These days we belive that etiquette should be just a guide to help you with your wedding invitation wording and details. The wording you ultimately choose should fit with your wedding style and your personality, without following out dated rules and conventions.
Whether your wedding is formal or informal, the code of your wedding invitations conveys to your guests the significance of the event.
The wedding invitation is the first formal notice people will receive about your wedding.
Below, we have put together a few examples of wedding invitation wording, that may be adjusted, to suit the formality of the wedding and the sentiments and style of the couple.

WISHING WELL WORDING
WW1
We're dreaming of a honeymoon
and we hope our dreams come true...
if you help us fund our trip
we'd be so grateful to you!
(Bride & Groom)
WW2
They have their dishes and towels for two
They have pots and pans and oven mitts too
So what do you get for the Bride & Groom
Whose house is setup in every room?
Their house needs repairs and some upgrades too
But you can not register for carpet and glue.
A well that holds wishes is the way to go
So lets make it easy for all that know.
An envelope will be provided for those who have room,
To give a monetary wish to the Bride and Groom
A wishing well will be on display at the reception hall
To attach your wishes, for the couple, with love from all.
WW3
Soon you will hear our wedding bell,
As Friends and family wish us well.
Our household thoughts are not brand new,
We have twice the things we need for two.
Since we have our share of dishes and bedding,
We're having instead a wishing well wedding.
But more important we ask of you,
your prayers of love and blessings too!
WW4
Our home is quite complete now,
we've been together long,
so please consider our request and do not take us wrong.
A delicate request it is, we hope you understand.
Please play along as it will give our married life a hand.
The tradition of the wishing well is one that's known by all.
Go to the well, toss in a coin and as the coin does fall,
Make a wish upon that coin and careful as you do.
Cause as the well's tradition goes your wishes will come true.
So on this special day of ours, the day that we'll be wed.
Don't hunt for special gifts but give money in it's stead.
And as you drop the envelope with money great and small,
Remember, make your wish as you watch your money fall.
WW5
To save you looking, shopping or buying.
Here is an idea, we hope you like trying.
Come to our wedding, to wish us both well.
And bring this small sack, to throw in our wishing well.
Fill it with paper all colours will do, gold is our favourite but silver will do.
Now that we have saved you, all of that fuss.
We hope you will come, and celebrate with us.
