It may seem like a simple thing to do, writing a wedding invitation, but it can often be a daunting task. Let's just go through it step by step.
Complete the following information and see the notes on each one below:
Your full name and your partner's full name:
**insert lovely sentence**
*on* Your wedding date:
The time you want guests to arrive:
*at*Your venue name:
Your venue address:
Now you have completed the above information, you can arrange it to make your invitation wording.
Your Full Name and your Partner's Full Name
You do not have to put your middle names if you don't want to, it just makes it look a bit formal if you do. You may wish to put your parents' names here and say that they invite you to the wedding day of The lovely sentence appears under your names
“request your presence at their wedding ceremony”
“would love you to join them on their wedding day”
“cordially invite you to witness their marriage ceremony”
Or you can go for an informal approach:
“would love you to join us on our wedding day”
“Invite you to our wedding ceremony”
You may even decide to put your parents' names first
Mr and Mrs Smith & Mr and Mrs Jones...
“Invite you to witness the marriage of..... The Date
As simple as it sounds, include the DAY you are getting married e.g. Friday 16th April 2010.
Some people assume all weddings are on a Saturday and that may not be the case.
The Time
Put the time you would like your guests to ARRIVE, NOT the time you are walking down the aisle. The time on the invitation is usually 30 minutes before you plan to walk down the aisle. This is so that your guests can be seated for your arrival and hopefully will allow time for lost guests to be on time!
Your Venue
It is best to include a map with your wedding invitation, GPS coordinates and worded directions, to ensure no last minute phone calls asking you for directions!
