In a prior post, I talked about invitation wording that was composed by a couple.  Now let’s talk about more traditional invitation wording.

In an earlier post, I mentioned several couples who have opted to compose their own wedding invitation wording.  I feel I need to add some clarification to that statement.  Yes, they composed their own  wording, BUT they made sure all of the pertinent information was there, AND it was tastefully worded.   There were no […]
