Name card wording

I put their names, and i didnt send them an invitation as officially they paid for it, we did send Hs parents an invitation

hth

I'm not having place cards, but if I was, I would put their full name ie, Jane Smith or Mrs Jane Smith, depending how formal you want to be.

I intend to send my parents invitations, mostly because they make nice keepsakes for them. My Mum has her Save The Date card up on her fridge! I addressed the Save The Date cards with their full names.

HTH

We will be putting their actual names.

We sent an invitation to everyone (we are paying), more as a keepsake for parents than anything. These did just say "Mum and Dad" though.

Thans guys - also if you were inviting a family - are you lisitng their individual names on the invites to avoid confusion of who is actually invited??!!

We listed everyone's names individually to avoid confusion (so any kids invited got their names on the invitation too).

Yes, defintely, to avoid any confusion. Also, we are putting on our information sheet about the reasons for children not being invited if this is what your issue is.

You guys are my guardian Angels!!!! Thank you so much! x

Our invites to mums, dads, grandparents etc where quite informal - the invites were 'from' us so said we'd be delighted if they were join us in celebrating our marriage ... it would have felt odd 'inviting' my own mum to my wedding in a more formal way!

name cards - we did a mix - if a pal had a nickname we used it! We used granny, grandad, but christian names for parents .... does that makes sense?

Depends on the formality of the day etc - the invite to my brideslave was written to 'Brideslave' and her name card said 'moho' (her nickname!)

no help at all that, huh?!

We sent invites to everyone except us!!!

We did address them from both sets of parents although didn't name then we just put "Together with their parents" at the top. Ours were very informal though and used the names I call people by eg. Mum and Dad and we didn't use any surnames except where I wrote our names so there would be no confusion over who's wedding people were invited to!!!

You can do it however you like though, I do think the invites set the tone for the day though and ours is a more informal wedding so didn't want the invites to be too formal. Infact I didn't use the phrase "Evening reception" but put "an evening of merriment" as we're not having a disco just music and drinking so didn't want to mislead poeple.
