When you come from two faiths

An interfaith card is read by both sides of the family, so lead with what you share: the marriage and the two families. Name both traditions in one line if you like, and keep anything only one side would understand for the ceremony itself.

Mr and Mrs Vikram Rao

Mr and Mrs Paul Moreau
request the pleasure of your company
at the marriage of their children
Priya & Etienne
Saturday, the twelfth of June
at three o’clock

Both families host, one per line, in words neither tradition owns. Most interfaith ceremonies are not held in a house of worship, so “pleasure” is the form.

Both faiths get a place on the card without either being named first. Guests from each side read it as theirs.

Says what makes the day different, and the full stop says it is settled.

What people ask

Should the invitation name both religions?: It can, but it does not have to. “In the traditions of both their families” says it without asking guests to know either one. Your website can explain the rest.
Is it “honour of your presence” or “pleasure of your company”?: “Honour” if the ceremony is in a house of worship, “pleasure” anywhere else. A hotel, a garden or a hall takes “pleasure”.
Where do we explain the customs?: On your website: a short paragraph on what will happen and why, so guests from either side can follow along. Guests who know neither tradition will be glad of it.
