Our wedding is casual and I'd like to use informal wording on our invitations so that the casual nature is communicated properly.
One thing I really like, but don't know if I can make it work, is to use the words "we" and "our" instead of "their." Not sure if that's etiquette-approved (please let me know) but regardless, it seems to clash because we have our names listed, which is a third person point of view.
It could work if we skipped the names said, "Together with our families, we invite you to witness our wedding ceremony" (not the actual wording obviously, just used for the exercise) but it wouldn't really work if we said, "Together with our families SALLY SMITH and JOHN DEER invite you to witness our wedding ceremony," because now the subjects don't agree. But if we skipped the names, that invites a whole host of other wording issues.
Soooo yeah I don't think that's going to work, unless there's something I'm not seeing. Any other ideas for a less formal invitation?
