WEDDING INVITATION WORDING GUIDE

Are you staring at a blinking cursor, struggling to find the perfect sentiment to use on your wedding invitations? I get the feeling. I felt the same way when my husband, Zach and I were designing the invitations for our Pennsylvania wedding! That’s why I created this wedding invitation wording guide, to help couples like you walk through the invitation wording essentials.

Below, I will answer the following questions in my wedding invitation wording guide!

• How should I word my wedding invitations?
• What comes first on an invitation?
• Where should I include the wedding date, time, and location?
• Do I need to spell out the date and time? (November 21st, 2021 or The Twenty-First of November, Two-Thousand and Twenty-One)
  
• Should I include the full ceremony and reception address(es) on the invitation? (Pump House B&B vs. "Pump House Weddings and B&B, 42 Pump House Lane, Bloomsburg, PA 17815")
  
• Can I customize my wedding invitation wording, add song lyrics, insert a Bible verse or favorite quote, or include a poem on the invitation?
• Where should I include who the hosts are; or where should my parents' names be on the invitation?
• Does wedding invitation wording need to be traditional?
• I'm having a modern wedding. How can I make my wedding invitation wording more contemporary?
• Can I include a little detail about my fiancé and I on the invitation (how we met, or our special proposal story)?
  

Do you need some additional help with your invitation wording? I'm happy to help - just send me a message or better yet, more details about what you're looking for, and I can put together a quick estimate for you! I'm happy to sit down with you for a free wedding stationery consultation if you'd like as well. This will give us a chance to really dive into all the juicy details: your wedding Pinterest board, the paper choices and printing methods I offer (hello letterpress and foil printing!), all of the envelope colors you can choose from, what items you need (or maybe didn't know you needed!), and more.

I also have a collection of wording examples as a starting point available on my website, if you'd like to check those out now! Here​ are some more wedding etiquette do's and don'ts as well. 

Ultimately, it's best to remain true to yourself and who you are as a couple when you put together the verbiage for your wedding stationery. No one is just like you, and you're the only one who can really tell your guests what to expect at your wedding ceremony and reception. Set the tone using language that reflects your personalities, interests, and gives your guests all the most important details. And have fun with it!
