Your invitations should tell your guests what they are invited to, who the wedding is for,when it is, and where the ceremony and reception will be held. Be sure to include a map or directions for out-of-town guests.
Although these are traditional examples of wedding invitation wording, you can always adjust it to allow for divorced or remarried parents, as well as fitting your own personal theme or style.
Here are samples of what an invitation usually looks like, depending upon who is hosting the event:
