One of the first official steps in the wedding planning process is the wedding invitation.

There is a protocol with Cairns wedding invitations, depending on the formality of the occasion.

Deciding how to word and arrange a wedding invitation can be a task which requires tact and diplomacy – particularly as it’s so important to get it right.

For non-traditional Cairns weddings it pays to do some research before finalising the wording to find an invitation that best suits your situation.

Frequently asked questions about writing Cairns wedding invitations ...
Q: Who should send the wedding invitations? Should the other family be mentioned?
A: The family that hosts or pays for the wedding normally sends the invitations. You can mention the other family, if desired, by inserting, for example, “son of Mr and Mrs Jason Brier” after the groom’s name or “daughter of Mr and Mrs Steve Ridel” after the bride’s name if the groom’s parents are hosting the wedding.

Q: Should the name of a deceased parent be included in an invitation?
A: No. The invitation should only be from the person who is hosting the wedding.

Q: What if both parents contribute to the wedding expenses?
A: In this case, it is quite acceptable to include both sets of parents starting with the bride’s parents followed by the groom’s.
