Middle name on invitations

It really depends on the formality of your wedding. Ours is semi-formal so we included our middle names. But if you're really concerned about it then a middle initial should suffice. Just be sure to do the same for your hubby to balance it out.

Awww I'm sure it isnt that bad.
But, I understand... I cringe when I hear my nickname.

I think the initials will be ok on the invitation, but I think the Officiant should use both full names in the ceremony.

I've seen invitations without any sort of middle names. I think you'd be fine to skip them.

Honestly I don’t think people pay attention to that. We didn’t use middle names on ours, just initials and I don’t think people who have noticed if those were missing either. Do whatever makes you comfortable.

I think it’s totally fine. I didn’t put my last name on our invitations (my parents weren’t married & my mom’s maiden name is my last name & not my dad’s last name, so it’s a bit of a contentious point in my family).

I didn't put ours on anything. I don't think you need to put it on the invites. You'd need to ask the officiant.

We didn’t include middle names on ours, and I don’t see an issue with it.

Use the name you prefer, with or without middle names. For nicknames, usually ones derived from your name are acceptable, like Mike for Michael, Sue for Susan. Not ones like Butch when name is Warren, or Buffy for Brenda. The most formal weddings used to always use the legal formal name. But that is from days when marriage banns were published, or read in church, and had to be correct to legally, or by church or gov policy, advertise who was getting married. These days you present ID for a license, marriage banns are not posted or kept on record anywhere. Determination of whether or not you are legally free to marry, or have to have the permission of a guardian or other person due to mental incompetence, are checked by computer by the licensing authorities. So the invitation is now only an internal one, host to guest, not reviewed for any legal fuction. Using a full legal name is no longer necessary. And etiquette is not designed to keep alive unnecessary procedures. The only thing that matters is that it be in keeping with the formality of the wedding. Even if you are using an informal name like Lisabeth, for Elizabeth, you would not put in little hearts for the dot of the i, except on something super casual. And of course, people need to be able to figure who is getting married. People may know multiple people who go by Junior Anderson, or Johnson. Need to see the name, Bob Jr. or Frank Jr. . . .

We just used our middle initials for our invitations.
