Anyone sending out spanish invites?

I like the first one. And I'm sending spanish invitations to some of my family and using something along those lines.

I go for 1 too.... I was going to send out both English and spanish but just decided on english... since the names, location, date and time doesnt change lol =) but thats just me.... and also because i kept having trouble finding a spanish one i liked lol. since i like being different lol

I don't know, the wording feels kinda awkward for me, although it's been years since I saw a spanish wedding invitation.

Great, thanks Mrs In Sept! I wanted to add something kind of religious too, but I just can't find words.

I'm thinking the same thing too. I don't know what to add to it. but I like the wording of the first. I don't know if maybe to add a religious quote in spanish.

We are sending Spanish and English invites too (get ready for some organization skills getting some use lol). We used something along the lines of (sorry dont have the exact invitation in front of me)

Porque usted ha compartido en nuestra vidas con su amistad y amor..... Juntos con nuestra familias

we didnt put parents names (its complicated and we are paying for our own wedding).

Yes, I have seen many invites in English that have some nice wording... for example, I really like this, but is it translated correctly?

Two lives united in friendship,

Two friends united in love,

One love united in Christ.

Dos vidas unidas en Amistad,

Dos amistades unidos en Amor,

Un Amor unidos en Cristo.

Thanks Summer, that's also a really great idea. The parents' names are also something I thought about. We are paying for about 90% of the wedding costs, and getting help from our families for the rest. I really wanted to include my dad since he passed away, but also wanted them to feel included...

Just a couple of suggestions, grammar related, not really content related:

In Spanish, capitalization rules are different. We don't capitalize days of the week (sábado), and we also don't capitalize formal event names like "ceremonia religiosa."

The phrase "tienen el honor de invitarle" is a direct translation from English. It's not grammatically correct in Spanish.

"que se llevara al cabo" is also superfluous. You can do without that phrase.

Be careful with the phrase "les invitan" (it is only grammatically correct if the invitation is for more than one person (i.e. The Jones family) not appropriate for Mr Edward Jones.

Good luck! (I mean, buena suerte!)

Thank you soooo much!! My grammar is horrible in Spanish. The original wording I stole this from had sabado uncapitalized also, but I changed it. As for the rest, I will definitely keep it all in mind!

5 examples on here... but it looks like you might have it covered already

I will post the whole thing when I get home so you can see the exact wording. We are including the parents in our program and with reserved seats.

Thanks Hayley, that is the same website I looked at. And Unique, I am thinking about combining them somehow. I liked the first, but I also liked some of the wording on the second... but still I feel something is off.

Summer, thanks so much, that would be greatly appreciated!!

Here is our spanish version:

Porque usted ha compartido en nuestras vidas

por su amistad y amor, nosotros

Summer Gonzalez

y

Gerardo Palacios

Juntos con nuestras familias, nos complace invitarle a compartir

el principo de nuestra nueva vida juntos

cuando cambiemos votos de matrimonio

el sabado, cinco de noviembre, del ano dos mil once

a las cuatro de la tarde

glendale christian church

(address)

hope that helps

Thanks so much Summer, it helps a lot! I am going to finalize the wording on my invites tomorrow, and your help has been great! There are so many things a fresh pair of eyes can see! Thanks again.

Dos vidas unidas en Amistad,

Dos amistades unidos en Amor,

Un Amor unidos en Cristo

If you use this just change the Amistad to amistad and Amor to amor, you dont need to use caps.

Sabado has an accent on the first a. And dia on the i.
