How To Style Your Wedding Invitation ?

A key element of your wedding stationery, an invitation is the real starting point of your big day. Your invitation will officially announce the time and place when and where you and your partner will say your “I do’s.”

Bohemian, rustic, embellished with gold finishes, or illustrated delicately - it’s up to you to choose the card that will set the tone for your wedding from among the many different invitations available.

You should include the following essential elements if you want to write the perfect wedding invitation text:

● The first names of the bride and the groom
● The date
● The time and place of the civil and/or religious ceremony, reception, and meal
● The bride and groom’s contact details
● The Reply By date (RSVP date)

Good to know: If you decide to include an RSVP card, you don’t need to include the Reply By date on your invitation. You can include this information on the RSVP card.

Remember to capitalise the first letters of your first names, as well as your wedding venue. You can also consider highlighting key information in your wedding invitation wording, such as the venues of the ceremony, drinks reception, and banquet, with capital letters or touches of colour. Let your imagination run wild!
