    So my parents are throwing the fiancee and I a party to celebrate  our wedding with their friends who can't make it to the wedding (they live in Colorado, getting married in Canada)

    I can't seem to get the wording for this invite right!  Help?

    Join us in celebrating the

    upcoming wedding of

    S*** & P***

    details...

    What don't you like about the current wording? I think it sounds fine.  What level of formality will the party be?  Is it too late to call it an engagement party - how far in advance of the wedding will it be?  Do you want to include your parents' names as host?

    I'm not sure.. just the upcoming wedding of S & P sounded off to me, but that could just be me :)  It's not very formal, just a sunday BBQ lunch.  We've been engaged since August and the party is 3 weeks before our wedding, so I think its not in engagement party territory any more.

     

    Thanks for the reassurance!

    I agree with @Cinnamon - it sounds totally fine to me.  Saying "upcoming wedding" makes it pretty clear that it's before the wedding, which I think is important.
