While beautiful design is important, it is not enough to forget that Invitations for your wedding serve a purpose. They are meant to communicate essential information about your wedding to your guests. You can add as much or as little detail as you like, but there are some facts that you should include in order to ensure your guests arrive on time and are well informed.
You are invited to a wedding
You can either ask for their company or tell your guests that you are ‘tying to knot’. Let your guests know that you are getting married with invitation wording that matches the tone of your invitation. Modern weddings can be presented with a casual, fun tone.
Names of happy couple
You will need to include your name and the name of your future husband or wife so that guests can easily identify which wedding you are attending. However, for same-sex marriages, you can arrange names alphabetically, or in any order that looks or sounds the best.
The location and the venue
It is mandatory to include the name of your wedding venue as well as additional venue information. If you prefer not to include the complete address, you can leave it blank. However, you must provide the name of your venue and the country/city where it is located so that guests can find its exact location.
The date and the time
Tell your guests when and where they should be arriving. If you invite guests to destination weddings, let them know how many days it will take. The invitation, and more specifically its style, will indicate the formality of your wedding.
Information about reception
If you are having an evening at a different venue than usual, let your guests know by including this information on the invitation. Also, inform them if transportation will be provided and if they will need to drive there.
Know your colors
Also, think about the colors of your wedding. For formal wedding invitations, ivory, cream, or white card with a black font or gold font is the best choice. However, you can brighten your invites by using metallic fonts, paper stock and envelopes.
Use your words carefully
Find out the rules for wording an invitation. The invitation should be addressed to the host first. Normally, the invitation should include all details, including the time and place of the ceremony. It can be difficult to read and make the invitation look less elegant if you try to fit too much on it. You can leave details such as directions to the venue or information about the post-wedding activities on your invitation card. You should always include the time of the ceremony in your wedding invitations. Are you looking for someone to decorate your wedding? Look at Marbella-wedding.com.
