Greek Ceremony Invitation Wording

Ashleigh, on July 20, 2016 at 4:03 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 8

Hi Ladies

Some of you may remember me. I got married last October, and I really appreciated having the wisdom and advice you guys gave throughout the planning process. So now I'm coming to you again.

When DH and I got married, we had a non-religious wedding at a vineyard. It was wonderful, and everything I wanted. But I always knew that at some point, it would be important to his family for us to also get married in the Greek Orthodox church. MIL is very religious and doesn't consider us to be married until we are married in the church. So we decided that for our first anniversary, we will have a quiet, casual, family only Greek ceremony, followed by a low key dinner at my parents house.

I already had the big wedding, and I want to make sure that people don't think I'm trying to have a second wedding. I don't want gifts or anyone to make a big deal about it. Do you have any ideas for wording on the invitation to make this clear? Thanks for your help!

    Perhaps you could word the invitation as a "renewal of our vows at X Church" or perhaps "please join us as we bless our marriage at X Church"

    I'm definitely just inviting immediate family, no friends or distant relatives. But for us, it ends up being 20-30 people, so that's a lot for word of mouth. I hadn't thought of just doing it that way, but it is something to consider. Thanks!

    Spazzy nailed it. If she's religious, mention God in there somewhere. "We are affirming our union under God" or something.
