\"Stylish<\/a>When writing military wedding invitations<\/a>, many of the same etiquette rules apply as in general or non-military weddings. The difference however, is in the use of military titles. While some brides who are in the military choose to omit mention of military titles in their wedding invitation wording, it is also perfectly acceptable to include her military title in the military invitation wording. In a military wedding the bride\/groom’s rank and service is used as well as that of their parents. For enlisted military personnel, rank is omitted. Military titles should also never be abbreviated.<\/p>\n

For brides and grooms who are members of the armed forces, the following formats apply for military wedding invitation wording.<\/p>\n
