Note:

  • Be sure to list the bride’s parents and groom’s parents on separate lines, starting with the bride’s.
  • Because both last names are included in the greeting, you do not need to use either the bride or groom’s last name.
  • “request the honor of your presence” is traditionally only used if the ceremony is taking place in a house of worship.
