Examples of Wording
Wording: Names should always be written out. Initials should not be used on a formal invitation unless the intial is actually someone’s legal name (i.e. JD Johnson.) Abbreviations are only used for the following titles: Dr., Mr., Mrs., Ms., Jr., and Lt. if combined with Colonel. The date and time are also written out. If the year is included, it should be written out.

For an example of invitiation wording etiquette, select the individuals that will be issuing your announcements:

Temple Ceremony Invitation
Since the sealing rooms in the temple do not generally hold more than 50 people, you will have a limited number of people you can invite to the actual temple ceremony. Often, the easiest and most inexpensive way to let family and friends know that they are invited to the ceremony is to have an enclosure card in your invitation. See example:

When sending these invitations, be careful to make sure that the number of invitees matches the capacity of the sealing room.

The honor of your
presence is requested
at the wedding ceremony
in the Washington D.C. Temple
on Saturday
the eighth day of August
at eight-forty in the morning.
Please arrive one half hour early. (more…)
