Free Wedding Invitation Templates

 



For casual ceremonies, the sky is really the limit as to style.

But most weddings follow a certain set of formalities in their

invitations. Here is a template for a normal wedding invitation:

 

         Mr. and Mrs. John Doe

   request the honour of your presence

    at the marriage of their daughter

              Kathryn Marie

                   and

          Mr. James Henry Smith

     on Saturday, the tenth of July

         two thousand and five

            at seven o’clock

          First Baptist Church

            222 Ellerbe Road

              Paris, Texas

 

As for a formal wedding template, there are some rules of wording

that are appropriate:

 

1.  Spell out every word, even the date and year. Street, not St.

Road, not Rd.

2.  Use Roman numerals in titles, such as David Kenneth Williams

III. Do not use "3rd" or "third".

3.  For weddings in a church, say "request the honour of your

presence". For non-religious weddings, say "request the pleasure

of your company".

4.  Write out full names. Do not use initials.

 

You can copy and paste this template onto your word processor for

easy guidance:

 

       (the name of bride’s parents/parent)

        request the honour of your presence

         at the marriage of their daughter

               (the name of bride)

                      to

               (the name of groom)

                on (weekday name),

    the (day of month, spelled out) of (month)

           at (time, spelled out) o’clock

          (name of church or building)

          (address of church/building)

           (city, state of ceremony)

 

Optional:

        Reception Immediately Following

                      At

             (name of location)

 

Directions to the reception hall can be given at the wedding or

on a separate card in the invitation envelope.

When it Comes to Engagements, Manners Matter

  With marriage proposals modernizing into an "anything goes" mentality, long-standing proposal customs are often considered optional, adding confusion to what's considered proper when it comes to proposing. In fact, a recent proposal survey conducted by Korbel Champagne Cellars revealed that 68 percent of Americans agree that there's no "right" way to propose. Korbel and etiquette expert Peter Post weigh in on some of today's most-discussed proposal etiquette issues: Meet the Parents * This is a common question and an area where the rules have slightly changed. The concept of asking your intended's parents' permission to wed may seem old-fashioned, but the modern equivalent isn't - discussing your plans and intentions with your future in-laws is still a sign of respect. On Bended Knee * Once considered a sign of servitude to the lover, this tradition dates back to the days of knights and chivalry and continues to evoke romance
