I am having a masquerade theme wedding, I know cliche but I just love them, in September of 2014. I am a bride who likes to have a plan and executes it as early as possible. I just sent out the save the dates, which are shaped like masquerade masks with the basic information of my wedding. I wish to get the wording and invitations picked out so that when the time comes I can get those sent out in a timely manner.
I want the attire to be formal and black tie, now I know that there will be a few that will not follow this but that does not bother me so much.
Now my bridal party has already suggested and agreed to wear their masks for the majority of the wedding, taking them off when eating, dancing, and for photos.
I would also like my guests to wear masks, not the whole night, but just through out the ceremony and if they wish, longer. Is that being unreasonable? I am going to make and provide all masks for the party and guests. The women will have the option of a mask with a tie ribbon or with a handle, as I do not wish to mess up any ones hair or make up, same with the men. Guests can also bring a mask if they choose. On the invitation, I wish to mention the masks and how I will personally make each and every one for my guests and ask them to send back on their R.S.V.P. with a favorite animal, color, fabric, pattern/print, or something else that could be incorporated in a mask that is designed just for them. I also know that some guests will bring a plus one and others who never R.S.V.P. will show up anyway and for them I will have still elegant but not personalized masks. All the masks will be a keepsake that can be taken home with the guests.
I will be sending out my invitations a year from the wedding and will need an answer by no later than seven months before the wedding.
Is what I am asking for too unreasonable? I wish to be as polite as I possibly can about my requests while still respecting my guests' wishes. I am very crafty and I truly enjoy making and designing masquerade masks so that will not be any added pressure or stress on me. It relaxes me. Also my fiance and I are paying for everything.
How can I word this on an invitation?
Any and all advice and suggestions are more than welcome and highly appreciated. Thank you for your time and help.

Cool idea. Ok I would GIVE them the option whether or not they want to wear a mask. Cuz what if some people feel differently? You could have 3 options on your RSVP:
1. I would like a personalized mask. Here's how I want it. (Then have a space for them to describe their personalized mask)
2. I would like to bring my own mask.
3. I wish to not wear a mask.
But first describe your masquerade wedding, and have them check mark which option they pick, so that way you know. But you can still have the extras around just in case they pick #3 but then change their mind at the wedding. That's what I would do. :) I know for sure if I was attending your wedding, I would so get a personalized mask. That sounds fun. Good luck and congratulations. :)

Answer
All you need is "black tie invited" on the invitations. Those who choose to go formal, will, and those who don't will at least know it's a formal wedding. I would not put any more of this information in the wedding invitations -- keep those classy and formal.
If the masks are going to be ready and at the guest's places, the ones who choose to participate will, the ones who don't, won't. You can direct guests on an extra slip of paper to your wedding website and have an online survey set up to ask questions about their mask preferences. The ones who participate, you can make their custom mask. The rest can just be more regular masquerade masks.
Seven months before the wedding! I guess explain that on the wedding website:
"The theme of our wedding is masquerade. As many of you know, Cecelia is a gifted crafter. She would love to make a custom mask for each guest who chooses. Click here to take a short survey of what you'd like in your mask, and be sure to leave your name so we can have it ready for you at the wedding. We are so excited about this, and blessed by all who choose to celebrate in this way with us. If you desire a customized mask, we will need to know by no later than February 12, 2014. You may also call Cecelia at 444-444-4444 (or email at ceceila@mail.com) to discuss your preferences with her. We will have other masks available for each guest at the wedding, and look forward to a unique and spectacular day with you all."
That's how I would handle it. It does seem like a lot of fuss and work, and I'm not sure how the masks will work for the ceremony, but it's your wedding and if it's meaningful to you and brings you (and your fiancé!) joy, then go for it. Just don't bog down the wedding invitation with all the details.
