What should we include in our wedding invitations?

Introduction

Wedding invitations set the tone for your big day and provide guests with essential information. This guide covers everything you need to include to ensure clarity and excitement.

Must-Have Information

Your wedding invitations should include:

• Names of the Couple: Clearly state who is getting married.

• Date and Time: Include the day, month, year, and start time.

• Venue Details: Provide the name and address of the ceremony and reception locations.

• RSVP Instructions: Specify how and when guests should respond.

• Dress Code: Mention the attire expected, if applicable.

Optional Details

Consider adding:

• Wedding Website: Share a link for additional information like accommodations.

• Registry Information: Politely guide guests to your gift preferences.

• Transportation Details: Include parking or shuttle information.

• Schedule of Events: For multi-day weddings, outline the key events.

Tips for Beautiful Invitations

Choose a design that reflects your wedding theme; the secondary purpose of the invitation is to tell your guests what your colour theme/style of your day is going to be. This can be important for those that don’t want to match the Wedding Party by accident! Double-check spelling and details before printing, and send invitations 6–8 weeks before the wedding to give guests enough time to prepare.

Final Thoughts

A well-crafted invitation not only informs but also excites your guests. Take care in designing and detailing your invites to reflect the uniqueness of your celebration.
