First of all...
Congratulations on your pending nuptials!
My name is Richard and I’ll be your guide to creating pitch perfect wording for your wedding invitations.
I remember when we were planning our wedding and thinking...
‘What exactly do you write on a wedding invitation?!?’
Fear not dear reader. In this guide you’ll find all the information you need and, what’s more, you’ll be able to test drive some of the most popular wording examples and see in black and white just what sounds right for you.
In this wedding invitation wording guide you’ll find...
So there are some basic pieces of information that really must appear on your wedding invitation. These are essentially...
The who, the where and the when...
Everything else is a matter of style and personal taste.
Please don’t stress or worry yourself, there really are no hard and fast rules for wording your wedding invitation.
The most important thing is that you are happy with the way it reads.
There are a few things to consider...
This is one of the areas I get asked about most. How do we make sure they know who is invited? (And who isn’t).
There are two simple ways to invite your guests...
On the left - Use line to hand write names on.
On the right - The guest names will be written on the envelope
You may have the most exquisite handwriting, or you may know someone who has. In this case you may be happy to adorn your invitations with your skilled script.
If, on the other hand, you’d rather not put pen to your finely crafted and beautifully printed invitations, then a simple solution is to use your envelope to let your guests know just who is invited.
With the rise in popularity of letter press and embossed print, many couples prefer to avoid writing directly onto their invitations.
When working out how many invitations you’ll need it’s tempting to just work out how many guests you are inviting. But you only need on invitation per couple or family.
Number of Guests Invited to Full Day - Divide By Two - Add some Spares*
*Do the same again if you are having evening guests
It’s much better to have some keepsake invitations left over. Ordering a reprint is expensive and best avoided.
For me there is only one thing that truly matters when it comes to your wedding invitations.
