Consider including a sonnet or poem from the time period with your medieval wedding invitations, or using creative wording to enhance the feel of the day.
Brides and grooms who participate in Renaissance Faires may wish to use proper custom and garb in their ceremony, and the invitations are a great way to set the stage for the day.
Some suggestions to get you started:
Instead of a reception, tell your guests that "feasting and merriment" will follow the reception.
Use proper language, with "thees" and "thys" in lieu of "you" and "your". Add in fun twists on common themes by requesting your guests' "kind and noble presence" and "the binding of two houses" instead of "celebration of marriage". Creatively describe the location: Use "meadow", "castle", and "shire" to inform your guests of the location, and don't forget that it's not just 2010, it's "the year of our lord".
A medieval wedding is an incredibly fun and unique way to celebrate your marriage, and these suggestions are only the beginning in creating a ceremony that will be as unforgettable as history.
