Catholic Wedding question

[Acceptance]

Hi everyone, I haven't been on OBOB in sooooo long, I can't believe how much the layout has changed!

Anyhoo, I'm getting married this summer, and we're looking for a good way to word the invitation that would include the point that the ceremony will also be a Mass. The best I was able to come up with thus far is:

Mr. and Mrs. John Smithe​

request the honour of your presence
at a Mass celebrating the
marriage of their daughter
Jane Marie​

to​

Mark John Doe
on Friday the thirtieth of June
two thousand and six
at four o'clock in the evening
Saint Francis Xavier Catholic Church
On the corners of Road and Avenue
My town, Illinois​

Does anyone have any other suggestions or anything they used that they were particularly fond of??

Thanks guys

Congratulations Acceptance, it has been a long time.

I think it looks great. My motto is the simpler the better. Looks good. Though you could word it in a way that defines it the sacrament of marriage. That might be a little wordier, but it would be good too.

Good to see you and congrats again.

Can you make it simply the "Wedding Mass of" or "Nuptial Mass of"

Based on what I saw when we got married, it would usually be referred to as a Nuptial Mass if you're having the full mass. We just had a Liturgy of the Word, as neither DH nor his family is Catholic, so I think we just said "ceremony" on ours.

If it is to be held in IL I'd suggest "honor" instead of "honour" as we are in 'mmmmmmerica.

Congrats.

Thanks for the ideas guys.

Hi, Acceptance! It's great to see you again, and many blessings on your upcoming marriage!

The invitation looks good to me, too. I like the idea of changing the words 'at a Mass' to 'at the Nuptial Mass'.


Peace be with you!
