How to Word Your Invitation: Names, Families and Address
In which order should names be written, where do the family names go and how short can the address be? Practical tips for error-free invitation wording.
Invitation wording should be short but complete. Guests should see at a glance who is inviting them, when and where.
The essentials
- The couple's names.
- Family names for both sides.
- Date, day and time.
- Venue name and address.
The invitation line
A short, warm sentence is enough. Browse our ready-made texts on the “Invitation Wording” page.
Common mistakes
- A weekday that does not match the date.
- An overly long address; the venue name and city are often enough.
