Don't abbreviate, know the difference in invitation wording and don't just stuff and mail. Spell out everything on a wedding invitation, the first and the last names. When you input your invitation wording you should include your middle name , even if you do not like it., you spell out the state on the address line also, the only names you do not spell out is Mr. Mrs. Ms. and Jr. those are abbreviated. The wording "the honour of your presence" is always used in a formal and religious wedding ceremony that takes place in a church. When a ceremony takes place outside of a church than you should use the wording, "the pleasure of your company is requested". Use the wording that matches the formality of your event. One good word of advice though, do not follow strict etiquette rules if they will cause hurt feelings among family and friends.
