Sarah + Nicholas | The Calligraphic Wedding Suite

1/20/2015

I am so fortunate to have gotten to work with Sarah on her and her husband's wedding. She was an absolute PLEASURE to work with from start to finish.

My experience with Sarah started WAY back with her bridal shower thank you cards! She chose to have me design and print the VERY popular and SUPER adorable "Thank You from the future Mrs." card. They are the perfect card to say thank you with a personal touch. And what bride doesn't LOVE seeing their future last name in print... I'm new(ish)ly engaged and I get so excited every time I see anything that references my future name or wedding plans. So exciting!!

Wedding Invitation Wording and Etiquette

Perfectly wording your wedding invitations is no easy task. Here are some simple tips and rules of thumb that will help make the process easier. Need additional help? Let us handle the writing for you!

The Invitation

The name(s) of the host(s) should be listed at the top of the invitation. Information on the invitation should include:

Names of the bride and groom
Names of the host(s) - traditionally this is the parents of the bride but more and more frequently it can be the bride and groom or the parents of the groom as well. No one sticks to tradition anymore ;)
Ceremony date, date of week, time, location

Tips:

Women who are widowed should be addressed according to their late husband's name with Mrs. in the title (i.e. Mrs. Richard Davis)
The word "and" implies those two people are married. If hosts or guests are unmarried their names should be stacked
The phrase "request the honor of your presence" is typically reserved for a church service or place of worship
If the wedding ceremony and reception are being hosted at the same place, a reception card is not necessary. At the bottom of the invitation you can state "reception to follow" or "dinner and dancing to follow"
Do not use abbreviations wherever possible. If it is necessary, keep it consistent across entire collection

ALLISON + ROBERT

This past year I had the privilege of working with my good friend Allison and her husband Robert on many of the pieces for her wedding. Originally her wedding was going to be in sunny Florida but in the end they opted for an intimate wedding here in Cincinnati. It was absolutely beautiful.
