Wedding Invitation Styles
It is customary in a formal wedding invitation to spell out everything, including the date and time of the wedding.
So, for example, the invite should read Five o'clock in the evening not 5:00 p.m.
Each bit of information occupies its own line and no commas or period's (.) are used, except between the location of the wedding and the city and state in which it will take place.
In its simplest form, the sequence of lines usually follows this order:
__________________ [proper names of those hosting]
request the honor of your presence [request line]
at the marriage of their _________ [list relationship of the bride to the host]
