    Hi! Im in the middle of choosing the wedding invites and I don't want to go with the traditional wording. For "traditional" Im referring to these: 

    http://www.weddingguideuk.com/articles/planning/invitationwording.asp

     

    If you did something out of the ordinary please post your wording to get some ideas.

    If not, Any good reason to stick with the traditional wording?

    Thanks Bees!!

    My wedding is very non-traditional. I wrote, "You are cordially invited to witness and celebrate the union of MY NAME and HIS NAME on DATE/TIME at PLACE. We hope to see you there!"

    It was really simple.

    There are so many things that you can say to invite your guests - it should be to your style and to fit the occasion. I love this source of wording on invitations - TONS of examples:

    our lives 
    by your friendship and love we, 
    XXXX 
    and 
    XXXX
    together with our parents 
    invite you to share 
    the beginning of our new life 
    together 
    when we exchange marriage 
    vows

    that sounds nice :)

    we're going even more untraditional than that - our invites are inspired by these, but we're changing (more than) a few things.
