The opening line of a wedding invitation usually refers to the hosts of the event. As mentioned above, if there are multiple parties organized, you only need to include names if you want formal invitations. If the couple is the hostess of the wedding themselves, this line can be omitted. An explicit request for assistance allows guests to know exactly what they are being invited to (give a glimpse of the squeals of emotion).
There are many different ways to draft this request depending on the level of formality required. See our examples below for inspiration. If you pay for the wedding yourself, the format of the wedding invitation will be slightly different. Basically, the greeting will skip the host line and start with the request line, here is an example.
If several people participate in the wedding, the invitation starts with the bride's name, followed by the groom's name, and finally the parents' names, starting with the bride's parents. Or go ahead, list the couple's names in alphabetical order, followed by their parents' names in the corresponding order.

When should our wedding invitations be sent? How much time should we give guests to RSVP for the wedding? Set your RSVP deadline three to four weeks before your wedding date. This time frame will allow you enough time to provide your provider with a final count, which is normally needed one week before the wedding. An accurate count will also allow you to finalize your wedding seating plan. If some guests haven't yet responded by the RSVP deadline, call them quickly to follow up.
How to properly assemble your wedding invitations. Some of our favorite wedding planners have tips on how to make your life easier. We discover the genius of design through design contests. At Minted, all that matters is good design.

Normally, your invitation will start with a list of hosts and inviting your guests. If the bride and groom are hosts, their names may appear first, followed by the invitation lines.
You would use their separate names if they are not married, but, if the invitation comes from your father or stepmother, the wording should look something like this (the use of him and she is interchangeable depending on whether he is your father's or your mother's host). If the bride doesn't have a title in the invitation, the groom shouldn't either. If the children are from a previous relationship, they must be listed by age, from oldest to youngest, and the bride's children must appear first (in order of age only for a same-sex marriage). .
