Wedding Invitations

Who is supposed to be sending the wedding invitations and doing the
inviting, the parents of the bride or the bride and groom themselves?

Well, that depends. Although it is most proper and what is seen the
most often is for the parents of the bride to issue the wedding
invitations for their daughter. However there are times when the bride
and groom issue the invitations themselves.

This may happen if the
bride’s parents are deceased, but we are seeing even more of it today
in the case of second marriages for the bride or if they simply are
older and well established in their jobs and would prefer to just host
the wedding themselves. Usually the invitation line is eliminated
in that case, however the bride and groom can include their names as the hosts.
