Wedding Invitation Wording | Some common questions about proper spelling

How to use proper wedding etiquette in wording wedding invitations

Some more common questions we receive about wedding invitation wording is regarding the spelling of the words honour (or honor) and favour (or favor). What is correct and proper?

While most brides prefer honour, either is correct. It is a matter
of preference. The most important thing to remember is consistency. If
you use honour, then use favour if that word is used on your reply
card. Similarly, if you use honor, then use favor.

Another question has to do with the proper way to handle the designation "junior" in wedding invitations. Can it be abbreviated or should it be spelled out?

Properly, “junior” is spelled out with a lower case “j” but “Jr.”
is acceptable as an abbreviation even though it is less formal.
Sometimes it is necessary with a long name.
