Elements To Include In Your Wedding Invitation Wording Wedding Invitation Wording Ideas Formal Wedding Invitation Wording Examples Casual Wedding Invitation Wording Samples Elements To Include In Your Wedding Invitation Wording The truth is, there’s not a big difference between formal and casual wedding invitations. If your wedding is formal, you might want to choose classic wedding invitations, which tend to have script, foil elements, and lots of sparkle. On the other hand, if you’re going for a casual gathering, you may choose one of our rustic wedding invitations, which tend to feature muted colors, barnwood graphics, and simple typography. However you style your wedding, the “who, when, where, and why” details of your wedding are the same and they should be very clear and easy to read. Below find additional elements to include in your invitation and how to address wedding invitations. A few things to make sure to include in your wedding invitations are the names of the hosts (so guests know who to thank!), the couples’ names, specific details on the location and venue, and any post-ceremony plans your guests should be aware of. Host Names The first line of your wedding invitations is dedicated to the host of the wedding, also known as the party covering the expenses. Traditionally, the bride’s parents pay for the wedding, but with the times changing, the groom’s parents, bride, and groom, or a combination of all three are contributing. There is no official order or requirement to list the names. It’s all up to personal preference. If your family has a non-traditional structure, don’t let the host name part of the invitation trip you up. It’s easy to accommodate situations such as step-parents or when the parents of the bride or groom are deceased. These situations just offer another opportunity for creative wording like these examples below: Including step parents in your wedding invitation Here is example wording for including step parents in wedding invitations: Mr. & Mrs. Flores, Mr. & Mrs. Hill, Mr. & Mrs. Byrne and Mr. & Mrs. Lin request the pleasure of your company at the marriage of Talia Flores & Stephen Byrne Honoring deceased parents in your wedding invitation Here is example wording for including deceased parents in wedding invitations:
Mr. & Mrs. Jon Flores and Mr. Tom Byrne & the late Mrs. Nancy Byrne request the honor of your company at the marriage of their children Talia Flores & Stephen Byrne The Couple’s Names When listing the names of the couple in wedding invitations, the bride’s name typically precedes the groom’s. Most commonly, the bride’s first and middle names are used while the groom’s first and last names are used. This is, of course, all up to personal style. Whether you’re opting for formal or casual invitations will determine how you display your names. Sometimes, it’s good to know the etiquette rules for wedding stationery, just so you can break them with confidence! The Details Next to the couple’s names, the ceremony details are the most important part of your wedding invites. You want to make sure your guests have no confusion about when, where, what day and time, and any other important information. For your invitation wording, keep the details simple and stick to the basics. Include the date, time, location, and address. Include dress code information if you wish your guests to adhere to a specific style of apparel. In many formal invitations, couples will spell out the date and time. With a nod to modern GPS technology, some folks will include the latitude and longitude of the wedding ceremony location so guests can plug it into their mapping app. Date + time Location + address Dress code Any other pertinent information Post Ceremony Plans Let your guests know what to expect after the ceremony. It’s a great way to set the tone for your reception with clear expectations. If there’s a cocktail hour or dancing and dinner, it’s good to spell it all out here, or include your wedding website link that has all the information. You should also include the address if the reception will be held at a separate venue. Design Elements When guests open their wedding invitation, the first thing they see is your overall design. The fun part of creating your invitations is adding interesting design elements. There are many invitation styles to choose from, including unique ones like artistic, whimsical, and vintage. Shutterfly’s wedding stationery offers a wide range of options to customize and personalize your invitations. You can choose classic elements such as monograms and symbols. You can add visual interest with borders and patterns on the card. You may want to include engagement photos for your guests to enjoy before the wedding. Finally, sweet phrases, such as “getting hitched,” “we do,” “forever and always,” and more phrases from the list below convey even more of an emotional feeling to your invitations. Monograms and symbols Borders and patterns Engagement photos Sweet phrases Getting hitched We do Love All we need is love We decided on forever Forever and Always To love and to cherish The future Mr. & Mrs. _____ At Last Mr. & Mrs. Share in our love Wedding Invitation Wording Ideas Whether you are planning a formal or informal affair, there are plenty of great wedding invitation wording options for your invites. Some weddings don’t fall into the formal or informal category, but somewhere more down the middle. Many couples like to use a hybrid of traditional and non-traditional wording. On the more formal side, you could use classic wedding invitation wording such as, “The honor of your presence is requested at the marriage of” or “You are cordially invited to celebrate the marriage of,” or “We invite you to share in our joy and request your presence at the wedding of”. For more informal wedding invitation greetings and phrases, try something simple and casual such as, “You are invited to the wedding of,” or “Kindly join us at the wedding of,” or “Please come help us celebrate our love.” If you as a couple are known for a specific phrase or motto, add that to your invitations if it makes sense.
