Host Line (who is hosting a/k/a paying)
Request Line (the invitation to come to the wedding)
Bride and Groom Line (the name of the couple)
Date and Time Line
Location Line (where the ceremony will be held)
Reception Line (where and when the reception will be held or a separate card)
R.S.V.P Line (on the lower left corner or a separate card/envelope)
Attire Line (lower right corner, optional)
Since the groom’s parents are not hosting or co-hosting the wedding you can put their names under the groom’s. Example:
Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Jones
invite you to the wedding of their daughter
Samantha Louise
to
John Smith
son of
Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Smith
Saturday, June 18, 2011
at six o’clock in the evening
Tribeca Rooftop
reception immediately following
If your parents don’t really care you can add the groom’s parents names to the host line if it’s a bigger deal to them. Remember, it’s important to not have World War III break out as it gets closer to your wedding day so try and accommodate your future in-laws if you can.
The invite with the co-host line would read something like:
Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Jones
and
Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Smith
invite you to the marriage of their children
Samantha Louise
and
John Smith
