invitation wording

can you tell me what you are writing in your invitations? Im not sure how to write it. My parents are deceased and his are divorced so the invitation is going to be as us hosting not the parents. can you post what your wording is? TIA

Re: invitation wording

Hey,
I'm not quite up to invitations yet, but I know etiquette sources suggest the following for a formal celebration:

The honor of your presence
is requested at the marriage of
BRIDE
to GROOM
Saturday, the seventeenth of May
two thousand and eight
at half past four in the afternoon

or

The pleasure of your company
is requested at the marriage of
BRIDE
to GROOM
Saturday, the seventeenth of May
two thousand and eight
at half past four in the afternoon

OR- for something more casual maybe something like:

BRIDE & GROOM
invite you to their wedding
Saturday, May 17, 2008
at 4:30 in the afternoon

or

BRIDE & GROOM
invite you to share and celebrate at their wedding
Saturday, May 17, 2008
at 4:30 in the afternoon

Hope this helps

I've seen this wording for a couple hosting their own wedding:

Bride & Groom
request the honor of your presence
as they exchange marriage vows
Date
Time
Place
etc.
