What you say on your wedding invitations is as much an expression of yourself as the wedding invitation itself.

Some weddings are more formal than others and the style and wording of your wedding invitations will often reflect your preference.
Regardless of the level of formality, however, there are always good...and bad...wedding invitation practices to be aware of. |
| Wedding Invitation Do's |
| |
| |
Do invite the partners of guests who are married, engaged, or living with a significant other. Try to find out their name and include it on the invitation. |
| |
Do send unmarried couples living together one invitation, where their names are listed in alphabetical order and on their own lines. (Guests living together as roommates, not as couples, should each receive their own invitation.) |
| |
Do spell out dates, times and states (half after four oclock in the
evening, not 4:30 pm; and the twenty-second of April, not April 22) |
| |
Do put return postage on envelopes for your response cards. |
| |
Do send wedding invitations at least six weeks before the big day. Order custom wedding invitations at least three to four months in advance to ensure they go out on time. |
| |
Do abbreviate Mr. and Mrs., but spell out the title Doctor. |
| |
Do send a seperate invitation to children over the age of 18 still living with their parents. |
| |
Do publicize wedding registry information by word of mouth only. |
|
|
|
| Wedding Invitation Don'ts |
| |
| |
Dont use punctuation on the invitation, except after abbreviations and
between the city and state. |
| |
Dont print and Guest on the outer wedding invitation envelope to
indicate to a single friend that he/she may bring a date, as this looks
awkward. Print it on the inner envelope holding the actual wedding
invitation instead. |
| |
Dont print no children on the invite if youre planning an adults only
reception. Simply address each invitation explicitly to your intended
guests (i.e. Mr. and Mrs. John Smith, not The Smiths). |
| |
Dont print registry information on the wedding invitation. |
| |
Dont forget to invite your officiant and his/her spouse to the reception. |
| |
Dont include an RSVP card for invitations to a ceremony only (by the
way, its only proper to send invites to only the ceremony if there will NOT be a reception). |
