wording samples
Whether ordering semi-custom or fully custom, you get creative control of the wording on your invitation suites. Use these examples as a template, change them up, or write your own from scratch!
Save the Dates
Most important: your names and the date! If any guests will have travel considerations, it’s helpful to include the location of your wedding.
Tip: Consider adding your wedding website if you plan to share information there with your guests before sending out formal invitations.

Invitations
Make sure to include who, what, when, and where. Your dress code is another detail you may consider including.
Tip: The tone of your invitation wording can help guests understand what type of event to expect. If you’re planning a Black Tie affair, consider more formal wording. If you’re having a backyard BBQ, a lighthearted or casual tone might be more appropriate.
