Your wedding invitation wordings, its design, color scheme and overall tone will not only help your guests know the details of your wedding, but will also help them know your emotions and feelings attached to it. However, to find the perfect wordings for your invitation card can be a task.
Well, if you are also looking for some ideas to create your wedding invitation card, then you landed on the right page as this article has it all. Here in this article I am sharing with you all the details you need to know to write your wedding invitation:
Information to be included in your wedding invite
Well, there is no set format to write your wedding invite. However, there are certain things which are essentially needed to be there in the invite, which includes “who, when, where and why.” It is crucial to mention all the details of your wedding in the invite. Also, the important part is, those details should be clear and easy to read. Here is the list of details which should be there in the wedding invite.
⇒ Names of the people (self, parents & in-laws) who are hosting the wedding
Yes, host of the wedding or the name of the party taking care of your wedding expenses should come in the first line of your wedding invitation.Earlier, the bride’s parents or family used to take care of the expenses of the wedding, but now even the groom’s parents, or bride and groom, can host the wedding. However, there is no set order to list the names. It’s all up to you, how do you want it to be.
⇒ Honoring deceased parents(if any) in your wedding invitation
The Late Mr. Edward Thomas & Mrs. Rumy Thomas and
Mr. Jonas Taylor& Mrs. Liza Taylor
request the honor of your company
at the marriage of their children
Cleeta Thomas
&
William Taylor
⇒ You can include step parents (if any) in your wedding invitation

Mr. & Mrs. Taylor and Mr. & Mrs. Martin

⇒ Your Names
Well, needless to say, the most important detail of the wedding invite. While you mention the name of the couples, make sure you mention bride’s name first and then the groom’s name afterwards. More often than not, the bride’s first and middle names are used; whereas, the groom’s first and last names are used in the wedding invite. Still, it is absolutely your call, you can mention your name anyways.
⇒ The Wedding Details
Another very important part of your wedding invitation are the details of the wedding. Your wedding invite should have the details of the wedding. But, make sure you keep the details, like date, time, location and address, simple and readable.
Date & time
Location & address of the venue
Dress code (if any)
Any other appropriate information, relevant to your wedding
⇒ Wedding invitation should include post ceremony plans
Now comes your post ceremony plans, such as your wedding reception. It is crucial that you mention post ceremony details in your wedding invitation card. Just include all the details of your post wedding functions such as your reception, dinner, dancing, cocktail etc. in the wedding invite. Also, don’t forget to mention the venue details in case your reception or dinner is taking place in some different location. Let your guests have clarity about the post wedding plans.
Designing of your wedding invitation card
It is absolutely up to you, how you want to design your wedding invite. You can add any element of your choice in your wedding invite. And why not, it is your wedding and your card should flaunt it exquisitely. However, it is crucial that the design of your wedding invite reflects your wedding style and theme. There are many types or styles of wedding invitation cards to select from – geometric, black on black, origami, ornate, neon & edgy, minimalist, rustic, vintage, laser cut shapes, artistic, manhattan, whimsical, newsprints, classic, Passport and boarding pass,glass appearance, modern and so on so forth.
