Wedding Invitation Wording

We know that some of you are quite creative and have thus taken it upon yourselves to spruce up your wedding invitation wording. While there’s nothing wrong with taking a bit of initiative to improve your wedding invite, there are some boundaries that must be acknowledged. Below we will be touching on some of the things which you simply can’t include in your wedding invite wording. Although we understand that some of you may want to take your invites to the top, you need to exercise some self control and take your guest’s expectations into consideration.

For those of you that don’t know, including any sort of vulgarity in your wedding invitation wording is an absolute no-no. Not only may some of your guests find the vulgarity offensive, but the wording will detract the attention of recipients from the main goal of the invite. Vulgarity will misconstrue the purpose of your wedding invite and will thus not complete its intended task. If you have plans to include some sort of vulgarity in your wedding invitation wording, we recommend making adjustments to those plans. Substitute the vulgarity with alternative phrases or words which guests won’t find offensive. You’ll gain much more by speaking in a clean fashion than you will by showing guests how much of a potty mouth you are.

As if vulgarity doesn’t deter the purpose of a wedding invite enough, grammatical and vocabularic errors can significantly deteriorate the quality of a wedding invite. As we’ve said several times, it’s paramount that your wedding invitation wording is checked numerous times for lapses in grammar and vocabulary. These types of mistakes are minor yet inexcusable. Not only do they knaw at the quality of your wedding invitation wording, but they also leave guests with a bad impression. With that said, as you’re preparing to send your wedding invites to the printer’s office, have a well-versed friend check that the invites are flawless in both a grammatical and vocabularic sense. As a precautionary measure, take your wedding invitation wording and type it into your favorite word processor. If you notice that the program sees several mistakes, take immediate action to correct the problems.

Finally, you want to refrain from including information which holds no value to guests in your wedding invitation wording. You might be curious as to what qualifies as unneeded information. To be straight-forward, we’re referring to information which in no way will affect your guest’s actions leading up to the wedding. Let’s say that the site of your reception will be crowded on your wedding day and thus guests may have to find parking. Don’t specify in your wedding invitation wording that parking is available at a lot down the street for $5. This is absolutely unnecessary. You have to remember that your guests are smart people and will undoubtedly figure out their parking arrangements.

Now that you’re done glancing over the above, you should know some of the things which are better left out of your wedding invitation wording. Whenever you’re in doubt about whether you should include something in your wedding invitation wording, we recommend asking yourself whether the information will be of any use to guests. If not, strike it, otherwise, briefly mention the info.
