Honor vs Honour

"honor of your presence" is used for religious/church weddings. "Pleasure of your company" is used for more secular weddings. If it's a black tie wedding I think "honour" is appropriate, but my wedding is a pretty darn formal church wedding and I used "honor". ETA: Wait, in your other thread didn't you say you already sent your invitations?

I used "honor." But from your other post, it looks like most of your invitations have already gone out, right?

Where are you located? If you are in the U.S., I'd stick with "honor."

It's supposed to be honour for religious ceremonies, but I used honor because I feel like nobody knows it's supposed to be honour and they would think that we made a mistake, or poke fun at the fact I've spent the last 3 years of school in the UK lol

What about the phrase "honor of your prescence" is inherently religious? Haha I learned something new today. I just ordered my invites too...

I think it should be "honor" unless it's a super fancy wedding (like, white glove service).

We are using honour because it is what I grew up with in Canada.

I don't think people care. I would just be consistent. Don't use "honor" in one place, and then "honour" in another.

"Honour" for formal or church weddings. "Honor" for everything else.

Do people receiving invites really care though? Not being snarky just thinking out loud

Technically it's the British spelling. But using honor/honour is for a church ceremony.

Yes i sent them out. My co working got hers and came in today and asked if it was super formal and i said no why, then she explained. Just wondering what other ppl did and if i goofed

Same as @FutureMrsBrbr, we used British spelling because Canadians always do.

Canadian bride here - we also used honour. I believe Americans use honor because they don't use the British spelling.

We're mutt Americans-- we went with 'honor'.

HAH. OLD English? *Sigh* Yes, more correctly "honour" is British spelling as others have pointed out. You can use either spelling, however ensure that you are consistently using either British spelling or American spelling and that you don't use some of one and some of the other.

@LadyMonk wins this thread

"Honour" indicates church wedding. We had a very formal wedding, so our invites still said "the honor of your presence" but since our ceremony was not in a church, we went with "honor".

I'm using "honour of your presence" because it was a mini disagreement with my mom. I figured if I give her that win she'll ease up on some other things she's pushing for.

I think british and aussie usage includes the the extra "u" but in the U.S., to me at least, it seems...aspirational.
