Wording sets the tone before guests read a single detail. Use these examples as a starting point and make them your own.
Traditional (parents hosting)
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hale request the pleasure of your company at the marriage of their daughter Charlotte Anne to Miles James Porter. Saturday, the second of October, two thousand twenty-seven, at five o’clock.
Together with families
Together with their families, Eloise and Henry invite you to celebrate their marriage. Saturday, June 12, 2027, at four in the afternoon.
Modern
Ava & Julian are getting married. Join us for vows, dinner, and dancing. November 13, 2027 · 7 PM · Los Angeles.
Casual
We’re tying the knot! Come eat, drink, and celebrate with us at Meadowlark Farm.
Bilingual
With an interactive invitation, you don’t need to fit two languages on one card. Guests tap to switch between versions, and each one reads naturally.
Reception to follow
If the ceremony and reception are at different places, add “Reception to follow at the Harbor Club.” If they’re in the same place, “Dinner and dancing to follow” is enough.
Tips
- Spell out times in formal wording (“five o’clock”); use numerals in modern wording.
- “The honour of your presence” traditionally signals a house of worship; “the pleasure of your company” is used elsewhere.
- Put dress code, registry, and accommodation details on the invitation’s detail sections rather than the main card.
