Wedding Invitations and Announcements Guidelines
Invitations go out about three weeks before the wedding. One invitation may be addressed to a husband and wife, with separate invites for other adult family members. For groups of children, a single invitation may be sent to the names Mary, Jane and Betts Smith. The bride’s family helps determine who receives church only versus ceremony plus reception invitations, with engraved reception cards. Announcements are mailed after the ceremony, on wedding day. An invitation to the reception requires a timely reply in the third person if written that way. A widow’s wedding announcement by her parents is proper, with a sample: Mr and Mrs Robert Porter announce the marriage of their daughter Mary Porter Thomas to Mr Steven Johnson on Saturday the seventeenth of June, 1944 in the City of Blank.
