Invite punctuation and caps help plzz

So what is the proper punctuation for your invites like where commas go and what first letter do i capitalize and does this change if i have things on different lines that the standard format. (ie. if normally the start of a word wouldnt be capped, does it change to caps if for some reason that word is on the start of a line)

Also, what are you guys doing with names? I see so many different variations

I know this is old school but i kinda was liking

Miss. Lorin Rachel (no girl last name)
to
Mr. Adolfo Soto (guy last name included) (my fh doesnt have a middle name)

Id like to know what you girls are doing though. Thanks!!!

I think so. But I'm not sure. The wording for the names sounds fine, though I plan to include my last name in it.

microsoft word automatically starts every sentence with a capital letter if you hit enter to get to the next line... but it shouldnt be that way for an invitation... at least that is what ive gathered from every invitation website ive seen

ETA: were doing first and middle names... i think its fine if you put his last name if he doesnt have a middle.... i think it might look strange if you had first and middle and he only had first.

Hmmm, I've always seen it the opposite. Every line starts with a capital. I guess it could go either way. You're not going to get struck by lightning if you don't have every line capitalized properly.

Here's mine, you can see the punctuation and/or caps on it:

IDK about the puncuation stuff but I am doing...

Shauna Renne' (no last name)
to
Matthew James Cruz (including last name)



I am skipping the Miss & Mr. part

this is what i would do... like the names should be capital, the day of the week, the name of the church, city and state...

every thing else is lower case

I just always though Miss was for teenagers... i dont know why, and I could totally be wrong...

I think Miss is any woman who has never been married

Ms. is a woman who has been married and divorced

I could be wrong though

I always thought Ms. was for adults and Miss was for youngsters.

So I looked up some stuff and after looking at a few different explanations, it seems that since we are hosting and parents names are not included, that both his and my last name should be included. So well do this. Then I think it seems like if we were to include a title, it should stay as Miss rather than Ms since in some situations on invites, that implies that the bride was once married. Thanks everyone!

i did a google search and youre right, Ms is used for divorced women who can no longer be considered a Mrs... but its also used for women who have never been married... i get letters adressed to me as Ms all the time... most of the answers i saw were based on the persons preference...

I was really confused about the capitalization of everything. On some of the proofs that I got everything was in caps lock. I think the invite Laura posted looks great and correct in that aspect.

i saw one or two like that too... i didnt like it at all, and I couldnt change it to regular... no matter what font i used it was always caps...
