Conventional wording and spelling will govern a couples invitation choices for example the invitation to a wedding ceremony in a house of worship such as a church or a service reads “Mr. and Mrs. Julian Bruce Clemens request the honour” (using the traditional “u” spelling) “of your presence.”

One of the most common mistake among people is the word “Favour,” as in “the favour of a reply,” also uses the traditional spelling.

How about numbers in a given month? Numbers in the date are spelled out, as in “the twenty-six of July,” but long numbers in the street may be written in numerals: “1456 Milwaukee Street.” The Time is also in Half hours are written as “half after four o’clock” – not as “half past four” or as “four-thirty.” No punctuation is used except after abbreviations such as “Mr.” and “Mrs.” or when phrases requiring separation occur in the same line, as in the date.

When less formality is desired, alternatives to traditional third-person wording can be used.
