Proper Etiquette for Wedding Invitations:
A typical invitation includes certain customary elements: the host line, request line, bride and groom line, date and time lines, location line, and reception and R.S.V.P. lines. Although every invitation should have all these lines, they can be worded and arranged in countless ways to reflect the style of the occasion and the changing times. "The trend is that you do whatever makes good etiquette sense and makes you feel good," says Jerome Brownstein, engraving consultant at Ross-Cook Engraving in New York City. "People are trying to stay socially correct, and at the same time they want to be comfortable."
Start with the names of those issuing the invitation, traditionally the bride's parents. Evolving family structures and financial dynamics often make this the trickiest part of the process, so follow the format that best fits your situation
Most married couples follow the standard format (below); if they have different surnames, an "and" joins them.
Mr. and Mrs. John Michael Williams
Ms. Jane Marie Parks and Mr. John Michael Williams
Names are listed on separate lines without an "and" between them, and remember that Mom always comes first. If mom is remarried, use her married name; the oldest etiquette omits all stepparents, though you can add them if you like. If a remarried parent has a different surname from his or her spouse, put the birth parent first. If you must break the line, do it before the "and."
