Honor or Honour??

connor24

Did you put Honor or Honour in your wedding invitations?

We did honour.

Honour.  We opted for all the traditional wording. 

Honor is fine though if you want to be a little less formal/more modern.

It is my understanding (and I could be wrong) but you only use Honour if you are getting married in a church otherwise you use Honor.

Honour....we got married in a church.

PP is right about Honour vs Honor based on where you are getting married...as far as I've heard at least.

Honor/honour is reserved for a wedding in a house of worship, yes. The spelling doesn't make a difference.

We used "honor" for our church wedding.

I'm a traditionalist; honour it is.

<div>Honor/honour for church. Isn't it "request the pleasure of your company" if it is not in a house of worship?</div>

Yes. "Hono(u)r of your presence" for a church or temple wedding, "pleasure of your company" otherwise.

Honor. I firmly believe Americans shouldn't use British spelling (the only exceptions I'm fine with are "theatre" and "grey").

Even though it's "tradition" and what the etiquette experts advise, I think "honour" these days can come across as pretentious or trying too hard. While people who use the "theatre" or "grey" spellings always spell it that way, almost all of the Americans who put "honour" on their invitations normally spell the word "honor."

And I don't think that U makes anything more formal - in Britain, everyone, from chavs to royals, spells it "honour."

What bugs me most is that it's applied inconsistently. Do you have a maid of honour? Yeah, I didn't think so.

We used honour and we didn't get married in a church.

We will use honour and we are not getting married in a church, but we are having an interfaith wedding that will be considered a valid marriage by the church. I am trying to stay as traditional as possible.

jchristel

We are getting married at our venue and used "requests the pleasure of your company"
