Invitation wording/spelling --- honor or honour

I spelled it "honor" which I assume to be the American spelling of it. "Honour", I think, is usually the English or Canadian spelling.

Edited: what KatieM520 said!

Honour is the british spelling of honor and it's used in more formal situations. it's not completely unheard of in the US, but it's not "typical" either.

Hmm thanks girls! I will have to remember that ....

If you use honour, make sure you request the favour of a reply (instead of favor)

I'm having a business do our invites and they said that yes its the English spelling but that is the "invite language"

Crazy Brits, adding extra U's everywhere.

O boy.... LOL .... IDK what to do b/c I also have to put honor (or honour) on the rsvp cards as we are wording it that we have saved ___ seats in your honor

Yep, as a Canadian -- we use "honour." U.S. spelling is "honor."

I work in a university English Dept, and they have me use "honor" on our graduation invitations. So, I followed their lead and wrote "honor" on my invitations. However, I have had many friends write "honour", for the reasons above.

You can request the "honor" or "honour" of one's presence if your ceremony will be held in a religious sanctuary. Anywhere else, like a ballroom, country club, banquet hall or outdoors is more properly worded as "request the pleasure of your company"

I Googled it when I started looking at invitations and, like Paris said, "honour" is considered more formal.

Thanks again girls! I will have to think about this one and discuss with mom and FI lol
