The historical custom was for the wedding invitations to be sent out by the bride's parents. This is still a popular choice and helps to emphasise that your wedding is a family affair, however it is increasingly common for both sets of parents or the bride and groom themselves to host the wedding.
A less formal invitation usually has the words : 'would like you to join them' in place of 'request the pleasure of the company of' and may, for example, state in full: 'The reception afterwards will be at...'.
We have listed below some of the more usual wording choices and also a few adaptions that are required for certain circumstances.
