    Looking for some input and votes on these three wording samples for our invitations.  We are hosting the entire wedding ourselves and I'm debating on whether or not to include parents' names on the invite or to just list our parents within our programs.  I copied the samples so they have fake names and locales.

    Your comments needed, hive!

    Sample 1:

    The pleasure of your company is 
    requested at the marriage uniting 
    Tabitha Newton 
    and 
    Doctor Nicolas Hamilton 
    Saturday, the twenty-sixth of July 
    two thousand fourteen 
    at half past five o’clock in the evening 
    Richmond Country Club 
    5479 Milton Road 
    Nashville, Tennessee

    Sample 2:

    Amy Meredith 
    daughter of George and Patricia Meredith 
    and 
    Victor Jonathan Mallet 
    son of Bill and Anne Mallet 
    invite you to share

    in a celebration of love

    as they are united in marriage

    on Saturday, the sixth of December 
    two thousand fourteen 
    at three o'clock in the afternoon 
    Saint Luke Catholic Church 
    119 Louis Drive 
    Raleigh, North Carolina

    Sample 3:

    Kayla Jean Garrison 
    and 
    Henry Todd Ulnston 
    invite you to share in the joy 
    when they exchange 
    marriage vows 
    and begin their new life together 
    on Saturday, the fifteenth of February
    at two o'clock in the afternoon 
    St. Joseph's Church 
    210 Main Street 
    Chicago, Illinois

     

    Feel free to mix and match and of the wording also and post below!

    I like sample 3, as it's similar to what we did.  We also hosted our own wedding, and I didn't want there to be any ambiguity about that.

    If the bride and groom are hosting the wedding, there is no reason to include parents' names on the invites. That said, I like #1. However "pleasure of your company" is used for non-church locations and "honour of your presence" (yes the formal British spelling) is used for church venues.

    I was in the same situation..we are hosting the entire wedding...but I felt bad not mentioning the families...so ours went...

    Brides name and Grooms name

    Together with our families

    Invite you to share the beginning of our new life together
