Usually that is done so that people who get the invitation and are his parents' friends will be able to identify the groom as someone they know, especially if he has a common last name. It's totally not required and is really up to you.

It might be a nice touch. calypso522 on "Do you like my invitation??" http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/do-you-like-my-invitation#post-3223471 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 09:44:49 +0000 calypso522 3223471@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ Here it is with bolded black names.  Thanks for suggesting that!   I was thinking about having "together with our parents" but honestly, my parents would probably kill me if I cut out thier names, lol.  I'm their only child and they are very possessive.  My mom even kept my college diploma since she "paid" for it.  yeah.  lol PS:  I have two first names and one middle name, that's why it seems like my last name is on there!   <img src="http://bios.weddingbee.com/pics/148279/blurred_invite_2.jpg" /> angarrett81 on "Do you like my invitation??" http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/do-you-like-my-invitation#post-3223458 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 09:43:06 +0000 angarrett81 3223458@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <a href="#post-3223373">@calypso522:</a>  Looks great!  I've looked into the "honor of your presence" thing and it doesn't have to do with whether it's actually in a house of worship - it has to do with whether it's a religious ceremony.  We are having a religious ceremony at a vineyard, and we are using "honor of your presence." So, I think you're good with the current wording if you like it. <img src="http://boards.weddingbee.com/my-plugins/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> vmec on "Do you like my invitation??" http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/do-you-like-my-invitation#post-3223443 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 09:40:13 +0000 vmec 3223443@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ I loove the tree, I don't like the fact it's blue. My vote is make tree green and tie in the teal color with borders or something else. louisianablue on "Do you like my invitation??" http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/do-you-like-my-invitation#post-3223436 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 09:39:44 +0000 louisianablue 3223436@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ I was going to ask where the reception was!  I would definitely include a note that says reception to immediately follow. The other poster is right about only requesting the honor of your presence in a house of worship.  Even if you're getting married by a religious officiant somewhere else, you would request the pleasure of their company.

I didnt want just my parents names b/c we are all in it together, Just an idea... calypso522 on "Do you like my invitation??" http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/do-you-like-my-invitation#post-3223392 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 09:33:24 +0000 calypso522 3223392@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ oh! and should I put "reception to follow" or is that pretty much assumed?    calypso522 on "Do you like my invitation??" http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/do-you-like-my-invitation#post-3223373 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 09:31:16 +0000 calypso522 3223373@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ Thanks everyone!  I think I will change our names to black and bold.  Dark purple is another one of our wedding colors and I thought at first we would do dark purple cardstock in the back, but it isn't available in the right shade.  I was going to include his parents initially, but my fiance said not to worry about it.  Not sure why...  Is it traditional to include both or just the main funder of the wedding? My last name isn't on the invite, lol. <img src="http://boards.weddingbee.com/my-plugins/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-wink.gif" alt="Wink" title="Wink" />  I'll ask my parents about the "honor of your presence" or "company" thing.  My family insisted on a religious ceremony by a pastor, so I'll see if they will get mad if I change that.  Whatever makes everyone happy!
