Frequently asked questions
What should informal wedding invitation wording include?
Use the wording to invite guests in a relaxed and conversational way. Keep the invitation, names, date, time and venue easy to identify, then add the informal wedding invitation detail without burying the core invitation.
Can informal wedding invitation wording use first names and contractions?
Yes. First names, contractions and conversational phrases work well for an informal invitation, provided the date, time, venue and invitation itself are still unmistakably clear.
Should informal wedding invitation wording go on the main invitation or on an insert?
For informal wedding invitation wording, put anything that changes who is invited or what they are invited to on the main invitation. Use main invitation, invitation insert or digital invitation for longer explanation, travel information or secondary etiquette notes so the core invitation stays easy to read.
