    I think you use honour when it's in a church? That wasn't part of our wording so I didn't look into it but I think I've seen that mentioned on here before.

    Honour is typically used for more formal settings, but is appropriate for any invitation. Honor is generally used for more casual, non-church weddings and receptions. If you aren’t sure which spelling would be most appropriate for your wedding, use the phrase “the pleasure of your company” instead.

    Sorry I clicked post too soon - that was what I found on google. I used Honour because I thought it looked fancier :)

    I am probably going to be a rebel and use honor even though we are having a full catholic mass wedding... i just think honour is stupid haha... but that is just me :)

    I prefer honor too. Just like I like "favor" instead of "favour". :)

    We used "honour" for our late afternoon Catholic wedding and evening reception, because I liked that it looked a little fancier. :) Either spelling is correct; the only etiquette rule that I came across was that "honour" should be used with "favour," and "honor" with "favor."Also, "requests the honor of your presence" is only used with the ceremony takes place in a house of worship. For any other ceremony (home, outdoors, etc.), the correct invitation wording is "requests the pleasure of your company." Good luck! :)

    haha etiquette is so ridiculous some times... one can only be honorable at a place of worship. how charming? i would use honor because i use american english. if i were in canada/ or if i were canadian i'd use honour. one of my friends has a theory about vowels and life span. she calls it the wheel of fortune theory. moral of the story: you're only given so many vowels to use when you're born...use them wisely. lol

    ms nobody, I'm cracking up at your whole response!  I would use honor, because that's how I'd write it if I wrote it on anything else.
