How to Word Winter Wedding Invitations
Winter is normally a time associated with dark, dreary solemnity. Bring some life to the season with a winter wedding. Winter weddings are a creative way to break up the monotony and give guests a reason to get out of the house and celebrate. Many people make travel plans during the winter, so word your invitation well to best inform guests of your winter wedding.

Determine who is hosting the wedding. If the wedding is hosted by the parents of the bride and groom, the phrasing will typically begin, "Mr. and Mrs. Steven White and Mr. and Mrs. Janet Kost." If the bride and groom are hosting the wedding, the phrasing will state, "Andrea White and John Kost."

Create a transitional invitational phrase. The traditional phrase for couples to use is, "Request the honor of your presence as they are united in marriage." For those desiring a more contemporary and winter-specific theme, consider phrases such as, "Request the honor of your presence in welcoming the joy of the season through an exchange of marriage vows," or "Request the honor of your presence at their winter marriage."

Add a poem, Christmas carol or winter saying to the invitation. If you desire to specify a winter theme or use a favorite saying or poem, place it at the top of the invitation in quotation marks. For example, "One kind love can warm three winter months," "Winter is overhead, but love brings spring to the heart," or "Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love."
