Wording is the part almost every couple gets stuck on. Who's named first. Whether to say "request the honour of your presence" or something warmer. What to do when parents are divorced, remarried, or not hosting at all. There's no single right answer, but there are well-established patterns for every situation, and once you see a few examples that match your own, the wording almost writes itself.

This free guide gives you that starting point, organized by the situation you're actually in.
