Wedding invitation wording
Each line of the card has its own box, so the classic order is easy to follow:
| Box | Formal | Casual | Save the date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Top line | Together with their families | We're getting married! | Save the Date |
| Names | Anna Smith & James Brown | Anna & James | Anna & James |
| Line under the names | request the pleasure of your company at their wedding | Come celebrate with us | are getting married |
| Date and time | Saturday, September 18, 2027 · 4 pm | Saturday, June 12, 2027 · 3 pm | September 18, 2027 |
| Place | Rose Garden, Hill Park, Springfield | Lakeside Barn, 40 Mill Road | Springfield, Illinois |
| RSVP | Kindly reply by August 1 | RSVP to Anna by May 1 | Formal invitation to follow |
Parents as hosts: put their names in the top line (*Mr. and Mrs. Robert Smith invite you*) and use *to the wedding of their daughter* under the names.
Tip: "request the honour of your presence" is the old wording for a ceremony in a place of worship; "request the pleasure of your company" is used for every other place.
When to send wedding invitations
| Card | Send it |
|---|---|
| Save the date | 6–8 months before (8–12 months for a destination wedding) |
| Wedding invitation | 6–8 weeks before |
| RSVP date on the invitation | 3–4 weeks before the wedding |
| Engagement party | 3–4 weeks before the party |
| Bridal shower | 4–6 weeks before the shower |
| Rehearsal dinner | 3–4 weeks before, or with the wedding invitation |
Give yourself time to collect the replies: the caterer and the venue usually want the final number about two weeks before the day.
Printing tips for wedding invitations
- Card stock in white, ivory or cream (80–110 lb / 216–300 g/m²) looks right for a wedding. Check that your printer can feed it.
- Choose 2 per sheet for a large card, or 4 per sheet for a small one. Cut along the light dashed lines with a paper trimmer for straight edges.
- Print one test sheet on plain paper first and check every name, date and the spelling of the place.
- The Greenery, Elegant frame, Wedding rings and Art deco designs print on white, so they look good on ivory card too.
- For the envelopes, print address labels from your guest list with Address Labels from Excel.
Frequently asked questions
Is the wedding invitation maker free?
Yes. It is free, with no sign-up and no watermark. Print or download as many as you need.
Can I make a digital save the date?
Yes. Choose Save the date, then press Download as a picture. You get a PNG of one card, ready to send by text, WhatsApp or email.
How do I add the reception details?
Use the Extra note line — for example *Reception to follow at Riverside Hall* or *Dinner and dancing to follow*. For a long list of details, add a separate small card.
Can I write the date in words?
Yes. Every line can be changed. Type *Saturday, the eighteenth of September, two thousand twenty-seven* if you like the formal style — the text gets smaller to fit.
Do the fonts look like real wedding invitations?
Choose Wedding script for a flowing calligraphy look, or Elegant for a classic serif. The details lines are printed in a clean, easy-to-read font.
Is my invitation private?
Yes. The PDF and the picture are made in your browser and nothing is uploaded. Your last card is saved in this browser, so you can print more later.
