Indian wedding has always been a fun, frolic and fiesta for the family involved and guests who attend the grand event. Everything from invitation to reception to honeymoon has a stroke of splendor. As real wedding ceremony starts with invitation, I will tell you about the wedding invitation wording.
Gone are the days when people used to send simple invitation cards to their relatives, friends and acquaintances. There was an age when elders of the family used to send wedding invitation cards to the concerned – most of them were relatives and well-wishers of the family, and friends of bride and groom. But now the trend has changed, and brides and grooms have taken the rein in their hands, after all they are going to marry, and not their parents.
Drafting an invitation is not a child’s play for any couple. The copy should look a statement you make about your D-Day and at the same time, you want to communicate everything in a single note: names of your parents, venue, date, time, address and other stuff. The language you use tips off the wedding's level of formality, informing guests what to expect and to wear. So here is a standard wording sample:
Because you have shared in
our lives
by your friendship and love, we
Vikas
and
Himani
together with our parents
invite you to share
the beginning of our new life
together
when we exchange marriage
vows
Sunday, the nineteenth of May
Two thousand two
five-thirty in the evening
The Grand Bhagwati,
Ahmedabad – India
Reception to follow
Be Creative
Love can make you a poet, and you can use your poetic excellence in drafting your invitation cards: use the most attractive language with catchy words and phrases. If possible, coin new words. You can also use funny language to tickle the ribs of recipients. But, you should send such invitation cards to your friends and colleagues only. Use formal style while you are sending invitation cards to your relatives and acquaintances.
Create a Wedding Website
A personal wedding website is a great way to share all your wedding details and memories with your friends and family. You can not only invite your near and dear ones but also can share all your stories, events information, photos, maps, videos and more with your friends and preserve your wedding website forever. More importantly, it’s ultra-cool and unique b’coz it’s e-invitation card.
You can choose your wedding site according to the theme of your wedding.
All in all, your wordings should sound convincing to the recipients; they should feel the warmth of your heart by your words only.
