Traditionally wording wedding invitation would have the bride’s parents as the hosts, usually because they would be paying for the wedding & as such the wedding invitations would be from them. But in modern times many couples will pay for the wedding themselves or jointly with either one or both sets of parents. There is also the matter of complicated family situations where parents are divorced, re-married, separated etc. Little wonder that these days choosing the right wording for your invitation can be something of a headache!
When choosing the wording for their invitations many brides will stick to a traditional template, making some adjustments to allow for family situations at the wedding. Here are a few templates you could consider for your invitation wording:
Traditional template (bride’s parents as hosts)
Mr & Mrs John Davis request the pleasure of your company
(or insert name of guest/s here if you haven’t written it in the top left hand corner of the invite)
at the marriage of their daughter Jennifer
to
Mr Mark Jones
at
The Village Church
On 5th August 2009
And afterwards at
The Village Hall
Replace with the following wording, if the hosts differ:
Bridal couple as hosts
Miss Jennifer Davis & Mr Mark Jones request the pleasure of…………at their marriage
Divorced parents as hosts
Mr John Davis & Mrs Liz Davis request the pleasure of………..at the marriage of their daughter Jennifer.
Remarried mother/father as host
Mr & Mrs Paul Morgan/ Mr & Mrs John Davis request the pleasure of…………
At the marriage of her/his daughter Jennifer
Widowed mother as host
Mrs John Davis requests the pleasure of………. at the marriage of her daughter Jennifer

Wedding invitation wording really just comes down to who's paying. ... I vote for straightforward wording, with maybe one little piece of flair tossed in.
Once upon a time, there wasn't much variation in wedding invitations. Since the bride's parents were paying for everything, wedding invitations always read that they requested the honor of your presence at the marriage of their daughter.
