A few of the trends that remain strong:

The equivalent of the "Little Black Dress"-CRANE engraved  - timeless, traditional

• Romantic designs with pearls, crystals, or lace
• Hand lettering with bold calligraphy
• Vintage styles
• Industrial
• Minimalistic / contemporary / unique format

Initials -monogram, duogram, kalogram, or an original symbol

ETIQUETTE

• Note that “the pleasure of your company” replaces “the honour of  your presence” when the ceremony is held at a home, club, or hotel and not on sacred ground.
  
  
• The date always is written out:  “Saturday , the tenth of July.” 
  
  
• A noon wedding is worded “at twelve o’clock.” Weddings on the half hour are written as "half after" the hour instead of "half past" the hour.
  
  
• A house or apartment number is written out through the number ten.
  
  
• Afternoon begins at twelve o’clock. Evening begins at six o’clock.
  
  
• Nicknames are never used on traditional wedding invitations.
  
  
• Abbreviations are not used except for Mr. and Mrs.
  
  
• The words "junior" and "senior" are written in lower case.
  
  
• Envelopes should be hand-addressed. Do not use labels.
  
  
• A separate reception card is not required when the ceremony and reception are at the same location.
  
  
• While the year line is optional on a wedding invitation, it always appears on an announcement and is always written in full: “Two thousand twenty.”
