Invitation Wording for a Marriage Blessing<\/h1>\n

What is the correct invitation wording for a couple married 5.5 years who are having a church blessing and hosting it themselves. Also, what kind of insertions are appropriate? Can a reception card, and a response card and envelope be included? Is an inner envelope necessary?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Etiquette Now<\/h4>\n

This isn’t a wedding and shouldn’t appear to be. So, you wouldn’t be as formal with your invitations as you would be with a wedding by using enclosures or inner envelopes. It isn’t a reception; it is a party, an anniversary party, or a party to celebrate the blessing of your marriage. So, a reception invitation isn’t necessary. You don’t even need a response card.<\/p>\n

It really shouldn’t involve many guests, as a blessing of your marriage is more about the church blessing your vows or marriage. It is usually just family and a few close friends.\u00a0This is an example of the typical, formal invitation.<\/a><\/p>\n

For an informal event, your invitation can be informal language.<\/p>\n
