Your wording selection is very personal, and each couple will have a unique situation they want to use to invite their guests. Some will be having a religious ceremony with a minister, priest, or rabbi, while others will be having a non-denominational ceremony guided by a non-religious officiant. There will be celebrations hosted by parents, some hosted by the couple, and some hosted by family friends.

Each situation has a unique method of wording according to proper etiquette which you may choose to use, or you can break the rules and create your own special words. Either way, we're here to help you with your selection. Below are a few suggestions for you to consider.
