Invitation Wording Guide

Once you’ve selected the design for your stationery, it’s time to focus on your invitation wording. Below, you’ll find inspiration for both traditional and informal styles, tailored to different hosting scenarios and the level of formality you envision for your wedding.

For evening invitations, follow the same structure as your day invitations, but replace “on the occasion of their marriage” with “at an Evening Reception to celebrate the marriage of their daughter” or “at an Evening Reception to celebrate their marriage.”

Traditionally, the bride’s name appears first on the invitation, but this is entirely up to personal preference. For same-sex couples, there are no formal rules, if you’re unsure, listing names alphabetically is always a good option.

Our wedding invitation wording guide offers helpful suggestions, but feel free to customise the wording to match your style, making sure to include your RSVP details.
