Mr. and Mrs. John Jolie request the honour of your presence at the marriage of their daughter

Mr. Brad Pitt


or do you just put

Brad Pitt.


In other words, keep or leave out the 'mr.'??

i dont think the mr. has anything to do with who is hosting... i assume that would be a personal preference or if you are into the more formal wording...

I don't think it has anything to do with who is hosting it either, but personally, I'd drop the 'Mr.' It just sounds weird to me.

Usually you wouldn't put the last name you would put just first names or first and middle names for a more formal invitation. For ours we added my father in laws name also so he would feel included and so distant family members on that side would know who's invitation it was since they wouldn't recognize my parents names. The first line made it clear though who the host was.

Mr. & Mrs. John Jolie request the honour of your presence at the marriage of their daughter

Angelina Mary

to

John Michael

son of Mr. & Mrs. Robert Smith

Definitely doesn't have anything to do with who's hosting but I guess it could have something to do with formality? Is it an uber formal wedding then I'd leave the Mr. if not, I'd take it out.

It doesn't have anything to do with who is hosting; I would get rid of the 'Mr.'...it just sounds unusual.
