Making your wedding invitation work
A wedding invitation sets the tone of the day before a single guest arrives. Couples use it to announce the date, place and formality, and guests keep it to check the time on the morning itself.
What to write on it
- Both names, then the date, ceremony time and venue, in the traditional order guests expect.
- A line on what follows, such as dinner and dancing to follow, so guests know how long to plan for.
- An RSVP date, with a website for details that would crowd the card: directions, hotels and dress code.
One tip
Order a test print before the full run. Paper and ink change a colour more than any screen will warn you, and a wedding is not the place to find out.
