Wedding Invitations

When composing your wedding invitations, the day of the week as well as the date are to be written out in
full. No abbreviations or numerals are to be used. The day of the week
comes first, followed by the date of the month and the month itself,
(for example: Saturday, the tenth of October). The word “on” is not
necessary and often makes the line too long. You can include the time
of day if you like (i.e.: Saturday evening) although it is not
necessary. By the way, afternoon begins at twelve noon and evening
begins at six o’clock.

Invitations for weddings that are going to be held at eight, nine
or ten o’clock should probably designate morning or evening and this is
why. Many Roman Catholic Weddings are held at those times in the
mornings because most Nuptial Masses are held before noon, while some
Jewish weddings are held at those times after sundown. The time of day then can be noted on the time line instead of
the date line.
