Wedding Invitation Must-Haves
Let?s start with the must-have items to include in your wedding invitation suite to gain an understanding of what each envelope should contain.
The Invitation Itself
Obviously, the most important part of your invitation is the invite card itself! This part of your stationery suite is the ?main event? and should include some key information. This will explain who?s getting married, where the event will take place, and the date and time of the event. Another important aspect of the invitation card revolves around who may be hosting or funding the event. While there are many different ways to word invitations depending on familial situations nowadays, common wording includes stating that the parents of the bride invite guests to witness the marriage of the bride to the groom, optionally adding the names of the parents of the groom under the groom?s name. Another common way of wording the start of an invitation is to state that ?together with their families? the bride and groom invite guests to their celebration.
