Short answer
Mr and Mrs [Grandparents' Names] request the honour of your presence at the marriage of their grandchild [Couple Name] to [Partner Name] on [date] at [venue].
When grandparents are hosting, the traditional wording puts their names at the top: "Mr and Mrs [Grandparents' Names] request the honour of your presence at the marriage of their granddaughter [Couple Name] to [Partner Name] on [date] at [time] at [venue]." If both sets of grandparents are hosting together, write: "Mr and Mrs [Grandparents' Names] and Mr and Mrs [Grandparents' Names] request..." You can also use "grandson" or "grandchild" depending on your family. If the couple's parents are also involved, you might say: "Together with their parents, Mr and Mrs [Grandparents' Names] request..." This keeps the grandparents as the main hosts while acknowledging the parents. For a less formal option, write: "[Grandparents' Names] invite you to celebrate the wedding of their grandchild [Couple Name] and [Partner Name]..." Remember that "request the honour of your presence" is traditional for religious ceremonies, while "request the pleasure of your company" works for any ceremony. Always include the full date, time and venue. If grandparents are older or less familiar with modern wording, keep it classic and clear.
