Wedding Invitation Etiquette
Deciding how to word a wedding invitation can be tricky. Should you use formal wording or more casual wording? The choice might be difficult, but remember that the choice is ultimately yours. Your wedding invitation wording should reflect the tone of the wedding you are planning: if your wedding will be formal, then formal wording should be used on the invitation, etc.
Here is a selection of more well-known wedding invitation examples.
