham…

The next step is to request your guest(s) attendance such as ‘Request the pleasure of your company at the marriage of their daughter…’. The word daughter can be changed dependent on the gender of the parents who are hosting the wedding.

Next on the invitation you’ll see the names o the happy couple, traditionally you would use the first and middle name of the bride and the grooms first and surname i.e.
Victoria Emma to 
Mr. George Bradley Jones

After this you will need to give the details of the date and time that the guest will be expected to arrive. Then the location of where they need to be. This is only for the wedding ceremony itself, after this you can detail the same information about the Reception.

At the end of the invitation its customary to include an RSVP allowing the guest to easily inform you of whether they will be able to attend the wedding or not. On this section you can state the date of when you need the RSVP by which will let you be able to plan more effectively by knowing the exact number of guests.

Additional information you can include on the invitation may involve details of dress wear such as you can specify black tie, or cocktail attire for example. Or it may not be practical to have children at your reception for one reason or another and so you can state Adult Reception.
