Invitation wording

camarogirlj

I'm having problems finding examples of the wording for a Catholic ceremony with the nuptial mass when both sets of parents are hosting. My family is not Catholic, but I am completing RCIA before the wedding so we will be having the full mass. I have something like this so far but I don't know if it is "right" (ignore spacing/formatting):Mr and Mrs John SmithandMr and Mrs Jerry JonesRequest the honour of your presence at the Nuptial Mass uniting their childrenJessica Lynn SmithandSteven Edward Jonesin the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony(insert date/time/location)TIA!

These sites might help.  I think that what you have is good.  It lets people know that it's a Catholic ceremony and who's hosting.  I'm a bit of a feminist, lol, so I would put Mr. and Mrs. John and Jill Smith and Mr. and Mrs. Jerry and Kate Jones, but that's me.  http://catholicweddinghelp.com/topics/topics.htmhttp://www.invitationconsultants.com/samplewording.aspx?p_subcategory=198

Mr. and Mrs. John Smith request the honour of yoru presence at the marriage of their daughter, Jessica Lynn, to Mr. Steven Edward Jones, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Jones, in the sacrament of holy matrimony and the celebration of the nuptial mass....date, time, placethe Mass does not unite you in marriage.

I think that wording is fine, it's what we are using. It says the guest is invited to the Mass uniting Bride and Groom in the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony.
