So, whether it's a funny invitation for friends, or a traditional Marathi invitation, or a Christian wedding, you need to choose the matter right. Let us give you some insight into framing the perfect Christian wedding invitation this time on the basis of your wedding nature. Destination wedding, Church wedding, thematic or minimalist...we've covered it all. Know all about framing Christian invitations creatively.

1. For a Traditional Church Wedding

If you're having a Catholic church wedding for yourself, your wedding card invitation matter needs to follow a certain format and style. However, that doesn't necessarily mean you can't get creative! You could use a wedding quote or a poem to start with. For a Christian wedding card invitation matter, especially at church, the Host line is the distinguishing factor as it mentions religious phrases like "By the grace of Almighty" or "With the joy of our Lord". Also, the venue of the wedding is a church but the reception or the party could be someplace else. Make sure you mention that in your card. Here are a few examples:

"Desiring God's will for their lives and believing that includes each other Shubha Mathews and Hari Rogers together with their parents invite you to share their joy as they are united in the Lord Jesus Christ on Saturday, 23rd of June, 2019 at 1:00 PM Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary at St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Church, Malayattoor Rd, Ernakulam, Kerala

 Reception dinner at: "VENUE"

So how about mentioning all of these in a destination wedding theme? Use funny phrases, popular movie quotes or something that comes naturally to you. Give your guests the idea of how much they're going to have fun at your wedding. Here are a few ideas:

While framing the formal invitations, there are five details that you must include on a Christian wedding invitation card matter:

1. The Host Line: This is the first line of the invitation in which you mention who is hosting the wedding. For example, if it's the parents of the bride then it goes like, " Mrs Vanessa Smith and Mr George Smith would like to..." Or if it's the couple who's hosting then the invitation would begin with, "Riya and Alfred request you..."
2. The Invitation Line: This is the line where you actually invite your guests. However, depending on the nature of your wedding, this line varies. For example, if it's a traditional invitation the line would go like "We request you to honour us with your presence..." But f it's a casual invite for friends the invitation line can go like "We want you to be there for a grand party..."
3. The Names: The names of the couple comes here.
4. The Action Line: This is where you mention the action what you're inviting the guests for. For example, "to celebrate our daughter's wedding..." or "to be a part of our celebration of love..."
5. The Party Line: Get creative with the party line because here you mention the events that follow the wedding. Example, "Join us for dinner and dancing immediately after the wedding..." or "Stay at the venue for live music, cake and lots of dancing..."

Traditional or contemporary, your wedding card invitation matter should be honest, clear, and from the heart. That's what always works. Make your guests feel they're wanted and are important people in your life. You can also try personalised invitation messages for relatives, friends and colleagues in three different categories.
