Wedding Invitation Wording

Wedding Invites and Wording

While picking the perfect theme and style of your wedding invitations, the wording and arrangement of your invites is also important. Taking into consideration all traditional aspects of wedding invitation wording and arrangement, Breeze Invitations can help you design the information on your themed wedding invite so it reads perfectly and follows all conventional and correct wedding invite etiquette.

Choosing whether you want your invites to follow ‘bride and groom hosting’ ‘parents hosting’ or ‘bride’s parents hosting’ formats is an important decision to make as it sets the tone for your entire invitation message. It also indicates the key figures involved in your wedding besides the couple themselves.

Choosing the best wording for your wedding invitations

As a general rule, the bride’s name always comes first on the wedding invitation. Unless it is a cultural or religious belief, printing the bride’s name first is the most traditional way to set your wedding invites.

Your RSVP date and contact details need to be printed clearly on the wedding invite itself, not the RSVP card. If you print your details on the RSVP card, when your guests send their card back to you they are left with no other contact information on the actual invite, which can create problems and is a general inconvenience to your guests. Setting an RSVP date at least three weeks prior to the wedding is usual etiquette, as it allows enough time for final arrangements.

Dress code is a very important yet often overlooked detail on all wedding invitations. People feel comfortable knowing that they will be obliging with the dress code and it is a courteous guideline to ensure everyone is dressed appropriately.

If you’re having a wishing well at your wedding, it is often seen that people include a wishing well poem in their wedding invitation package. While this is common practice these days, it does not comply with wedding invitations and their traditional wording or arrangement. While wishing wells are very popular, some guests would like the option of buying the couple a gift themselves, so including a wishing well poem that also offers the guest a chance to bring the gift they had their heart set on is a great idea. With so many types of wishing well wording out there, there is sure to be one to suit your personality and desires for your wedding. We can also tailor make a poem to your individual needs for a more personal touch, whether it be for the honeymoon, furniture or even to help with those reno's you havent had a chance to do!
