OK...so I read up thousands of sites regarding wording on invites....I had no idea that: 'request the honour of your presence' was reserved for church weddings! I'm having and outdoor spiritual ceremony...does it matter that I used that wording?

I have never heard of that before and if all of us brides who read anything wedding related we can get our hands on have never heard of it, I think you are safe.

Re: freaking out!!!!
As one of my favorite hip hop mcs says, no need for alarm. I've heard nothing of the sort, and also doubt your friends and family will be upset about it. It's cool. Don't sweat it!

Re: freaking out!!!!
It actually does exist...
General wording dos and don’ts:
No periods (.) at the end of a line First letter of each line is not capitalized unless it is a proper noun (for example, “Sunday, the fifth of October” is correct, or, “on Sunday, the fifth of October” is correct Time and date are written out (half after five o’clock, September first, two thousand and three; two thousand three is also correct and more formal) Only events taking place in houses of worship would have the phrase “the honour of your presence” used on the invitations. Otherwise, it’s appropriate to use “request the pleasure of your company”
HOWEVER..I didnt pay any mind to it and I am getting married outside and I used 'request the honor of your presense'..Dont stress it..ur guest arent even going to know it...
ive heard of that too - just for religious ceremonies - its on a lot of 'ettiquette' sites but once again i dont think anyone will either notice or care
