For a formal wedding invitation, the names of not only the bride and groom must be there, but also the names of whomever is paying for the wedding. If it's the bride and groom that are paying, then no other names are used, not even the parents. The following wording would be if the brides parents have paid for the wedding. "Mr and Mrs John Jones request the pleasure of your company at the marraige of Ryan Smith and Susan Jones. Saturday, the ninth of June two thousand fourteen at two o'clock. Boathouse Hall, Denver, Colorado."
Generally, the accepted language for a wedding invitation is formal. If the wedding is going to be less formal, then the invitations should follow that example.
The date on a formal wedding invitation should read: on the 28th of February of two thousand and ten.
"The honour of your presence is requested" is very formal. If you're being less formal, go with "honor." Either one is fine--just think about the tone of the wedding.
For the 50th Wedding Anniversary invitation the man's name comes first: Mr. John Doe and Mrs. Jane Doe or if it is not that formal it could be 'John and Jane Doe.'
When having a formal affair then put on the invitation 'formal dress.'
For a small gathering, such as a party, birthday, or garden wedding a hand written invitation sets the tone of the event. For a formal gathering, such as a church wedding, graduation or christening, a printed, or engraved invitation is more common.
You don't need to write much at all on your save the date cards. Your names, date, and "invitation to follow" verbiage is really all that is needed. For more wording options, check out the Save the Date selection at Invitations by Dawn.http://bit.ly/1DA5eo
A sample of a non formal invitation letter in English should include the date, time, address, and other pertinent information regarding the event. For example, you will want to say "You are cordially invited to" in the very beginning of the invite.
Some places require that you dress in formal clothing, and this may imply the same requirement.
For a small gathering, such as a party, birthday, or garden wedding a hand written invitation sets the tone of the event. For a formal gathering, such as a church wedding, graduation or christening, a printed, or engraved invitation is more common.
That would probly be too much unless you are part of the ceremony in some way. A wedding guest should dress conservatively formal; unless the wedding invitation specifies some other dress code.
First of all, you should refer to the wedding invitation for the event's dress code, i.e. whether it's formal, semi-formal, or casual; then you can decide accordingly. You should note the type of venue when deciding what to wear, but for formal or semi-formal weddings, a tuxedo or dark suit (with tie) is usually sure to be acceptable.
