Wedding Invitation Wording Generator

Frequently Asked Questions

What information should be on a wedding invitation?

Include: names of couple, host line (who's inviting), request line (invite to attend), ceremony date and time, ceremony location, reception details (if different), dress code, and RSVP information. Optional: website, accommodations, directions.

How formal should my wedding invitation wording be?

Match your wording to your wedding style. Black-tie weddings use formal, traditional language. Casual weddings can be more relaxed and personal. Your invitation sets the tone for your event.

Who should be listed as hosts on the invitation?

Traditionally, the bride's parents host and are listed first. Today, many couples host themselves or share hosting with both families. List whoever is contributing significantly or simply use "Together with their families."

What's the difference between ceremony and reception wording?

If ceremony and reception are at the same place, say "Reception to follow" or "Dinner and dancing to follow." If different locations, include full reception details or add a separate reception card.

Can I include my wedding website on the invitation?

Yes! Add your website URL at the bottom of the invitation or on a separate details card. This is helpful for sharing accommodations, registry, schedule, and RSVP information.

When should I send wedding invitations?

Send invitations 6-8 weeks before the wedding (3-4 months for destination weddings). Send save-the-dates 6-8 months in advance so guests can plan travel and accommodations.
