Q.
My fiancé and I are
having a family wedding and a reception for
those attending. He is in the military and is
being sent overseas for 6 months soon after the
wedding. After he returns, we plan to have a
huge celebration and invite everyone we would
have invited to the wedding had we had the big
wedding originally planned. We are sending
invitations to the wedding to family members. We
are also planning to send announcements to those
we plan to invite to the celebration we will
have in 6 months and then send invitations to
everyone as we get closer to this date. Are we
doing the correct thing? Also, how should
announcements and invitations to the celebration
be worded?
A.
It sounds to me
like you've taken your time to come up
with a well-thought-out plan. I don't
see anything you would need to change.
As for the wording for invitations and
announcements, it's very similar-- and
both can be adjusted to suit your own
preferences. In general, though, the
wording would be something like:
INVITATION:
Mr. and Mrs. [your father's name]
request the honor/honour of your
presence
at the marriage of their daughter
[your full name w/o the last name]
to
Mr. (optional) [his full name w/ the
last name]
on [day of the week], the [date spelled
out] of [month]
[year spelled out]
at [time spelled out]
[name of wedding location]
[name of city, state]
ANNOUNCEMENT:
Mr. and Mrs. [your father's name]
have the honor/honour of announcing (or,
"announce with joy" or just "announce"
on the line below)
the marriage of their daughter
[your full name w/o the last name]
to
Mr. (optional) [his full name w/ the
last name]
on [day of the week], the [date spelled
out] of [month]
[year spelled out]
[name of wedding location]
[name of city, state]
If you will be using your fiancé's
military rank on the invitation, my
understanding is that--- if he holds a
rank below Captain (Army), Commander
(Navy), Sergeant (AF), or Major
(Marines), his full name goes on one
line, his rank and branch, separated by
a comma go on the line before.
Hope this helps. Best wishes on all your
plans, and God bless you and your fiancé
while you're apart.

Advice:
We would like to send out wedding announcements to our friends
that will not be at the wedding. We thought that including a
wallet-size wedding picture would be nice. However, the
pictures will not be developed until a month after the
wedding. Is this too late to send the announcements out? |
| |
Advice:
should the announcements be just from the newly weds or from
the parents like the invitations? Should they include the
elopement date and place? Since they do not receive mail at
their home, should only their PO box be mentioned; if so, how? |
| |
Advice:
We are having a private family wedding. After the wedding we
will send wedding announcements. How do we word our return
address? |
| |
Advice:
I would like to announce the engagement of my son and his
fiancé to friends and old neighbors who I haven't spoken to
in a while. This does not mean that they will be invited to a
wedding, (cost prohibitive,) it's simply to let them know that
they are engaged. Is this proper? |
| |
Advice:
The Groom's father is deceased. We would like to include
groom's father's name. is it better to include "at home card"
or just state"...now reside at.." |

|
| |
Advice:
We cannot invite all of our friends to the wedding and
reception. Are announcements for friends and family who live
far away (an acceptable thing to do?) Are announcements for
friends who live in the vicinity of the church rude? When
should announcements be sent out? |
| |
Advice:
Wording: Las Vegas Wedding:
We are having a reception one week later in our home town.
People are more than welcome to join us in Las Vegas, but I
don't want them to feel like we are asking them, but the
option is there. I was wondering if I should include the
wedding ceremony information as well as the reception
information. |

Advice:
Wording:
We are sending them to people we could not quite afford to
invite to our wedding. I am keeping my maiden name. Can you
give us any suggestions? |
