correct spelling of the word favor

AllieCat16 · June 2010

so if i am using "request the honur of your presence" do i use on the respond cards the favor of your response or the favour

i know one is english and one is american

thank you

Be consistant. I will use honour and favour, but I'm Canadian and that's how we spell it. I would use which ever version applies to you, use the American honor and favor if your American, bc otherwise it may look strange. Which ever you choose be consistant. If you use honour, use favour.

Just out of curiosity why are you going w/ the English version?

well i heard that in america...if you are getting married in church you use honour instead of honor

I know you should use "request the honour of your presence" as opposed to "request the pleasure of your company" if you get married in a place of worship. But the spelling of the word doesn't matter, you use which ever applies to you.

It just looks "fancier" to use the British u. I did, for both.

I would keep it consistant, but either one is fine.

No, you use "honour (or honor) of your presence" instead of "pleasure of your company".

But I'd keep it consistent as well.
