Common Questions About Invitation Wording
When should we use "the honour of your presence"?
Traditional etiquette dictates using "the honour of your presence" (spelled with a 'u') exclusively when the ceremony takes place inside a house of worship (church, temple, synagogue, mosque). For secular venues (gardens, estates, vineyards, hotels), use "the pleasure of your company."
How do we word invitations if parents are divorced?
List each parent on a separate line without the word "and" connecting them (e.g., "Mrs. Sarah Miller / Mr. David Miller / request the pleasure..."). If a stepparent is also co-hosting, list them together (e.g., "Mr. and Mrs. David Miller").
Where should we put the dress code on the invitation?
Place the dress code in the bottom right corner of the invitation (e.g., "Black Tie Optional" or "Cocktail Attire"), or print it on a separate Details enclosure card.
