Let me start with this: most of our clients (and myself) have PRETTY standard verse on their wedding invitations. "The Honor of your Presence..." and so on and so forth", but there are some ladies out there who want something with a little more "zip". This includes some people in both of our families and some of our friends (and probably some of you gals reading this). Most of them are very lovely- including, "On this day, I'll marry my best friend" and, well you get the gist.
Today we found some that we REALLY clever, because there was so much realistic subtext for why people would select these verses. Like, for instance this one (I imagine an ultimatum was involved):
or was it the other way around?
However it happened

Wondering just how extreme these less than serious wording options are, we hit the internets and found some EXTREME winners

David "They'll Never Take Me Alive" Jones
gleefully invite you to witness
the eating of their words!
Come for the vows, stay for the gypsy jazz, cocktails and hors d'oeuvres!
These are real wedding postcards that we found on Stella Mars website.
In closing, I thought I'd point out Mayra's personal favorite for her own wedding invites (when that day arrives). We found this on www.metafilter.com and I'm just so happy she's focusing on this instead of her former first choice "Everyone thought it was just a fling......"
Here's her new choice:
A former coworker and his bride did what looked like a formal, engraved wedding invitation. Once you looked at the wording a bit more closely you saw:
Blah blah blah
[groom's name] and [bride's name]
Blah blah blah
[date of wedding]
Blah blah blah
[Location of wedding]
It really *did* say blahblahblah everywhere. Of course, they did do a few traditional wedding invitations for grandparents and the like but I thought the blah ones were hysterical.
