Simple Tips to Plan an Earth-Friendly, Socially Responsible, Affordable Green Wedding

You’ve decided to have a garden – beach – or other outdoor theme wedding. How do you word the wedding invitations? This type of wedding is casual… so the invitations should be casual in format as well. Not… cheesy or cheap… but the wording may invoke a more casual atmosphere.

Keep the wedding invitations with traditional wording… just add something personal before the invitation wording or on the inside covers.

How to Plan Your Own Wedding and Save Thousands:

Without Going Crazy

The casual home wedding is one to which only the immediate family and close friends are invited. These “quiet” weddings generally take place when there has been a recent death in the family, or merely from a preference for a small affair.

Casual wedding invitation wording can be quite a bit different from formal invitations.

For these, a short note is written generally by the bride-elect.
Note that the invitations speak of “marriage” while the replies say “wedding.” Marriage is the act of marrying, while wedding is the marriage ceremony. It is a very fine thread that denotes the distinction; nevertheless it is marked.

For the usual home marriage, invitations, which read as follows, may be sent:

“Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Brown request the pleasure of Mr. and Mrs. Smiths company at the marriage of their daughter on the afternoon of Wednesday, the thirteenth of October, at four o clock, at One hundred and forty-four Madison Square, Boston.”
