Historically, weddings were cared for by the bride’s family. This meant the brides’ parents were inviting guests to witness the wedding of their daughter to the groom, with no mention of the groom’s parents. However, more often, couples are choosing to name both sets of parents as hosts as a gratious gesture despite who is assisting with the wedding costs.
When deciding on the wording or proper etiquette for wedding invitations, the couple must decide whether they would like them to be formal or informal. Below are some examples of how to word your wedding invitations for differences in host, request, couple, date/time, location, reception, and RSVP format:
