Or either of the forms A and B for a church wedding may be used. "Honour
of your presence" is more formal than "pleasure of your company" and
hence is more appropriate for a church wedding.

It is presumed that an invitation to a home wedding includes the wedding
breakfast or reception, but an invitation to a church wedding does not.

_For a wedding breakfast_

_Mr. and Mrs. John Evans
Request the Pleasure of_

_At Breakfast on Tuesday, June the Fourth
at Twelve o'Clock
500 Park Avenue_

_For a wedding reception_

_Mr. and Mrs. John Evans
Request the Pleasure of Your Company
At the Wedding Reception of Their Daughter
Dorothy
and
Mr. Philip Brewster
On Monday Afternoon, June the Third
At Four o'Clock
Five Hundred Park Avenue_

_For a second marriage_

The forms followed in a second marriage--either of a widow or a

Dorothy
(Mrs. Philip Brewster)

Mr. Leonard Duncan
On Thursday, April the Third
