Wedding Invitation help

My friend is getting married and her wedding invite wording is...well...not good.

Help me fix it.

BG: She is getting married 1500 miles away from home (where she lives now) People won't be coming-it will be a small wedding hence the wording...I think.

This invite will be on a postcard.

Here it is

Girl Name

  • Although, to be honest, if she's not really inviting people, I'd send an announcement after the fact - not a postcard fake invite.

    I agree with this.

  • I agree with Kate. She needs to do announcements after the fact. not this.

  • And if she insists on doing invitations before, then Kate's wording. Or at the very least not the words "scheduled" and "compelled".

    This.  And if she insists on sending out invites anyway, "scheduled to be married" is the strangest wording I've ever heard.   And similarly weird is her bridal registry information on the invite when she knows fully well most people aren't going to come.  The whole thing is kind of like, "Well, we're getting married.  This invitation is a formality.  If you must come, here is where you can buy our gifts."  What an odd bird. ;-)
