Frequently asked questions
What do you write on a wedding invitation?
Who is hosting, the couple’s names, the date and time, the ceremony and reception venues, the dress code, the RSVP deadline and, if you like, one line about gifts. One main line of wording is enough.
How do you say no kids on a wedding invitation?
With one clear, kind line and by addressing each invitation to the exact guests invited, so the RSVP only offers the seats you planned.
