Tips
If you’re writing an invitation for a wedding, be sure to include the phrase “requests the honour of your presence” or “the pleasure of your company” as a general rule of thumb.
Sometimes things come up and you have to cancel an event such as a wedding. When this happens, you want to use the same format and style you used to send out the invitation.
Invitations to weddings and other formal events should always be sent out at least six weeks in advance (sometimes they’re several months).
