When writing a wedding invitation, it is important to include the following information:
-
Host Line: This is the line that indicates who is hosting the wedding. Traditionally, the host line includes the names of the brides parents, but it can also include the names of the grooms parents, both sets of parents, or the couple themselves if they are hosting the wedding.
-
Request Line: This line invites guests to attend the wedding. It can be phrased in different ways depending on the formality of the wedding, such as "request the honor of your presence" for a religious ceremony or "request the pleasure of your company" for a civil ceremony.
-
Names of the Couple: The names of the couple getting married should be included on the invitation.
-
Date and Time: The date and time of the ceremony and reception should be clearly stated on the invitation.
-
Location: The name and address of the wedding venue(s) should be included on the invitation.
-
RSVP: Contact details for RSVPs should be provided, along with a deadline for responding.
Other information that can be included on a wedding invitation, but is not necessary, includes dress code, directions to the venue, and information about the wedding registry. It is important to choose wording that reflects the overall tone and style of the wedding.
