Wording a Wedding Invitation

Wedding invitations and wedding invitation wording can help set the stage for your entire wedding.  It is a big day for both the bride and groom and the parents of both.  Sometimes, when the happy couple is older or marrying for a second time, it may not seem as big an event, but in general, weddings are an important part of life between two people who want to commit to sharing everything together.

Something of the couple should be reflected in the wording of the invitation, perhaps a favorite poem or quote that is shared by both.  Other possible examples include a sentiment regarding their love for one another, the parents sentiment, maybe a verse from a favorite book, or a sincere sentiment regarding the guests can all be part of the wedding invitation wording.

Another thing that makes wording wedding invitations tricky is if one or both parties to be wed come from a divorced family.  It can be very difficult to word an invitation in a way that won't offend either parent or perhaps their new spouses.  This is something to discuss with both sets of parents and should be as congenially agreed upon as possible.  Absolutely, do not order the invitations before you have done this, or there may be more of a crisis than expected.  The last thing the happy couple needs is rising tension and stress because the parents get offended.

Take all of these possibilities into consideration before you decide on the best wording for your wedding invitations.  Again, the invitation is a prelude to what your guests can expect when they attend your wedding.  Although the day is about the joining of two special people in love, you still want your guests to celebrate with you, and a well worded invitation can help you set the expectation.
