Jewish Chuppah Invitation Wording.
The main ceremony invitation — the one everyone receives.
- Who invites
- Both sets of parents invite, named before the couple. Where a parent has died, the convention is to name them with a blessing rather than omit them.
- How it opens
- Be-siman tov u-mazal tov, with the Hebrew date set alongside the civil one
- Register
- Formal, and bilingual as standard — Hebrew and English given equal weight rather than one translating the other.
