The below is very full and complete - however in my experience - most reform Jews only do the short portion which translates to: Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who creates the fruit of the vine. (Amen)
The text of the Friday night kiddush begins with a passage from genesis, testifying to God's creation of the world. Most people stand during the recital of these verses, since one of the reasons for keeping Shabbat is to affirm that God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh.
Since the Shabbat morning kiddush is Rabbinically rather than Biblically mandated, it has a lesser status than the Friday-night kiddush. In order to elevate its importance, it is referred to as "Kiddusha Rabba" -×§×™×“×•×©× ×¨×‘×- "The Great Kiddush." This kiddush, too, is preceded by Biblical verses, although not all the verses are said by all families.
Amen is said by the congregation after the Kiddush or any other blessing is read. It means "I agree" and is usually only said by those who hadn't read the blessing.

This version of kiddush is said on the festival nights of passover
The sections in brackets are added when the holiday coincides with Shabbat (Friday night).
On Sukkot, the following blessing is added immediately after kiddush when the meal takes place in a kosher sukkah:
On all the holidays, this blessing is recited after the nighttime kiddush (except on the last two nights of Passover,when it is omitted):
When the festival coincides with Shabbat, first the Biblical verses (above, Shabbat morning kiddush) are recited,followed by two additional verses and the blessing over wine. When the holiday falls on a weekday, the morning kiddush begins with the two verses:
By extension, the term "kiddush" may also refer to a reception of wine, cake, soft drinks, and buffet items such as herring, kugel, following Shabbat morning services or other happy occasion. In some synagogues the celebrant is honored with reciting the Shabbat morning kiddush on behalf of all the attendees.
Kiddush (or Kiddish) is a blessing recited over a cup of wine before the evening and morning meal on the Jewish Sabbath and major festivals.
Kiddush acknowledges the sanctity of the day. It is usually performed by the head of the household, but it may involve all family members. After the recitation, each person sips wine from the cup, or the one who recited may pour from his cup into individual cups for each participant.
Traditionally, after Kiddush has been recited, all members perform a ritual washing of hands (Called Netilat Yadayim), after which the blessing is made over the bread.
Kiddushin (קידושין) means "sanctifications" and usually refers to an Orthodox Jewish wedding.
Kiddushin could also refer to the last tractate of the third order of the Mishnah Nashim.
The Kiddush cup is used for drinking wine after the Kiddush blessings are said. The Kiddush blessings are sung at the beginning of the Sabbath meal.

The word just means sanctification, but in common usage within the Jewish community, it is frequently used to refer to the first of the two actions required to create a marriage. The kiddushin typically involves the groom giving the bride a plain gold ring, without a stone, after appropriate blessings are said. This creates a betrothal, although in modern Jewish practice, the kiddushin is done as part of the wedding ceremony and not in advance. The second step in the wedding is called chuppah (the ch as in bach or loch), and involves the bride and groom being alone together for long enough that they could have consumated the marriage. The kiddushin must be in the presence of trustworthy witnesses, and once completed, a religious divorce is required to dissolve the marriage.
Kiddush (קידוש) means hallowing or sanctifying
The Shulchan Aruch (Remo in 271:12) indeed says that one should wash before Kiddush and make Hamotzi immediately after Kiddush- and the Yekkes (Jews whose ancestors lived in Germany) actually do so. See Mishna Brura Vol 3. pg 95-96 for details. Note that even according to those that say that one should wash after Kiddush, pasken that the Man of the House (the person making Kiddush) should do so; everybody else should wash before Kiddush.

it's called "Kiddush" (hebrew) or sanctification.
"Kiddush" is not a foodstuff, it is an action. The word literally means "hallowing". Orthodox Jews perform Kiddush when Shabbat begins (Friday evening), which involves the blessing of candles, wine, bread, and God's love for the Jewish people. Following that they drink some of the blessed wine and blessed bread and this leads into a Shabbat meal that takes up much of the rest of the night.
