Thankyou,
Julie.

These invitations are normally done in the third person plural:

Mr and Mrs Thomas Kunnathu

request the pleasure of the company of

[name of guest(s)]

at the marriage of their daughter Mariette Anne

to

[name of groom]​

Yes, I understand that these invitations are normally done in the third person plural, but would it be grammatically wrong to word the invitation that way?
Thanks and regards,

It wouldn't be grammatically wrong, no, just unnatural and unusual.

 

[Julierose]

Ok , I get it ;-)

 

[emsr2d2]

OK, I get it. ;-)

Note:

1) It's "OK" or "Okay", but not "Ok".
2) Do not put a space before a comma.
3) End every sentence with a single punctuation mark (a smiley face does not count as a punctuation mark).

A formal wedding invitation (which is what you asked about) is pretty much set in stone in English-speaking countries.

This is a correct way for a formal invitation, but is it not very simple? you can add one or two more respective lines including vane and programs.

Vane? Did you mean "venue"?

Of course there is more information on a wedding invitation, but not much more - usually simply the place and the time and then "RSVP" at the bottom, making it clear that you need to reply to let them know if you're coming. If you go back to post #2 and click on the link provided, you will see lots of example invitation wordings.

hello,
yes of course that is "venue". These patterns are good illustrated. Thanks for shearing.
