Wedding Invitations & Paper

Help with invitation wording

My fiancé and I are hosting our wedding and have found some wording that we like for our invitations. Except I'm uncomfortable with the word "lover" being on our invitations. Here's the wording:
Best Friends, Soul mates, and lovers,
start the beginning of a lifetime of love. 
Please join us
Dana
&
Carl
as we promise our
love and commitment to each other
...


Does anyone have any suggestions for words/phrases we could use instead of "lover"?

Re: Help with invitation wording

  • I am not really a huge fan of cutesy and overly wordy invites.  Your guests know that you two love each other because if you didn't then you wouldn't be getting married.

    Simple is typically best...

  • "Sweethearts"?

    I have to agree with Maggie though, simple is better if only because it's easier to read.

    A wedding invitation is a simple note from the hosts (you?) to the guests, telling them who, what, when and where - NOT WHY!!!  Save the sentiments for your ceremony and reception, please.  It is tacky to include them on the invitation.  It is not even clear that your wording IS a wedding invitation.  The words "marriage" and "wedding" do not appear anywhere. This will confuse your guests.
    If you use simple, traditional wording, everything is clear.

  • Yep, get rid of the word "lovers," immediately. 
    Honestly,the best writing is always simple, clean, and to the point. Stick to the very classic format, save the flowery sentiments for another occasion, and make it easy on yourself. You can't go wrong with a classic.
