Frequently asked questions
What should micro wedding invitation wording include?
Use the wording to invite a small guest list to an intimate wedding. Keep the invitation, names, date, time and venue easy to identify, then add the micro wedding invitation detail without burying the core invitation.
Should a micro wedding invitation explain why the guest list is small?
Usually not. A personal invitation to an intimate celebration is enough. If close relatives may expect a larger event, explain the small format privately rather than turning the invitation into an apology.
Should micro wedding invitation wording go on the main invitation or on an insert?
For micro 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.
