Wording my wedding

My fiance and I have been discussing ways to word our invitiations. Both of his parents are deceased. My parents are still alive. I suggested that we have the invitation come from our daughter. Something that says ______ requests the honor of your presence at the ceremony uniting her parents. Is this ok? I've never seen that done before and I don't want to be wrecking any rules or anything. You know I'm learning as I go along. What are you ladies doing?

Re: Wording my wedding

Rhoda are so correct---I have two children and their names will definetly be first on my invitations. So you are on the right track.

Charlotte wishes you all a beautiful Christmas filled with loads of love, laughter and the true meaning of this blessed season.

Re: Wording my wedding

I think that it would make your child feel more included in the ceremony and the entire process of planning. Sometimes when children are involved they seem to get left out, but you are doing the right thing.....Good luck!

Be Blessed.....

Re: Wording my wedding

Thanks Charlotte & Laneirh. My FH and I are taking extra special care to include her. She is 15, and while I am marrying her father, she is making adjustments too. Her dad & I have only been re-united for about a year and have not been together for all of that time. We want her to know that she means the world to us! I appreciate the encouragement.

Re: Wording my wedding

My son and my daughter will be sending out the invitations. It will read something like this

Love knows no limit to its endurance
No end to its trust,
Love still stands
When all else has fallen.

Re: Wording my wedding

Happily, that's nice. But, there's a couple of things. 1st, what is "At to this"? It doesn't sound right to me. The wording just sounds discombobulated. And it should be twentieth, not twenty day. Just a few pointers.

Re: Wording my wedding

Happy that sounds really nice! However, I agree with Septbride that those few minor changes need to be made. I was really thrown with the "at to this". Had you seen this somewhere before or did you compose this yourself?

Re: Wording my wedding

Hi Jonique welcome to the site and thank you for being so "up front" with us, honesty is very importnat to us here.

You are correct.....nothing is set in stone and if that invitation appeals to them and it fits their personalitites, I say go with it...also, and this is only "my" suggestion...soften up the intro a bit...where you say "ask you to be present at the ceremony uniting their parent etc

Charlotte wishes you all a beautiful Christmas filled with loads of love, laughter and the true meaning of this blessed season.

Re: Wording my wedding

I have a question. Is there a particular order for the children's names to be on the invitation? Our children are Zaniya - age 10 (FH biological); Al-Jamier - age 9 (my biological); and Kyasia - age 4 (both FH and my daughter).

If I do it youngest to oldest - I don't want FH to feel I put her last.

Re: Wording my wedding

Hey some of my post didn't post. I had added that I think I would list it alphabetically - if I use children names. I'm undecided.
