invitation wording - couple hosts
Hi Everyone.
My fiance and I are paying for most of our wedding. Both of our parents feel we should put our names on the wedding invitation because we are really paying for our own wedding.
What are some examples of the wording?
we were thinking something like this:
Nicole Middle Last
and
James Middle Last
Ensign United States navy
request the honor of your presence
at their marriage
on Saturday, the twenty fourth of October
two thousand nine
at two o’clock in the afternoon
XY Church
123 Main Street
Town, New York
is it 'two thousand AND nine'?
do i put 'AT' two o'clock?
i have seen different versions online and in books, and wanted peoples opinions on what was correct for a formal wedding invitation. we decided to use the contemporary spelling on honor (not honour)
TIA
