Wedding Invitation Wording Tips

 

If you are looking to ensure that your invites are nothing short of perfect the first thing that you need to do is to decide what style and tone you want to use – This is generally based on the big day itself, for example if you are having a formal black tie bash you may want to consider using a formal tone for your wedding invite, whereas if you are having a garden or festival themed wedding you may opt for a more casual and informal tone. After this is decided, you can get started.

 

Basic Information 

There are certain details that need to be included on your wedding invitations so that guests know who is invited, where your wedding is going to be and what time they need to be there. These basic details include:

 

  • Who is extending the invite (You or perhaps your parents)
  • The event itself i.e. the wedding ceremony and/or reception
  • The locations (Where the ceremony and/or reception is taking place)
  • The date and time
  • RSVP details, so that you can gauge an idea of who is and who is not coming. It can be a good idea to do RSVPs by text or email to make it easy for people to get back to you
  • Who the invite is to (Whether it is a singular invite, a plus one and if children are or are not invited)

 

Additional Information

In addition to the above information there is of course going to be other details that you may want to include. Remember that wedding invites are always better when they are neat and to the point, so any other information you want to provide should be provided on a separate insert placed inside your wedding invitations. Some of the additional popular details that many couples choose to share include:

 

  • Directions (A map to the ceremony and reception as well as parking information if relevant)
  • Accommodation options
  • Menu and dietary requirements
  • Personal contact details
  • Gift list
  • Dress code (If there is one)

 

These are the main things that people choose to include in their wedding invitations. Ultimately it is your wedding and your decision, just remember to keep it simple and not to overcrowd your invites, otherwise they will risk looking shoddy and your guests will find it difficult to find the most important information. Also remember to ensure that there are no typos on your invites and that everything, including guests names are spelt correctly. After all (hopefully) these will be the only wedding invites that you will ever send out, so you want them to be perfect.
