Already we're into the first week of 2010, a season which looks to be very busy and packed full of exciting weddings. Those getting hitched in January have probably enjoyed a truly 'white winter wonderland wedding' and we can't wait to see their pictures! With 2009 behind us, many couples are now thinking about sending out their wedding invitations, RSVPs and guest information cards. Wording your wedding invitations are quite often a hot topic and is definitely one of the main questions we are asked for guidance on. With this in mind here's a few pointers:
Our most popular wedding invitation wording can be found online at http://www.your-rsvp.co.uk/ and features the most selected choices.
Traditional wording (from the brides parents)
Mr and Mrs James Allen request the pleasure of your company at the marriage of their daughter Sarah Jayne to Mark David Johnson at Down Hall Country House Hotel, Hatfield Heath on Saturday 17th September 2011 at 1.30pm.
Modern Wording (from both sets of parents)

Alternative Wording (from the couple)
