Losing a loved one is always difficult. But during this difficult time, you have a choice — you can focus on how unfortunate it was to lose your friend or family member, or you can focus on how fortunate it was to have them with you in the first place.

Hosting a celebration of life instead of a traditional funeral service allows you to remember your loved one in death just as they were in life — full of energy, joy, courage, understanding, and a million other complex emotions that can’t be captured with sadness alone.

When you can’t listen to one more condolence — no matter how well-intentioned the person giving it may be — a celebration of life event is a way to flip the script. Inviting friends and family to this type of service allows you to tell everyone in your invitation wording that instead of shedding tears, the person you’ve lost would want to share smiles. It allows you to ask that your nearest and dearest send memorial cards full of their fondest memories instead of sympathy cards full of regrets.

The right invitation wording will prepare friends and family for a different kind of memorial service. Get ready to ask your invitees to celebrate life, even in the face of loss, with these celebration of life invitation wording ideas.
