You are engaged and ready to make those wedding plans. You are getting your list together and ideas for your wedding and reception are coming together. You have decided this will be an informal wedding. So what is the proper informal wedding invitation wording?
Since you have chosen an informal wedding, you can relax on this. Although the formal announcements have specific guidelines the informal in not as defined.
You can put your parents first names on you invitation. Using Susan and Tom Baker is correct. In informal wedding invitations, many times the couples names are first and both sets of parents are listed at the bottom.
An example would be:
We are walking one path and will be united
Vows will be shared and you are invited
Emily Sue Jones
and
Thomas James Smith

If you put the parents names on the invitation there are some guidelines you can take.The first thing to remember is that first names are used. A married couple will have the woman's name first. This allows the mans name and surname to remain together. If your parents are divorced, your mothers name is first. You can add step parents names if you feel comfortable with it. Many times just and parents can be used and the names omitted.
When using informal wedding invitation wording, you have much more leeway. You can use names, write out dates. This leaves less room for error. You can put the reception information on your invitation also. Having such a relaxed environment allows for more freedom. You must realize that as you make these change you will have a less ordered wedding and reception. For some this is good for others it may pose a problem.
Your wedding invitations are a big part in setting the mood of your big day. You should decide what type of wedding you want when you pick out your wedding invitations. You will also address your invitations less formal. This means that informal wedding invitation wording goes to the envelope addressing also. You will use first names here also. Don't go informal with your invites and then address to Mr. and Mrs. so and so. This will make an undecided idea for your guests. Keep them uniform.
There are many ways you can word your wedding cards. Some will be informal and some will be very formal. Make your decision knowing what the end result will mean for your wedding day.
