Where Wedding Memories Begin...

Most often the parents of the bride issue the invitations and announcements. However, proper etiquette is followed if a close friend, relative, or the couple themselves send the invitation. Today's couples come from dynamic families. Traditional wedding invitation wording typically does not represent every bride and grooms parental circumstances. Below are complete example alternatives for traditional & non traditional wording (text) to use in your wedding invitation.

When ordering, proof read your wedding invitations and other stationary carefully. Take an extra set of eyes with you...overlooking a misspelled name or simple text during this exciting time is a common occurrence.

When you receive your invitations repeat the text proofing process.  Mistakes happen, but catching them when they happen will insure ample time for correction if needed.
