The banquet part will take place at the address. What are Save the Date cards? Traditional, formal wedding invitation text style
Compiling a guest list, along with a budget and choosing a concept, should be at the top of your pre-wedding to-do list. Once you have decided on the total number of guests, style, venue and resolved all financial issues, proceed to the details.
After all, without knowing the total budget, you run the risk of spending much more on invitations than you can afford, and without a rough idea of the concept of the wedding, you will not be able to choose the right design.
2. Get the timing right
Inviting guests to the wedding should be about 8-10 weeks in advance, which means it should be in advance (about 3 months before the celebration) - so that you have time to think through the details, agree on the layout and print the invitations.
3. Don't Forget the Save the Date Cards
Save the Date are advance invitations that guests receive immediately after the couple has decided on a wedding date. If you start preparing for the wedding in advance (10-12 months in advance), notify the guests in advance so that those who live in other countries, travel a lot or often go on business trips, can plan their employment.
Such cards are also relevant for weddings that take place in the summer - vacation time. Remember that Save the Date is just an information card, it should only include the couple's names and wedding date. Location, exact time, dress code are indicated only on invitations.
4. Specify who is invited
The invitation should clearly define the composition of the invitees: is it possible to come with a child, take a companion / companion with you. If you do not provide this information, you run the risk of seeing uninvited guests at your holiday. The best way to avoid this is to print personalized invitations that indicate exactly who you are inviting. At the same time, etiquette allows printing one invitation for a couple or a family with a child.
5. Invitation text
It can be strict and concise or more informal - in any case, the invitation should contain the following information:
- Names of the newlyweds
- wedding date
- Place and time of the ceremony
- Place and time of the banquet/buffet
- Date by which the newlyweds would like to receive a response
6. Additional information
All additional information about the wedding is best placed on a separate sheet. It includes:
- Contact information (phone numbers of newlyweds, wedding site).
- Dress code wishes
- Information about whether you can bring children with you
- Detailed directions to the venue of the celebration (especially important for non-resident guests).
7. List of gifts
Choosing a gift for a wedding is a rather difficult task for a guest. Should I indicate the desired gifts in the invitation or not? Each couple decides this question individually. Someone is more practical and does not want to receive three identical bread machines, someone considers the transfer of gifts tactless.
In this case, we advise you to simply orient the guests with the general phrases “something for a housewarming party”, “in a piggy bank for a honeymoon”, but not limit it financially so as not to put them in an uncomfortable position. This information should be placed on an additional sheet of the invitation.
8. Specify the exact start time of the celebration
Inviting guests in advance so that they are sure not to be late for the ceremony, and making them wait is at least ugly. If the beginning of the celebration is planned at 15:00, then indicate this time in the invitation. And if you're worried that someone will be late, schedule a welcome buffet half an hour before the ceremony, so the guests will have time to gather, and if someone is late, he will not miss the most important thing!
9. Show you care
An invitation is also a sign of attention to the guest. Template invitations printed in the same way look indifferent, so take the time to handwrite the names of the guests or highlight them by inserting spellings that are familiar only to the two of you.
10. Check your spelling
Preferably twice. And separately - the spelling of the names and surnames of the guests. It will be a shame if there is a typo in the invitations, the design of which you have thought through so long and painstakingly. In addition, it also additional costs for reprinting.
11. Financial issue
Keep in mind that the invitation becomes more expensive depending on the materials, technical process, individual design. For example, invitations made by hand by a professional calligrapher or artist will always be more expensive than those printed in a print shop.
But don’t worry if you don’t have large sums in your budget for printing: you can find invitation designs on the Internet or create your own. And if you have a small number of guests, you can even make your own invitations. Let them turn out to be imperfect, but they will definitely be!
12. Decoration should match the style of the wedding
The invitation sets the tone for the whole holiday - taking it in hand, the guest should immediately understand what awaits him: a pompous celebration or a friendly party in nature. If you are planning a romantic wedding, immersed in pink peonies, watercolor printing in light shades is more suitable for it, rather than a laconic and strict design. For a rustic wedding, you can use kraft paper, and for a luxurious wedding in a fine restaurant, the invitations should also be luxurious: for example, made in letterpress printing.
13. Write from the heart!
You are inviting people to a holiday, not to a formal event, so try to avoid chancellita, official wording, too strict text. Do not “create an invitation text”, but simply invite each person to the wedding, contact him specifically.
You can choose more classic and concise wording, or write a personal text for each guest (unless, of course, the wedding is small) with memories and emotions. The text of the invitation can even be written in verse, and good jokes can't hurt! The main thing is not to look for ready-made templates on the Internet, you don’t want your wedding to look like hundreds of others, do you?
14. Pay attention to materials
The key to a beautiful invitation is a stylish design and high-quality paper. Its choice depends on the printing method (digital, letterpress, silkscreen, embossed or hand-painted). At the same time, paper can be either plain, thick, or craft, soft, velvet or embossed. In addition, you can decorate invitations with silk ribbons, fresh flowers or wax seals. Or even make invitations from glass, foil, cut wood or fabric.
15. Be bold!
Despite the fact that the structure of the invitations, regardless of the concept of the wedding, is always about the same, you can always show your creativity and create something more original and original. In addition to the classic watercolor stains, you can decorate the invitation with drawings or your photo. After all, the invitation doesn't have to be in text form at all: you can record a video invitation and send it to guests on social media.
16. Don't Overdo Your Design
Be careful with a lot of decoration and don't go for originality: the most important thing in an invitation is the text. If it becomes unreadable due to drawings, watercolors or bright patterns, invitations lose their main function.
This also applies to fashion calligraphy: some fonts look very nice, but they are quite difficult to read, so save them for other details, such as bride and groom cards, which will decorate the shoot.
17. Pay attention to details
The same theme, made on different paper and in different fonts, will look completely different. Therefore, pay attention to materials and key design details. For example, before ordering printed invitations, check the weight and texture of the paper. Small print on textured paper will be difficult to read, and some shades will look different on matte and glossy paper.
18. Changes
Be sure to check with the designer in advance whether it will be possible to make changes to the layout, in what time frame, whether a fee will be charged for this and in what amount. Even if you have already checked the spelling several times, you just might not like the final result for colors or design details. This is especially true for unique designs, such as paintings on fabric or wooden invitations, when you cannot predict for sure what the final result will be.
19. More personality!
Your wedding will certainly be attended by guests of different ages and degrees of intimacy: relatives, girlfriends, work colleagues. Therefore, the text of the invitations may differ slightly. For parents, something sincere, touching is suitable, for friends - in a playful way, for colleagues - a concise, more formal style. As a rule, it is customary to refer to “you” in invitations, but for your close friends, it will be more natural and familiar to refer to “you”.
20. Monitor responses
After the invitations are printed, signed and arranged in envelopes, it's time to hand them to the guests. You can do this in person or send invitations by mail - it is important that guests receive invitations well in advance. And so that you do not get confused about who has already given their answer, and who should still be called, use the table from ours.

In this article, we will pay special attention to such an important point as the text of the wedding invitation.
The text of the wedding invitation can be discreet and respectfully formal. This style is suitable for older people and guests of honor. The text of the invitation can be sincere and warm - for parents and closest people. And, when compiling the text of a wedding invitation for friends, young people can safely afford to exercise wit and come up with something cool.
You can use one or more wedding invitation text templates. But it is imperative that when compiling such a text, several important rules should be taken into account.
Text design rules for wedding invitations
- when issuing an invitation for a couple, the name of the woman should be written first in the appeal, then the name of the man, regardless of which of them is closer or dearer to you;
The words "you", "you", "you", "your", etc. it should be capitalized only if it is a polite appeal to one person, and when referring to several people, “you”, “you”, “you”, “your”, etc. should be written in lower case;
The invitation must indicate the date, time, name and exact address of the place where the celebration will take place;
If the newlyweds wish to see the guest both at the official and at the banquet part of the holiday, then the invitation should contain full information about the start time and venue of each part;
If the guest is invited only to the registry office or only to a banquet, then the place and time of the start of only this celebration should be indicated;
If you plan to hold a themed wedding and a certain dress code is chosen for the event, you should definitely indicate this in the invitation.
Well, now we offer you to consider several wedding invitation templates in various styles and for various categories of guests. These wedding invitation designs will help you decide on the content of your invitations, and if you're also interested in wedding invitation designs, check out.

An invitation letter is a way to invite the addressee to attend a certain event, to be present at any event. An invitation can be expressed orally, but in business relations it is the written form that is common, which has a number of advantages. In the article we offer several sample letters of invitation to participate in an event, conference, exhibition. There is also an example of a written invitation to an interview with an employer and an invitation to cooperate.
In business relations, an invitation letter is an important element in building a trusting and respectful relationship between the two parties. A written offer to take part, visit, watch is a sign of special attention, in addition, it allows the addressee not to forget about an important event awaiting him.
Why do you need invitation letter:
- confirms that the addressee is indeed invited, avoids errors;
- reminds of the time and place of the meeting, the event to which the recipient is invited.
Why written invitation better than oral
- allows you to notify a certain person about any important event, event;
- reminds the addressee of plans, will not let you forget an important event;
- acts as an additional sign of attention and respect - the sender took the time to inform the addressee in writing of the invitation information;
- it is possible to send even to those persons with whom it is not possible to talk on the phone or in person.
How to send invitation:
- transfer personally from hand to hand - bring to the addressee and hand it over, this method allows not only to invite the addressee in writing, but also orally to an event - a meeting, interview, meeting, exhibition, conference, reception or other event;
- send by Russian post, if the event is especially important, then you can send it by a valuable letter with a description of the attachment, however, the sending must be done in advance, taking into account the delivery time of the letter to the invitee;
- send by e-mail - a very simple and convenient way, if the addressee's e-mail is known, this method is often used by recruiters when sending a letter with an invitation to come to a job interview.
How to write an invitation letter competently - design samples
In order for this document to perform its function correctly, it is necessary to provide a sufficient amount of information in it. The information should be of such volume that the addressee does not have any questions regarding the planned event, place and time of its holding.
In order for the address to make sure that the invitation was sent to him, you need to specify the details of the recipient. Usually this information is placed in the upper right corner of the letterhead in the dative case. If this is an organization, then write its name and location, full name and position of the head. If this is an individual, then his full name and address of residence.
Next, indicate from whom the letter was sent. It is important to indicate not only the name of the organization or the full name of the originator and sender, but also contact information, which allows you to ask the author of the invitation letter if you have questions about the planned event.
The text of the letter begins with an appeal. The polite form is used. If this is a specific person, then be sure to indicate his full name or first name, patronymic. For example, “Dear Olga Vladimirovna!” or “Dear Alexander!”. The appeal depends on the type of event, the degree of acquaintance of the originator and recipient. If these persons are not in close acquaintance, it is enough to confine ourselves to the neutral “respected”.
How to invite to an event
- the date of the event - a meeting, conference, interview, exhibition, meeting, official reception, indicate not only the date, but also the exact time;
- venue - the information in the letter should be sufficient so that the invitee has no questions about where to go. It is important to indicate not only the address (street, house), but also additional information - where to go, where is the entrance, which floor, which office, hall. It is also possible to attach a traffic plan to the letter. If necessary, also indicate the type of transport that can be used to get to the venue of the event. That is, the information should be as complete as possible so that the person invited to participate in the event does not wander through the corridors in search of a venue for the event, does not waste time, is not late. Inaccurate information regarding this requisite is disrespect for the invitee, he will have to clarify exactly how to get there, what to ride;
- type of event, its name - it is also important to indicate in the letter of invitation what type of event the invitee expects, if it has a name, then it is written in exact accordance;
- the word “invite” directly, it also specifies what exactly the invitee should do at the specified event - participate, watch, observe, for example, you can invite to speak at a conference with a report, or you can invite other speakers to watch speeches at the conference;
Examples of an invitation letter:
“Dear Anna Dmitrievna!
We invite you to take part in the celebration of National Unity Day on November 4, 2018 at the Golden Alley restaurant at Novosibirsk, st. Dekabristov d.34, entrance from the end of the building.
“Dear Daniel Mikhailovich!
