Invitation Questions

Riss91

Hey girls, it was suggested that we should add some info to the website with guidelines for how a Catholic invitation should look/read.

Can you share your examples, tips, etc?

I'd like to have options with and without mass and with parents hosting, both parents hosting and the bride/groom hosting.

Thanks!!

Ours read:

Mr. and Mrs. ProfessorScience's Parents
Request the honor of your presence
At the marriage of their daughter

ProfessorScience
to
Mr. ProfessorScience

On Saturday, the fifth of November
Two Thousand Eleven
At Two O'Clock in the afternoon

Christ the King Catholic Church
Dallas

We didn't include anything about a mass, and probably should have, but no one seemed to care.  I think word got out well enough.

If I could change anything, I would make it ProfessorScience AND Mr.Prof, not "to."

Ours was exactly the same as lalaith!  Except for the date, names and church, of course :-)

I had saved a link to clearheavens' planning bio because she had a good variety of invitation wordings on there... here's the section that she had that in:

We used: Mr. And Mrs. Bride's parents Request the honor of your presence At the nuptial mass in which their daughter Bride and Mr. Groom Unite in the sacrament of holy matrimony Saturday the fifth of May Two thousand and twelve Church name Address I always thought it sounded funny to invite people to your marriage. Only three people are invited to my marriage: me, FI, and God. Whereas, a whole lot of people are invited to the wedding mass. I know a lot of people word it that way, so it's probably just a personal quirky peeve of mine, but that's what it always sounded like to me.
