ETIQUETTE

 

TIPS ON WORDING YOUR WEDDING INVITATIONS:

 

  • Note that “the pleasure of your company” replaces “the honour of  your presence” when the ceremony is held at a home, club, or hotel and not on sacred ground.

  • The date always is written out:  “Saturday , the tenth of July.”  

  • A noon wedding is worded “ at twelve noon” or “at twelve o’clock.” Weddings on the half hour are written as "half after" the hour instead of "half past" the hour.

  • A house or apartment number is written out through the number ten.
  • Afternoon begins at twelve o’clock. Evening begins at six o’clock.
  • Nicknames are never used on traditional wedding invitations.
  • Abbreviations are not used except for Mr. and Mrs.  
  • The words "junior" and "senior" are written in lower case. 
  • Envelopes should be hand-addressed. Do not use labels. 
  • A separate reception card is not required when the ceremony and reception are at the same location.
  • 10.While the year line is optional on a wedding invitation, it always appears on an announcement and is always written in full: “Two thousand fourteen.”
