Step 1:
-
Who's Hosting?
-
Everything in the wording of a wedding invitation starts with who is hosting the wedding. The host is the person or persons who are paying for the wedding. It's the host who officially invites the wedding guests.

Step 2:
-
Word The Invitation
-
The bride's parents are footing the bill for the big day, but, in this case, you also want to be polite and mention the groom's parents as well. So if Cheryl Walker is marrying Tim Jones, the invitation would look like this: "Mr. and Mrs. James Walker request the honor of your presence at the marriage of their daughter Cheryl Rae Walker to Mr. Timothy Earle Jones son of Mr. and Mrs. Karl Jones...."
If the bride's stepmother were hosting with the bride's father, "at the marriage of 'her' daughter would be changed to 'his' daughter"

Step 3:
-
Off to the Printer
-
Once you have finished the proper wording for your invitation, all that's left is sending that specific wording to your stationer via e-mail, snail mail, or telephone. From there, the invitations go to the printer.
