Invitation help: name and spelling issues

And lastly: I noticed our printer wrote “request the HONOUR of your presence,” but I was under the impression that the British spelling is reserved for invitations including a place of worship. It’s a formal wedding with a formal invitation, but we're getting married at the venue, so should it be “honor” or something else instead?

To answer your last question, "pleasure of your company" is the traditional wording for a wedding that is not in a place of worship

We said [my parents] request your presence at the wedding of their daughter [my first and middle name] to [FH first and middle names and last name] son of [in law names].

My FH has 2 middle names. So I see where your FH is coming from. You can play around with font and size. Honestly it's not a deal to have it or drop it. These days invitations can be as casual or formal as you want!

I actually only put my name "Amanda [Middlename]" and then put "Husband [Lastname]". I didn't realize it until they were printed that I forgot to add his middle name in. I don't know if anyone besides a few people noticed it. In the end, most invitations are tossed. You/FH and your parents are probably the only ones who will scrutinize the invitation so carefully or remember the specific wording used

Cabo is correct.

Re: names. I say, if you want your full name, put it. We don't use our full names on a day-to-day basis, and we put it on the invitations. As far as the "look", it will be fine.

I would be more worried about a guy telling me what name I should use, forget about the invitations. There are many examples with middle names.

Thank you all for the help so far. I like my middle name and am still planning on using it on the invitations. No one calls me by it but I like using it on formal occasions. FH was just bothered by it for some reason and seemed to think it was unusual to include it, but I tried to explain that it's actually standard practice on invitations.

Ok I know I'm totally overthinking this but I'm still a little unsure so this is how it currently reads:

Mr and Mrs [my parents' names]

Request the honour of your presence at the marriage of their daughter

Juliet Elise

To

John

Son of Mr and Mrs [FH's parents' names]

I now know I need to ask them to change the request line to "pleasure of your company," but should the groom's last name be included with his first name? The printer said not to because we're including his parents names under his and his last name will be written there. I don't want to be redundant but I also want it to look right.

And should we add "junior" to the groom's line because he's technically a jr.? Or is just the first name fine?

I would use your first and middle, his full including the Jr. and then his parents' names. You can leave his parents' names off. It will balance it.

I'm not sure about jr/sr. but I would just do your first middle and FH first last.

I agree, I would do his full name.

Mr. and Mrs. William Jones

John Smith, junior

son of Mr. and Mrs. John Smith

ETA: traditionally, you didn't include the groom's parents names on the invitation (because the thought was everyone you were inviting probably knew you both already and so already knew who his parents were), and it was actually customary to include the honorific on the groom's name, so Mr. John Smith, junior.
