Check out the following tips and sample invites to make the process waaaaay easier on yourself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Invite Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Spell out words such as avenue, doctor and junior. If you&#8217;re short on space and dealing with long names, use abbreviations, but otherwise spell everything out.<\/li>\n<li>Spell out middle names. If you are once again short on space, remove the middle name completely.<\/li>\n<li>Write out dates and times, such as &#8220;the fifth of July.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Use &#8220;honor of your presence&#8221; if having your ceremony in a religious house. If not, use &#8220;pleasure of your company.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Give the word &#8220;and&#8221; its own separate line when using it to join bride and groom names.<\/li>\n<li>Use the word &#8220;Miss&#8221; or &#8220;Ms.&#8221; only if desired.<\/li>\n<li>Placing the parents&#8217; names on the invite? Use the bride&#8217;s last name only if her last name is different from her parents.<\/li>\n<li>Use the words &#8220;to&#8221; and &#8220;and&#8221; based on personal
