Writing your wedding invitation has never been easier.
Remember to include the following:
1. An opening sentence (are parents hosting?)
2. Bride’s name and Groom’s name
3. An action sentence
4. The wedding date
5. Time
6. Place
7. Reception to follow if at same venue as wedding
______________________________
1.) Opening Sentence. Who is hosting? Be sure to ask your family their opinion also. I will never forget the day a father-in-law-to-be (is that a word) called me on the phone and said, I can’t believe you didn’t ask the bride-to-be to list my name too. He was very very upset she did not include his name on the invite. So my tip would be to ask your parents and your partner’s parents if they want their names listed. OR just go with the “Together with their parents” to cover all bases.

2.) THE WEDDING COUPLE NAMES
You can use your first, middle, and last name. If you are listing your parents names then most times you would not list your last name with your first, and middle name. Never use just your first name. Guests may not know exactly who you are. This happened to my mother-in-law once. She had no idea who the person was inviting her. They only listed their first names.
3.) ACTION SENTENCE
