The right words for your kind of wedding.
Warm, formal, or wonderfully simple. Find an invitation voice that sounds like the two of you.
Invitation wording does not need to be complicated to feel special. Begin with who is inviting, what the celebration is, and when and where it happens. Then choose the tone that feels right for your family and your day.
Choose a voice, then keep it consistent
For a family-hosted celebration, an opening such as ‘Together with our families, we invite you to celebrate our wedding’ makes room for everyone. For something more relaxed, try ‘We are getting married, and we would love you to be there.’ These are starting points. Change them until they sound natural when you read them aloud.
Together with our families, we invite you to share in the joy of our wedding.
Keep practical wording clear
Write the full date rather than relying on a numeric format that guests might interpret differently. Distinguish the ceremony start from the arrival time. If attendance differs between events, send each guest only the invitation details intended for them. A warm tone and precise information belong together.
- Spell names exactly as each person prefers
- Name each event and its venue separately
- Use a specific date for your RSVP request
- Explain dress expectations with a helpful example
End with a gentle, specific request
‘Please let us know by 15 November whether you can join us’ is easy to understand. Add the RSVP link directly beneath that request. If guests can bring a partner or children, make that clear in the invitation rather than leaving them to guess.
