Hi. My husband and I were married on a cruise in 3/07. We are planning a reception for Sept 07. I did not see anything stating this was too far off. Please confirm.
I plan to send the invitations 6 wks ahead. Looks like this is appropriate. Please confirm.
We are having a sit down dinner, open bar, but want it to be informal and we are hosting. What is the proper wording? I found this but we arent getting married so I wasnt sure how to word it.
An invitation issued by the couple to the wedding and reception:
The honour of your presence is requested at the marriage of Cheryl Rae Walker to Mr. Timothy Earle Jones Saturday, the fourth of March at five o’clock Veteran’s Memorial Center Davis And afterward at the reception
RSVP
For less formal weddings, the phrase: “is requested at the marriage of” could be changed to “invite you to the wedding of.” It may begin with “Please join us to

There is an obscure, old rule that a man is never separated from his name. Many still follow it. So, your name would be listed first so his name is intact. But, if you don't wish to use your name and this is a very formal event, then you would use the old fashioned and traditional, Mr. and Mrs. John Doe. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
