Do we really HAVE TO include middle names on our invites??

My parent's didn't give me a middle name when I was born. I did, though, chose a confirmation name when I was confirmed. I rarely use it.

FH was blessed at birth with an unusual family middle name. He never, ever uses it-just the initial. I don't think anyone outside of his family even know it!

Do we have to include these names on our invites? I'm curious what everyone else did/is doing!

Thanks!!

I don't think it's a requirement!

You absolutely do not have to! Do what makes you comfortable.

I don't think we are going to use our middle names either.

I didn't use mine or my FH's middle names on our invites and I don't think it it a requirement.

You do not have to use middle names! I absolutely refused to let my FI use his middle name on the invite. His middle name is terrible, even he hates it

You do not need to use a middle name. I am using mine on the invite since I use it often but my FH is not using his since he never uses it.

I think I will be using my middle name, but FH hates his and will just be using his middle initial .

I think it's perfectly OK not to use middle names on wedding invitations. I will not be including our middle names...I think that it's very formal, and I am going for a less formal approach to my whole wedding.
