Invitation Wording- ANSWERED

Light Haired Girl, on September 5, 2017 at 6:45 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 6

I am ordering my invitation template and need to choose what it says. We are paying for our own wedding so I was thinking:

First liner:

1.)We cordially invite you to attend the wedding of

2.) You are cordially invited to attend the wedding of

Second Liner:

2.) Miranda Wright & Roscoe Herald

3.) Miranda & Roscoe

Third Liner:

1.) On Saturday, February 17th, 2017 at 5:30p.m. at the **** ***** ***** located at ************. Dinner and merriment (or dancing) to follow. Formal Attire Required.

I've attached an image of the layout also. Would ya'll change anything or add anything? Suggestions please!

EDIT UPDATE: Found my answer, thanks ladies!! I also researched and found some articles and blogs on black tie events/formal attire, and figured i'd share my links for others who are curious!

    Are you requesting black tie? People could misunderstand the "formal attire" request.

    @kate I was wondering about this. So my venue doesn't SCREAM formal... it is a chapel, and the reception is a converted modern art gallery. The last wedding I went to had business casual printed on the invite (which I thought was weird,) and guests showed up wearing jeans and button ups... I don't have a wedding website, is there any other way to spread the word?

    I second Amanda's suggestion to include your last names. I know it seems obvious that your guests should know who you are, but might you be inviting friends of your folks whom you haven't seen in a bit? Or work colleagues who only know one of you, and might ask Miranda who, and who's this Roscoe chap? Also, including last names adds to the formality of the invitation.
