Invitation wording for a ceremony without mass?

My FI and I are not having a full mass and my parents are hosting the wedding. What would be the proper wording on the invite to let people know it will be a Catholic ceremony, without a full mass? I do not think the term “nuptial mass” pertains to our ceremony. Thank you for your help ladies.

    "Request the honor of your presence" indicates that it is at a house of worship, whether or not it is a mass. The location being something like "St. Thomas' Catholic Church" will tell them it's catholic. You don't need to go into details over whether or not it's a mass.

    You are right, Nuptial Mass would be misleading.

    A couple other things:
    In the Catholic wedding, the marriage is of the bride AND groom, not the bride TO groom.
    Also, you should mention something about the Sacrament.
    Parents' names
    request the honour of your presence
    as their daughter
    Your Name
    and
    FI's Name
    are united in the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony
    Date
    Church Name
    Location

    Mica, I never knew that (about the AND). I think I did TO. Oh well too late now!
