For the home wedding, invitations are engraved as for the church wedding invitation wording, but for the phrase "request the honor of your presence" the phrase "request the pleasure of your company" is substituted, though "honor" may be used in place of "pleasure" if one prefers.
As in the case of the church wedding invitation wording, a space may be left for the name of the guest to be filled in, or the form that follows may be used:

Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Wright
request the pleasure of your company
at the marriage of their daughter
Mary Kate
and
Mr. Martin Smith
On Wednesday afternoon, July the second
at three o'clock
195 East Main Street

---

Sometimes, either because of convenience or personal preference, arrangements are made to have a wedding take place at the home of a friend or relative. The following wording is suggested as the correct form for the invitation:

The pleasure of your company is requested
at the marriage of
Miss Karissa Lea Whitcomb
to
Mr. Bradley Harding
on Tuesday, the sixth of August
at eleven o'clock
at the residence of
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Nicastro
Nineteen Elwell Street

---

When the wedding takes place in the country, or a guest at a great distance is invited, a small card like the one following is generally included:

Train leaves North Station
for Gloucester at 10:48 A.M.
Returning train leaves Gloucester
for Boston at 7:18 P.M.

Wealthy people often place a special train at the disposal of special city friends whose presence is eagerly desired at the wedding. A card, like the one following, is enclosed with the invitation, and it serves as a pass, entitling the bearer to a seat in the reserved train. Here is the form most generally used:

The special train leaves
North Station for Gloucester
at 10:48 A.M.
Leaves Gloucester for North Station
at 7:18 P.M.
Please present this card at station door
