is there a certain way to ask or invitation to invite someone to be in your wedding?

I think you're talking about how to ask your Bridesmaids and Groomsmen? Ask them in private, one on one, if they'll do you the great favour of standing up with you at the wedding...it is a great honour to be asked to be in a friend's wedding party but it's also a big obligation of time and money, so if they have to say no because they can't afford it or whatever, they should be able to do that in private not in front of others.\nGood luck.

Absolutely not! It's a big etiquette faux-pas and considered gift-grabby. Whether you write it on the invitation or use a card to put with the invitation, it's tacky and a big no-no. Registration information should only be provided when requested by a guest, and only then. \nPeople are smart enough to know that they can ask for the information. \n\nIf you have other etiquette related questions I recommend the site http://www.etiquettehell.com\n\nThey have a forum where people will answer any and all questions.

Wedding ettiquette dictates that you should send seperate invitations to the attendants families because it is considered rude to simply "pass on" the invite by word of mouth via an attendant who, due to invariably being a close friend, will be asked personally and actually not receive a written invite.

From an etiquette point of view, it is not allowed to ask for anything other than the presence of the invitee. If you can't afford the party, you should downsize it, maybe just rent a waterslide.\n\nYou can, of course, go through the guests' pockets which they will conveniently leave somewhere, but as Nixon once said, that would be wrong.

You bet you do. You call with the polite assumption that they did not receive your invitation. After all, that's the only possible explanation for not honoring your request to RSVP, right? Your friends wouldn't be rude to you, would they? But seriously ... \n\nDo call. In fact, call even those who DID honor your RSVP to "confirm" your guest list. This is your golden opportunity to prevent problems on your big day. What kind of problems? Uninvited people showing up, such as guests bringing guests of their own or small children. (If you use vague terms like "and family" or "and guest" on your invitiations, you have only yourself to blame for this.)\n\nBy The Big Day, you should have only two lists: those who WILL be attending and those who WILL NOT. There is no "maybe" list for such an important event. Make this clear during your RSVP calls and do not be bullied into accomodating unexpected arrivals.

Guests should never be  Required to bring anything.\nYou are invited presumably because your Host likes you. \n\netiquette says you should send or bring a gift if invited to the Wedding  or the bridal shower.   \n\nIf  this is the first public event after the wedding. It would be nice if you brought a gift  but its not required.

Unfortunately, there is absolutely no polite or acceptable way of asking for money for a wedding gift!\n\nIf breaking eitquette doesn't bother you, just say, "Cash gifts only." That ought to do it.

The usual invite is worded as follows:\n\nMr. and Mrs.  James Michael Kunkle\nrequest the honour of your presence\nat the Wedding Mass at which their daughter\nAmy Elizabeth Vadnais\nand\nMr. William Michael Pratt\nwill be united in the Sacrament of Marriage\non Saturday, the eighth of December \nTwo Thousand and Seven\nat five o’clock\nSaint Andrew’s Catholic Church\nCentreville, Virginia\n\n\nThe reception card looks like this:\n\nDinner Reception\nfollowing the ceremony\nHilton McLean Tyson’s Corner\n7920 Jones Branch Drive\nMcLean, Virginia\n\n\nThere are variations for a church ceremony as opposed to an outdoor ceremony and a ceremony with a mass...it is also different depending on who is hosting the event. These are very general.

Tell that person to go and find another co-worker to work for them... or no-can-do... they should have put in their request earlier... it is a wedding... and those invitations always come early.

Tell them exactly that - That you are having a very small intimate wedding and unfortunately you can't invite everyone, you don't have to go into details as to why if you don't want to - untimately it's your day!  Easier said than done I know - Im struggling with the exact same for my wedding. But your friends will appreciate hearing this from you rather than someone else. If they are true friends they will understand.

It's her wedding, so it is up to her discretion who she invites.  You have to decide how you want to handle this.  You can either attend the wedding single, or decline since you can't bring the escort of your choice.

If you are only having a ceremony then you should only be sending out an invite for a ceremony. Usually if the couple is having a reception, they will send a reception card in the envelope with the invite for the ceremony. There is no need to put it on the program. If people didn't get an invite to the reception, they'll get the picture.

No. You must be personally invited or be the guest of one who was invited.
