Wedding Shower Invitation Etiquette

December 30, 2008 | By admin In Wedding Etiquette |

Wedding etiquette is essential when it comes to letting the world know about your new upcoming marriage and the invitations that you send to your guests. Getting this right really does set the stage for what your guests will think and feel about you for the next months.

Your Wedding Invitation should include the following:

The name of who is sponsoring the wedding.
The names of those getting married. The bride’s surname may be left out but the groom’s should be included. If you use Miss at the beginning of her name, her surname should also be included.
The date of the wedding, include the day of the week with the date. It is proper to do this several ways including, “Saturday, the tenth day of June,” or “Saturday, June tenth,” as you see fit. The year can be eliminated or included.
There should not be any abbreviations used in the invitation, excluding Mr. and Mrs. Do not abbreviate drive, street, or the state.
No punctuation is used at the ends of sentences. You should use a comma to separate the city and state.
After the date is listed, the next line should include the time of the event. This too should be spelled out. Do not use am or pm, but if the timing is not obvious, then you can add in “in the morning” for a sunrise wedding or “in the evening” for a sunset wedding.
This should be followed by the location of the wedding. List the name of the location, Grace Church. On the following line is the church’s address. You do not always have to include the address, especially if it is a church. You should include it if the wedding is being held at someone’s home, though. People can easily find this information on maps included with the invitation or by a simple internet search.
