Best Answer
The simple answer is to address them as Mr John Smith & Mrs Mary Smith.-------------------------------------------------------------------------Who is HostingThe first names your guests will see on your wedding invitation are those of the people who are paying for the event. Traditionally, this has been the bride's parents, and so it reads:

Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Beazley

or

Kate and Marvin Beazley

If the bride and groom are hosting, then the line reads

Ms. Jane Doe and Mr. Sam Smith

or,

Together with their families,

Jane Doe and Sam Smith

The Request

The next line in a wedding invitation is the one that requests that your guests attend.

If your ceremony is at a place of worship, then the line should read:

request the honor of your presence

at the marriage of their daughter

Note the formal British spelling of the word "honor." The word daughter is used as an example and should be the gender of the person whose parents are hosting. If, on the other hand your ceremony is at home or other secular location, then the line should read:

request the pleasure of your company

at the marriage of their daughter

or

would be delighted for you to attend

the marriage of their daughter

If the couple is hosting:

invite you to join us at the celebration of our marriage

The Happy Couple

Etiquette says that the bride should be listed first, using first and middle names only. Then the groom should be listed, using both title and middle name.

So for example:

Nora Jane

to

Mr. Scott Andrew Jackson

Date and Time

Traditionally, these are spelled out:

Saturday, the tenth of June

two thousand and six

at four o'clock in the afternoon

note that the month and day are capitalized. If it were a 4:30 ceremony, the time would read at half after four o'clock in the afternoon.

But for a less formal ceremony, you can also write

Saturday, June 10, 2006

at 4 p.m

The Location

If the ceremony is at a well known location, you needn't include the address:

The Museum of Fine Arts

Houston, Texas

Time for the Reception

Let your guests know there is going to be a party afterward . This can either be included on the wedding invitation or on a separate reply card.

On the wedding invitation, it would read

Reception to follow at the Briar Hills Country Club

If you're not serving a full meal, it is nice to let guests know. You might write:

And afterwards for cocktails and cake in the RoseRoom.

Or

Dessert and dancing to follow

a separate reception card is often good to use if the ceremony and reception are in different places, or the reception doesn't immediately follow the ceremony. It might read something like

Reception

8 o'clock

Wedding invitations are usually written based on who is hosting the wedding whether the parents of the bride or the parents of the groom or both parents of the bride and groom or bride and groom themselves.

For this case the diseased grandparents will read something like:

The late Mr. and Mrs (insert name)

Or you can say something like together with their parents and grandparents, without mentioning the names of any of the parents as it can take too much space on the invite.

Which name is first in a wedding invitation?

The traditional format is to put the man's name first. However I usually put the name first of the person I am related to or friends with, and then put his/her spouse's name second. This is less 'correct' but more honest and more respectful, in my opinion, in that it puts first the person I am closer to, rather than always leaving the woman trailing behind the man.
