Is there a formal way of addressing in invitations for a military wedding?
My fiancé is in Air Force, and we are planning to get married after his Basics. Since it would all take another two months to complete, our families have fixed our wedding date now! Since our wedding is going to be in local, and my fiancé would be wearing his dress uniform, I was wondering of the invitation wordings as such! There is no fixed wedding theme though, I was wondering if there should be some formal way of addressing in our invitation, or it would be fine to leave it as it is! Can some wedding expert please assist me?
