Mr. and Mrs. Charles C. Miller
request the pleasure of your company
at the marriage of his daughter
Karen Percy Miller
daughter of Ms. Rachel M. Wood
to Michael Francis Jacobson
Saturday, the seventeenth of May
two thousand and eighteen
at half past four in the afternoon

Note:

  • Please note, if the bride would like all parents listed on the invitation, you may list the nonhosting parents (as well as their relationship to the bride and/or groom) below the request line.
  • It is not customary to list the bride’s last name; but in instances where more than one parent is hosting and the last name is not obvious, it is best to list to avoid confusion.
  • “request the honor of your presence” is traditionally only used if the ceremony is taking place in a house of worship.
