Wedding invitations are a great way to announce your wedding and provide all the necessary details about your big day. If you are including your parents’ names on your invitations, there are a few things to keep in mind.
First, decide how you want to list your parents’ names. You can list them in order of precedence (mother’s name first, then father’s name), or you can list them alphabetically. You can also choose to include their titles (Mr. and Mrs., Dr. and Mrs., etc.) or not. If you are not including your parents’ titles, be sure to use their full names.
Including Parents’ Names on Wedding Invitations
There are many different ways to include your parents’ names on your wedding invitations. Here are a few examples:
- Mr. and Mrs. John Smith request the honour of your presence at the marriage of their daughter, Sarah, to Mr. William Jones.
- Mr. and Mrs. John Smith invite you to celebrate the marriage of their daughter, Sarah, to Mr. William Jones.
- Sarah Smith and William Jones invite you to celebrate their marriage, with the blessing of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Smith.
- Mr. and Mrs. John Smith and Mr. and Mrs. William Jones invite you to celebrate the marriage of their children, Sarah and William.
Ultimately, the decision of how to include your parents’ names on your wedding invitations is up to you. Consider your own personal style and preferences, as well as the overall tone of your wedding.
