Military wedding invitations follow the same general guidelines used for civilian weddings. The main difference is in the use of titles. The bride’s/groom’s rank and service, and that of any of their parents, is included. Traditionally, brides who are members of the military have not used their titles on the invitations, but you absolutely can and should if you want to! Here are the basics and some examples.
