    Honor and Honour are one and same thing. It means respect. Honor is an American Dictionary word whilst Honour is English Dictionary word. You can write it the way you like.

      Honor refers to the highest moral principles of honesty, integrity and sincerity and the absence of deceit or fraud. The word is spelled different in U.S English and U.K English. It is spelled as Honour in the British English and Honor in U.S English. Both spellings are correct.

        For an invitation it is usually spelled "honour". You are right. That is the way I type it out most of the time for the invitations I do unless the customer wants it spelled the other way.

        Fiercely defend your right to spell it as either of those two should someone confront you. Honor is the United States form of the U.K. English word Honour. It's similar to colour and color, and check or cheque.
