What are 10 examples of invitation sentences?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12 · For parents

Short answer

Here are 10 invitation sentences you can adapt. They cover formal, informal, religious and civil ceremonies. Each one leaves space for your names, date, venue and RSVP details.

You can use these sentences as they are, or mix and match to suit your style. For a formal wedding, try: "Together with their families, [Name] and [Name] request the honour of your presence at their marriage." For a relaxed feel: "We're getting married and would love you to celebrate with us." If you are having a civil ceremony: "[Name] and [Name] invite you to join them as they exchange vows at [venue]." For a church wedding: "You are warmly invited to the marriage of [Name] and [Name] at [church]." For a short and sweet option: "Please join us for our wedding on [date]." For a garden or outdoor ceremony: "Come and celebrate with us under the open sky as we say our vows." For a second wedding or older couple: "We are delighted to announce our marriage and invite you to the celebration." For a humanist or belief ceremony in Scotland: "We invite you to share in our humanist wedding ceremony." For a same-sex couple: "We are so happy to announce our wedding and hope you can join us." For a very simple line: "[Name] and [Name] are getting married, and you are invited." Always check with your venue or registrar if you want to include religious wording, as civil ceremonies have rules about content.
