Tips for wording your invitation
- Match the words to the wedding. Spelled-out formal wording suits a black-tie evening; plain, warm wording suits a relaxed daytime one.
- Keep the main card clean. Put dress code, directions, your website, and RSVP details on a separate enclosure card, not the invitation itself.
- Be consistent. Use the same register across the whole suite — the save-the-date, invitation, and details card should sound like one wedding.
- Read it out loud before you print. It is the fastest way to catch an awkward line or a missing word.

Frequently asked questions
- What information goes on a wedding invitation?
- The hosts, the request to attend, the couple's names, the date and time, the venue and its location, and a line about the reception. Formal invitations spell the date and time out in full; modern ones use plain numbers. Extra details like dress code and your website belong on a separate enclosure card.
- Who should be listed as the host on a wedding invitation?
- Whoever is formally inviting the guests — traditionally whoever is paying, but today it is a choice. Couples hosting themselves often lead with 'Together with their families'; when parents host, their names go at the top. This tool handles the couple, one family, or both families hosting.
- What is the difference between 'the honour of your presence' and 'the pleasure of your company'?
- By tradition, 'the honour of your presence' signals a religious ceremony and 'the pleasure of your company' a non-religious one. The British spelling 'honour' is the classic formal choice. Both are correct — pick the one that fits your ceremony.
- How do you write the date and time on a formal invitation?
- Spell them out in full, with no numerals: 'Saturday, the fourteenth of June, two thousand twenty-six, at half after four o'clock in the afternoon.' Semi-formal and modern invitations use numbers instead. This generator writes it correctly for the formality you pick.
