As a bride, you must be aware of the many traditions about the text and wordings of wedding invitations and you don’t have to follow them to the letter. You can create your own personal ideas but feel free to squeeze in some traditional style to balance a traditional and contemporary tone. If you are planning a small and simple wedding, a letter-style invitation may be more suitable stating the basic information such as the hosts, event, date, location and time.
If you are considering a more formal wedding, traditional formal wordings may be appropriate in your wedding invitations. Formal wordings are generally written in the third-person language and if you are planning for a church wedding, the invitation line should read as “Request the honor of your presence.” If it’s going to be held in another venue other than worship place, it should read as “Request the pleasure of your company.” If you are still unsure of how to start with your invites, familiarize yourself with the different wording styles, whether traditional or modern.
