MARIECARD GUIDE
Wedding invitation wording guide
Wedding wording works best when it sounds like the couple and makes the invitation clear. Separate the personal message from dates, directions, and contact details so guests can read both comfortably.
A simple message structure
Open with a short image or memory, announce the wedding, and close with a sincere invitation.
Use examples as references, but add a detail from your own relationship and your normal voice so the message is original.
Separate emotion from logistics
Write the date, time, venue, parking, meal, and contact details as clear factual information rather than decorative prose.
Numbers and proper names should be easy to copy and verify on a phone.
Final wording questions
Are names and family titles written as both families expect? Is the time unambiguous? Can guests who cannot attend still send a message?
Answering these questions keeps the wording warm without sacrificing clarity.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to use a fixed template?
No. Templates are useful starting points, but your own experience and voice make the message more meaningful.
How long should the greeting be?
On mobile, two or three short paragraphs are usually easier to read. Put logistics in separate sections.
