At the time you are planning your wedding, think about your invitations. How they look, the appearance, the intention, the purpose, and every message that you want to transmit to your guests of the wedding.
Generally wording for your personal wedding invitations can be seen in this way::
Mr. & Mrs. Charles Brice
Request the honor of your presence
To witness the bonding together
Of their daughter Lindsay Kittie Brice
And
Mr. James Sawyer Ford
Son of Mr. And Mrs. William Ford
These details obviously can change depending on the purpose that you have.
Something less formal could be like this:
Lindsay Kittie Brice
and
James Sawyer Ford
invite you to eyewitness
their vows of love
on their wedding day.
(etc…)
At this point, nothing is really right or wrong; it depends on the moment, the purpose of the couple and the style of the wedding
In some cases it would be necessary to include the invitations to the wedding reception along with the wedding invitation. In other cases it would be better to separate invitations.
A separate invitation to the reception only might look like this:
Linsay Kittie Brice
And
Mr. James Sawyer Ford
Request the pleasure of your company
At their wedding reception,
Saturday, the seventh of May
at five o’ clock in the afternoon.
St. Luca’s Church
4567 Eight Avenue

Reply cards, are a new invention for your wedding invitations. They are separated cards included inside the invitation that need to be filled out. Formal protocol requires you to supply stamps to the reply card’s envelope.
If you care about each situation of your wedding, including your invitations in this way you will be transmitting a beautiful environment full of love, and a good time to remember in the future
Remember that E-mail RSVPs are not acceptable except if the event is not formal. Sometimes it would be appropriate to invite a guest to your wedding but not to your reception. However this will almost never be the case.
