Friend Marriage Invitation Letter

A friend marriage invitation letter should be designed in such a way that it serves its purpose of inviting your guests to the wedding while making sure that you do not leave out on any important information. Wedding invitation letters are basically different than invitation cards; wedding invitation cards are not personalized and several copies of one common invitation card are sent out to all the guests whereas a wedding invitation letter is addressed to a friend, colleague or a family member in particular.

Your wedding invitation must include all the details about your wedding such as names of the bride and groom, the date, time, the venue and events that have been planned for the wedding ceremony. Take time to mention something significant about your relationship in your marriage invitation letter.

While writing a marriage or an engagement invitation letter to a friend, the point to keep in mind is to stick to one page only and try to be brief while mentioning details about the wedding ceremony. If you have not sent out an invitation card for the friend to whom you are writing the letter, then you may as well attach the card along with your invitation letter and mail it to them or you may draft a wedding invitation card to them first followed by your personalized invitation letter.

Let your excitement and enthusiasm reflect in your invitation, it will only encourage the reader more to attend the wedding ceremony. Include information about the reception ceremony/party as well. Insist the reader to attend the wedding ceremony for it will be an enlivening ceremony if you have a lot of friends present in your wedding. More the number of people, more the amount of happiness and fun.

Dear Dana,

I am pleased to inform you that I'm getting married to Jason on 14th January 2012. Although I sent you an invitation card already, I couldn't be satisfied until I sent you this personal invitation letter as well. The wedding ceremony will take place in our lawn and will commence at 8.45am.

Following our wedding, we will be hosting our reception at the Killearn Country Club & Inn located in Tallahassee, FL on January 15th. Detailed addresses of the venues are mentioned in the invitation card. Brunch will be served between 10am and 2pm followed by non-boring, non-karaoke entertainment later in the evening performed by one of the most renowned instrumental jazz bands - The Portal.

It will be my pleasure to have you as my bridesmaid - you dare deny that!! You definitely know that the ceremony will lack that desired charm without you. Do call me whenever you have time.

Love,

Sharon
