What To Include in Your Wedding Invitation
When it comes to wedding invitations, there are a lot of things to consider. Not only do you need to find the perfect design and color scheme, but you also need to think about the wording and who will be sending them out. If this is your first time planning a wedding, you may not be sure what to include in your invitations.
There are three types of wedding invitations: formal, semi-formal, and casual. The type of invitation you choose will depend on the type of event you are having. If you are having a formal wedding, you will need to send out formal invitations. If you are having a more casual wedding, you can send out semi-formal or casual invitations. You can even choose to send out wedding invitations with pictures to personalize the design. No matter what type of invitation you select, however, there are many things to consider. Let’s take a closer look at some of the things that you can include in your wedding invitation.
Basic Information
Your wedding invitation aims to tell people about your big day and invite them to the ceremony and reception. As such, it is important that you include all of the basic information about your event. When you design your invitation, you will include the names of the bride and groom and an opening line inviting the guest to the event. On the inside, your wedding invitation should also include the date, time, and location of the ceremony, as well as details about the reception. Aside from this, you may wish to include some other details about any specific attire or other specialized information.
The Couple’s Story
When two people fall in love, they want to share their happiness with the people they care about the most. Your invitation should be personal and reflective of your relationship. You may want to include a short paragraph about how you met, fell in love, and decided to get married. You could also include a quote or song lyrics that are special to you as a couple.
Some couples even choose to design picture wedding invitations for a more personal touch. You can include your engagement photo or other images throughout your relationship. Photo wedding invites are becoming more popular and are used to convey the couple’s story. To complement your photos, your invitation should be visually appealing as well with an appealing font and design. No matter what you include in your wedding invitation, you’ll want to ensure that it is a reflection of the love you share.
RSVP
As discussed, when sending out invitations to your wedding, you will need to include a few key pieces of information. One very important thing to include is RSVP information. You can include an RSVP card with the invitation, or if you are using an online RSVP service, you can include the link in the invitation. RSVP information should include the number of people attending, the deadline for responding, and the method of response. These responses will be critical for planning purposes.
Additionally, if you are serving a meal at the reception, you will want to include menu information. When it comes to the menu, you will need to include information on the number of courses that will be served. If you have a buffet, you will need to list the items that will be available. If you are having a sit-down dinner, you will need to list the courses that will be served. You may also want to include information on any dietary restrictions that your guests may have.
One of the most important decisions is what to include on your wedding invitation when planning your wedding. The invitation sets the tone for the entire wedding, so it’s important to get it right. While there are many different designs and styles to choose from, your invitation should be personal and help to announce and celebrate your big day.
