The Hosting Details Typically, your invitation will commence by identifying the host(s) and extending an invitation to your guests. If the couple is hosting, it’s customary to list their names first, followed by the invitational lines, if your parents are hosting (ie paying!) then it’s traditional to list their names – but it’s definitely not compulsory!
The Couple’s Names Traditionally, wedding invitations included both the first and middle names of the bride and groom. However, modern wedding invites generally omit the middle and/or last names, to make it a bit more casual. If you are having a formal wedding then full names is super classy!
Wedding Date The day of the week and the date are conventionally written in full, although contemporary invitations may use abbreviations or numerals.
Time & Venue Information This section provides details about the wedding location and start times. Times can be presented as numerals or spelled out. If opting for the latter, specifying the time of day (e.g., “Saturday afternoon”) is a nice touch. In Australia, afternoon begins at twelve o’clock, and evening starts at six o’clock. Ensure accuracy by verifying spelling and wording with your venue. Specific spaces (e.g., ‘In the Chapel’ or ‘On the Lawn’) and full street addresses are optional.
RSVP & Dress Code When a response is required without a response card, include relevant information on the invitation. Alternatively, guests can respond in writing to the provided return address, and email addresses are increasingly acceptable.
