As a guide, wedding invitations should include details of:
● The hosts.
● The bride and groom.
● Names of the guests being invited (and/or ‘plus one’
if required).
● Whether the invite is for the wedding ceremony and
reception, reception only or evening reception only
details of the ceremony and reception venue, including
location, time and date.
● RSVP – with details of where the reply should be sent.
It is useful to include a telephone number or email so
that guests can ask any questions before responding.
● A deadline to reply by.
Many wedding invitations include an information sheet
detailing:
● How to get there and a map.
● Local accommodation.
● Local taxi firms.
● Wedding gift list.
● Requests for any special dietary requirements.
