Invitation

If we are getting married with only close family members and friends in an intimate wedding, how our names should be in the invitation? Is our first names enough? When to use full names and when is appropriate to use only our first names?

    We are inviting a little over 100 guests of family and friends and our invitation has both our first and middle names, no last names. So it says "You are invited to the wedding of First Middle and First Middle". And then all of the wedding information.

    There is really no correct way to do it. But I would not just put your first name. I have never seen that. The most common way is first and middle name or first and last name. When designing your invitation, your invitation designer, or if you are using a website, you should be prompted on what to put.

    I think it's fine to use first names only on the invitation as long as the return address has first and last names.

    Hey Sheila! If you wedding is intimate with a small guest list, I think it would be okay to just have your first names. As Caytlyn said, as long as you include your full names on your return address it should be fine. If you are only inviting immediate family and close friends, I don’t think there will be much confusion!
