- how to word an invitation when there are deceased parents, and even opting to send personalized invites to the bridal party to give them special recognition of being in the wedding.
Even the styles range from formal and traditional to casual and can include a small verse or poem that you could also include on the wedding favors you give to your guests.
There are also times when couples marry after they've been together for some time and have had children together, so they've decided on informal, casual invitations.
Let's look at some other pretty frequent scenarios where you may need to word the invitation a bit off from traditional.
The couple has a limited budget but both the bride and groom have large, extended families with a lot of friends. They would like to invite everyone to the ceremony but don't think they can afford to invite everyone to the reception.
What should they do? How could they word their invitations to pull this off?
- The first option is to leave off any mention of a reception
following the ceremony and send separate reception cards only to those
who are being invited.
The problem there is, people will talk after the event and those not invited will more than likely get word of there being a reception that they weren't invited to. That could cause some real problems later on. - The second scenario calls for limiting the ceremony invitations to only those who would also be invited to the reception. That would actually be the more polite thing to do.
- And lastly, which is actually the best option and would make everyone happy, is to plan the wedding ceremony for later in the evening and instead of serving an all-out dinner for the reception, simply plan for light hors d'oeuvres or finger foods with the dessert being your wedding cake
