In every couple’s planning process, comes the point of writing an invitation. But what should you put in?
Will you go formal traditional style, or make it a little bit more fun? At the end, it comes down to what kind of wedding are you having. If you have a lot of older / traditional guests, the you might wanna go the traditional path. If you have a mixed crowd with a less formal event, you can feel comfortable sending a fun, informal invite. Think of the invitation as the face of your event, so maybe try connect the entire concept (if you’re having one) in the invitation as well.
I once received an invitation to a pirate-themed wedding, on a parchment, inside of a glass bottle, that was hilarious! So think about what kind of message you want to send out.
You can have the most beautiful invitation ever, but when it comes down to it, it still needs to be informative with all the essential wedding info. Whatever type of invitation you choose, we’re here to help you out with some traditional and non-traditional wedding invitations wording formats.
We even added in some interesting situations where you have a step-mom or dad that you want to appear on the invitation as well.
Oh and of course, don’t forget to grab a free digital invitation here.
