As for a formal wedding template, there are some rules of wording
that are appropriate:
1. Spell out every word, even the date and year. Street, not St.
Road, not Rd.
2. Use Roman numerals in titles, such as David Kenneth Williams
III. Do not use "3rd" or "third".
3. For weddings in a church, say "request the honour of your
presence". For non-religious weddings, say "request the pleasure
of your company".
4. Write out full names. Do not use initials.
You can copy and paste this template onto your word processor for
easy guidance:
(the name of brides parents/parent)
request the honour of your presence
at the marriage of their daughter
(the name of bride)
to
(the name of groom)
on (weekday name),
the (day of month, spelled out) of (month)
at (time, spelled out) oclock
(name of church or building)
(address of church/building)
(city, state of ceremony)
Optional:
Reception Immediately Following
At
(name of location)
Directions to the reception hall can be given at the wedding or
on a separate card in the invitation envelope.
