"Hi, I'm Laura, from youngwritersworkshops.com. I'm going to talk about how to write a wedding invitation. Now, a wedding is such a special event, that you really want to express some of the emotion behind it, in your invitation. A lot of times the approach to writing the invitation, is that the bride's family, the names of her parents are mentioned, and so it goes something like, Mr. and Mrs. James Curtis, joyfully extend the invitation to join us for the wedding of, and then it lists the bride's name, and the groom's name. A wedding invitation should always include the date and time that the wedding will take place, and the location. Often, a formal style is used in writing out the dates, so it might say the 16th day of October, 2008. That's really up to you. You have the option of using whatever style is comfortable and matches your wedding ceremony. You would also conclude by describing the location in general terms, such as at the First Presbyterian Church, in the name of your city. You don't necessarily need to list the address in that formal invitation, because the information will be given in another part of the invitation, but to summarize, start out with an expression of your emotion about the wedding, such as Mr. and Mrs. Curtis, joyfully invite you to join them. List the bride's name and the groom's name, the date written out, and the location of the wedding, and that's how you write a wedding invitation."
