Frequently asked questions
What should minimalist wedding invitation wording include?
Use the wording to write an ultra-short invitation using only the essential details. Keep the invitation, names, date, time and venue easy to identify, then add the minimalist wedding invitation detail without burying the core invitation.
What details are essential on a minimalist wedding invitation?
Even a minimalist invitation should clearly show who is marrying, what guests are invited to, the date, time and venue. RSVP or website details can be reduced to a short line or moved to an insert.
Should minimalist wedding invitation wording go on the main invitation or on an insert?
For minimalist 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.
