How To Word Wedding Invitations

Art, in general, is the appreciation of beauty. It implies order and harmony of parts in each whole.


Human life does not imply merely physical survival. It is a vocation towards the refinement of the spirit. Hence, the demands of daily life include and derive meaning from the cultivation of those traits that truly reflect mains innate dignity. In this context, ethics is considered an art. However, there are art forms that are different from those that are considered as ethical


For this reason, certain actions of man must be in proportionate to the ethical standards as dictated by mains innate dignity. One of which is how we should use words in different functions.



Take for example the wordings in a wedding invitation. Careful use of words and establishing them correctly is very crucial in wedding invitations. This is because wedding invitation are the first-hand symbol of the wonderful celebration that is about to take place.


Any misused, abused, or unethical choice of words may result to misunderstandings or misinterpretations between and among the guests.


Generally, wedding invitation wording should be clearly established to avoid confusions and misconception. There are instances where words may have several meanings depending on how it is used in a sentence.



Moreover, the wordings must accurately define the details of the wedding like the date, the exact time, and the place where the wedding ceremony will take place. These things should be clearly stated because there are cases wherein most guests directly assume that once they are invited, it means that they are asked to attend to the wedding ceremony and the reception.


However, there are some weddings that the couple would usually invite people just for the reception. In this case, the couple has decided to make the wedding very private and that they only want their immediate relatives present during the ceremony. The guests are asked to attend on the reception already.


Hence, to avoid confusion and delusion, it is best to carefully state in the invitation the purpose of the invitation.



On the other hand, wedding invitation wordings may also vary depending on certain circumstances that the couple has no control of. An example is the concept of who paid for the wedding.


In this instance, it is best to choose words that would pay respect to the party whom the recognition is due but should also be made in conformity with the ethical standards, in which the feelings of the other party should be considered also.
