Fun Facts: Invitation Etiquette

Did you know:

• The inner envelope is the place to list exactly who is invited and by omission who isn't {children, for example}


• 'The Honour of Your Presence' is only used when the ceremony is in a house of worship, otherwise, the traditional wording is 'The Pleasure of Your Company is Requested...'


• Dates should always be spelled out in full, including the year {there is no 'and' between two thousand nine}
  
• States should also be spelled out in full


• Brides are married 'to' their grooms, except in the Jewish faith, where brides 'and' grooms marry


• There should never be any mention of gifts on the invitation or in the enclosures
