Traditionally the bride’s parents
host (pay for) the wedding, so their names are atop the invitation.
More often than ever before brides and grooms pay for their own
weddings, so their names top the invitation. If you choose this
option, you may still honor your parents by including their names
in the wording.
Jot down your initial wording in the worksheet section of this
Wedding Planner & Guide. Remember, the only way to make sure
your invitations are worded properly is to work with a professional
stationer or invitation specialist. Visit your local stationer or
printer to discuss the details and to determine what type of
invitations, printing processes (engraved: letters cut into the paper;
thermography: raised lettering, etc.), colors or trends will work best
with your wedding plans.
