Whether your ceremony includes a full Nuptial Mass or a Rite of Marriage without Mass, knowing how to reflect that on your invitation and program makes the difference between a beautiful piece of paper and a genuinely meaningful one. This guide covers everything you need to write, design, and print: from the correct wording on your invitation to a complete, print-ready order of service for your wedding program.<\/p>\n<p>Planning stationery for a Jewish, Indian, or Muslim ceremony instead?

It is a formal announcement of a sacrament. The language used signals the sacred character of the ceremony in ways that a generic wedding invitation does not.<\/p>\n<p>Three things set Catholic invitations apart.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The request line.<\/strong> When a ceremony takes place in a church, the traditional phrase is &#8220;request the honor of your presence&#8221; rather than &#8220;request the pleasure of your company.&#8221; The word &#8220;honor&#8221; has been the convention for church ceremonies for generations because it reflects reverence for the sacred space.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Naming the ceremony.<\/strong> The invitation should identify whether the ceremony is a Nuptial Mass (a full Mass with Communion, the most common Catholic wedding format) or simply a Rite of Marriage (a shorter ceremony without Mass, sometimes called a ceremony-only service). This also helps guests who are not Catholic understand what they are attending and approximately how long it will last.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The church name.<\/strong> Unlike secular venues, a church carries its own significance. Include the full name of the parish (not just &#8220;St. Mary&#8217;s&#8221; but &#8220;Saint Mary Catholic Church&#8221;), along with the city and state. A street address is optional but useful if there are several parishes with similar names in the area.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;margin:24px auto 36px;\">\n<p style=\"text-align:center;margin:32px auto;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/paperlust-invitation-1msxfe1x.jpg\" alt=\"Paperlust invitation, Beautifully styled wedding stationery suite flat lay featuring warm earth tones with cream and terracotta brown.

Each can be adapted to your family structure and preferred level of formality.<\/p>\n<h3>Full Nuptial Mass, Couple Hosting<\/h3>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;\"><strong>The honor of your presence<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>is requested at the <strong>Nuptial Mass<\/strong> uniting<\/p>\n<p><strong>Margaret Anne Sullivan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>and<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thomas Joseph Reilly<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>in the <strong>Sacrament of Holy Matrimony<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>on Saturday, the eighteenth of October<\/p>\n<p>two thousand and twenty-six<\/p>\n<p>at three o&#8217;clock in the afternoon<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saint Patrick Catholic Church<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chicago, Illinois<\/p>\n<p>Reception immediately following<\/p>\n<p>The Dalton Hotel Ballroom<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Full Nuptial Mass, Parents Hosting<\/h3>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;\"><strong>Mr. and Mrs. Robert Sullivan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>request the honor of your presence<\/p>\n<p>at the <strong>Nuptial Mass<\/strong> uniting their daughter<\/p>\n<p><strong>Margaret Anne<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>to<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thomas Joseph Reilly<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>son of Mr. and Mrs. William Reilly<\/p>\n<p>in the <strong>Sacrament of Holy Matrimony<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Saturday, October 18, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saint Patrick Catholic Church<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chicago, Illinois<\/p>\n<p>Dinner and dancing to follow<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Together with Their Families, Semi-Formal<\/h3>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;\"><strong>Together with their families<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Margaret Sullivan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>and<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thomas Reilly<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>request the honor of your presence<\/p>\n<p>at their <strong>Sacrament of Holy Matrimony<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>celebrated within a <strong>Nuptial Mass<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>October 18, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saint Patrick Catholic Church<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chicago, Illinois<\/p>\n<p>Reception to follow<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Ceremony-Only (Rite of Marriage, No Mass)<\/h3>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;\"><strong>Margaret Anne Sullivan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>and<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thomas Joseph Reilly<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>together with their families<\/p>\n<p>request the honor of your presence<\/p>\n<p>at the celebration of their <strong>Rite of Marriage<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Saturday, October 18, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saint Patrick Catholic Church<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chicago, Illinois<\/p>\n<p>Reception to follow at The Dalton Hotel Ballroom<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>The Separate Reception Card<\/h3>\n<p>When the reception is at a different venue, include a separate enclosure card rather than placing reception details on the invitation itself.

A monsignor is addressed as &#8220;Very Reverend Monsignor&#8221; or simply &#8220;Monsignor.&#8221; A bishop is &#8220;Most Reverend Bishop.&#8221; Most Catholic invitations do not name the officiant on the invitation itself. That information typically appears on the wedding program instead.<\/p>\n<h3>When the Guest List Is Mixed<\/h3>\n<p>If you have many non-Catholic guests, consider adding a brief line on the invitation or on a separate note card: &#8220;A full Nuptial Mass will be celebrated. The ceremony is approximately 75 minutes.&#8221; Non-Catholic guests appreciate being prepared for a longer service and for knowing that they are welcome to remain seated during Communion.<\/p>\n<h3>Spelling Out Dates and Times<\/h3>\n<p>Very formal Catholic invitations traditionally spell out the full date and time (&#8220;the eighteenth of October, two thousand and twenty-six, at three o&#8217;clock in the afternoon&#8221;). Semi-formal invitations use numerals (&#8220;October 18, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.&#8221;). Either is correct, choose the level of formality that matches your overall stationery design.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;margin:24px auto 36px;\">\n<p style=\"text-align:center;margin:32px auto;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/paperlust-rsvp-175p5gbm.jpg\" alt=\"Paperlust rsvp, Beautifully styled wedding suite flatlay featuring arch-shaped invitation\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;display:inline-block;border-radius:4px;\" \/><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>The Catholic Wedding Program: A Complete Order of Service<\/h2>\n<p>The wedding program is where the practical information lives. It helps guests follow the ceremony, tells them who is reading each scripture passage, lists the music, and gives non-Catholic guests enough context to participate comfortably.<\/p>\n<p>A Nuptial Mass program typically runs 4-8 printed pages. A ceremony-only program is usually 2-4 pages.<\/p>\n<h3>Front Cover<\/h3>\n<p>The front cover needs only a few elements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The title: &#8220;The Nuptial Mass of&#8221; or &#8220;The Marriage of&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Both names<\/li>\n<li>The church name<\/li>\n<li>The date and city<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Many couples add a meaningful scripture verse or a simple cross or floral graphic on the cover.<\/p>\n<h3>Inside Left: Wedding Party and Ministers<\/h3>\n<p>List the celebrant (priest), any deacon, the lectors, cantor, musicians, and the wedding party. A common heading is &#8220;Those Celebrating with Us.&#8221; This gives guests a reference point for the names mentioned during the ceremony.<\/p>\n<h3>Inside Right: Order of Service<\/h3>\n<p>This is the core of the program. Print the section headings clearly and list each element with the music title (if applicable) and reader name where relevant. You do not need to print the full text of prayers or readings, citations and reader names are standard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Introductory Rites<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;\">Prelude<\/p>\n<p>Procession<\/p>\n<p>Greeting and Opening Prayer<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Liturgy of the Word<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;\">First Reading, Genesis 2:18-24<\/p>\n<p><em>Read by Martha Chapman, grandmother of the bride<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Responsorial Psalm, &#8220;The Lord is kind and merciful&#8221; (Psalm 103)<\/p>\n<p><em>Sung by the cantor<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Second Reading, 1 Corinthians 13:4-13<\/p>\n<p><em>Read by John Reilly, uncle of the groom<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Gospel Acclamation<\/p>\n<p>Gospel, John 15:9-12<\/p>\n<p><em>Proclaimed by Rev.

Your priest or deacon will give you a list of approved options from the Catholic Lectionary. These are some of the most commonly chosen:<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Reading<\/th>\n<th>Reference<\/th>\n<th>Common Theme<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>The Creation of Woman<\/td>\n<td>Genesis 2:18-24<\/td>\n<td>Partnership and companionship<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Set me as a seal on your heart<\/td>\n<td>Song of Songs 2:8-10, 14, 16; 8:6-7<\/td>\n<td>Love&#8217;s strength and permanence<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Love is patient, love is kind<\/td>\n<td>1 Corinthians 13:4-13<\/td>\n<td>The qualities of lasting love<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Love one another as I love you<\/td>\n<td>John 15:9-12<\/td>\n<td>Christ&#8217;s model of selfless love<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bear one another&#8217;s burdens<\/td>\n<td>Galatians 6:2<\/td>\n<td>Shared responsibility in marriage<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wives and husbands, be subordinate<\/td>\n<td>Ephesians 5:2, 21-33<\/td>\n<td>Mutual respect (note: many couples skip this one)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Your deacon or priest can confirm which readings from the lectionary are approved for your specific date. Lent and Advent have restrictions on certain music and solemnity levels that can affect which readings are available.<\/p>\n<h2>How Paperlust Designs Catholic Wedding Invitations and Programs<\/h2>\n<p>Paperlust produces the full suite: invitations, reception cards, RSVP cards, information cards, and matching wedding programs. Browse the complete range of <a href=\"\/us\/browse\/wedding-invitations\/\">wedding invitations<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/paperlust.co\/browse\/wedding-programs\/\">wedding programs<\/a> to see current designs.<\/p>\n<p>For Catholic weddings, several design choices work particularly well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Print method.<\/strong> Letterpress on 600gsm Wild Cotton creates an heirloom-quality invitation with a tactile, pressed impression that suits formal Catholic aesthetics. Flat Foil in gold or pale gold adds a metallic warmth to traditional designs without the heavier price point of foil stamp. Digital print is the most affordable and still produces beautifully sharp results on premium card stock.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Design elements.<\/strong> Crosses, floral wreaths, and classic serif typography are the most common choices for Catholic wedding stationery. Many couples incorporate a scripture reference or a single meaningful line from the Mass, typically in italic text beneath the couple&#8217;s names. Cream, ivory, white, and soft gold are the most popular color palettes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The suite.<\/strong> A typical Catholic wedding stationery suite includes the invitation, a separate reception card, an RSVP card, and the wedding program. Some couples add an information card for out-of-town guests with hotel and travel details. Paperlust designs all of these as a cohesive set so the fonts, paper, and finish match across every piece.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Matching programs.<\/strong> Wedding programs at Paperlust are printed on the same paper stocks as your invitations, so the whole suite reads as unified. A folded 4-page program on 300gsm cotton stock is the most popular format for a Nuptial Mass. The program can be designed to match or complement your invitation suite.<\/p>\n<p>A designer is assigned to every order, proof is delivered within 1-2 business days, and two rounds of edits are included at no additional cost. Orders over $350 USD ship free via DHL Express.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;margin:24px auto 36px;\">\n<p style=\"text-align:center;margin:32px auto;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/paperlust-program-1ak-d3zl.jpg\" alt=\"Paperlust program, Beautifully styled wedding menu on artisan ceramic plates with linen napkin and dried poppy stem.

If you are having a full Nuptial Mass, the words &#8220;Nuptial Mass&#8221; or &#8220;Sacrament of Holy Matrimony celebrated within a Nuptial Mass&#8221; should appear on the invitation so guests know what to expect. If you are having a ceremony-only Rite of Marriage, you can write &#8220;Rite of Marriage&#8221; or simply &#8220;Catholic ceremony.&#8221; The invitation should accurately reflect the type of service being celebrated.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the correct honorific for the priest on the invitation?<\/h3>\n<p>The standard title for a priest on a formal Catholic invitation or program is &#8220;Reverend&#8221; (Rev.) followed by the full name. A deacon is listed as &#8220;Deacon [Full Name].&#8221; A monsignor is &#8220;Very Reverend Monsignor [Full Name]&#8221; or simply &#8220;Monsignor [Last Name].&#8221; For the invitation itself, most couples do not list the officiant, that information appears on the program instead.<\/p>\n<h3>How long is a Catholic Nuptial Mass?<\/h3>\n<p>A Nuptial Mass typically runs 60-90 minutes. A ceremony-only Rite of Marriage (without Communion) is usually 30-45 minutes. The length depends on the length of the homily, the number of musicians, and whether additional optional elements like a unity candle, Marian devotion, or special cultural customs (such as the lazo or arras) are included.<\/p>\n<h3>How many pages should a Catholic wedding program be?<\/h3>\n<p>A Nuptial Mass program typically runs 4-8 pages when printed as a folded booklet. If you include the full text of the readings and the full text of prayers, it can run longer, up to 12 pages for a very detailed program. A ceremony-only program is usually 2-4 pages. At Paperlust, the most popular format for a Nuptial Mass is a 4-page folded program on 300gsm cotton card.<\/p>\n<h3>What should non-Catholic guests know before attending a Nuptial Mass?<\/h3>\n<p>Three things are most helpful to communicate: the approximate length of the ceremony (60-90 minutes), that Communion is reserved for Catholics in good standing with the Church, and that non-Catholics are warmly invited to come forward during Communion with arms crossed over the chest to receive a blessing. Including a short paragraph in the program covering these points is the most considerate approach.<\/p>\n<h3>Can we include cultural customs like a unity candle or lazo in a Catholic Mass?<\/h3>\n<p>Many Catholic parishes permit optional customs including the lighting of a unity candle, the lazo (a floral or rosary rope looped around the couple&#8217;s shoulders), the arras (13 coins), and the presentation of flowers to the Virgin Mary. These are cultural additions, not required parts of the Rite, and need to be confirmed with your priest in advance. If you include them, note each one with its music or prayer in the program so guests can follow along.<\/p>\n<h3>Do we need to print the full scripture text in the program?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Standard practice is to print the reading by citation (book, chapter, and verse) followed by the reader&#8217;s name. Printing the full text is optional, some couples prefer it for a longer, more immersive program; others keep the program lean. If your ceremony includes many non-Catholic guests who may not have access to a Catholic Bible, printing a short excerpt or summary of each reading can be a thoughtful touch.<\/p>\n<h2>Related Cultural Wedding Guides<\/h2>\n<p>This article is part of the Paperlust cultural wedding series.
