How do I invite a close friend to my wedding?
Use their name and tell them why sharing the day with them matters.
Dear [name], our wedding day is getting closer, and we’d love you to be there. Join us for the ceremony, a good meal and a few turns on the dance floor. You’ve shared so many moments with us already; this is another we really want to share with you.
Wedding invitation wording for relatives
A warm family greeting is often enough; the wording doesn’t need to be formal.

A christening invitation for friends and family
Say whether guests are invited to the church service, the celebration afterwards or both.
Dear friends and family, please join us for [child’s name]’s christening. We would love to have you with us for this special family occasion, first at the church service and then for a meal together. Your company will help make it a day we’ll remember with affection.
How to ask someone to be a godparent
This is a request to take on a role, so ask clearly and allow time for an answer.
Dear [name], would you consider becoming [child’s name]’s godparent? We trust you and would love our child to grow up knowing you as someone they can turn to. Before we arrange the christening, we’d like to talk together about what this role would mean to each of us.
The details that make an invitation clear
How do I make an invitation to a friend or relative feel personal?
Start with the greeting you would use in conversation. Add a sentence about why you want them there, then make the invitation clear. If their partner or children are invited too, name them or explain who the invitation includes.
What information should an invitation include?
Include the occasion, names, date, start time and venue address. If the ceremony and celebration are in different places, give the time and address for each. Say how guests should RSVP and by what date.
Can I use a christening invitation to ask someone to be a godparent?
It helps to ask separately and clearly whether they would like to take on the role. Discuss your expectations and give them time to answer. Once they agree, send the invitation with the details for the day.
