There are certain things to be mindful of when it comes to wedding invitation etiquette in regards to proper wording and spelling.

• Punctuation use within a wedding invitation verse is not always typical since periods do not appear at the end of sentences but only after title abbreviations such as Mr. and Mrs.

  Commas appear between day and date and also city and state. They are also allowed within sentences when necessary.

• The first word of a sentence is capitalized even though sentences do not end in punctuation. Not every verse line will start with a capital letter since sentences sometimes continue to more than one line.
• All proper names, title abbreviations, days of the week, months, and years are capitalized.
• Dates, years and times are spelled out instead of listing them as numbers.
  • Saturday, the third of January
  • Two thousand and ten
  • at two o’clock in the afternoon

  Numbers are acceptable when listed as part of a street address (10 Main Street).

• There are many ways to word the line that actually extends the invitation to guests but if the word ‘honor’ is used it is most commonly spelled as ‘honour’ to be more formal – ‘request the honour of your presence’.
• Words, such as ‘Street’, contained in address lines are never abbreviated. Even the state name is written out completely.
