What to write about gifts on wedding invitations
What information to include in your Wedding Invitations
[Music]
hi my name is Susie from the wedding
station company of the digital tardes
and I really wanted to share with you
what you need to include in your wedding
invitations now the first thing to
remember is that everyone's weddings are
different so what information one couple
might need might not be the same for you
so I've put together an overview of all
the information needed have and the
different ways to lay out also all of
the text examples that I mentioned can
be found in a PDF guide that I've
created which I'll put a link for you to
download okay so the day time invitation
it can be split into three sections
you've got the main invitation the guest
information and the RSVP card so let's
get started with the main invitations so
the first thing to consider is who the
invitation is actually gonna come from
is it going to come from you or is it
going to be more traditional and come
from your parents alternatively it could
still come from you but together with
your parents or together with your
families this way the invitation still
comes from you but you've included them
okay so next is how their names are
going to be written are you going to
include just your first names maybe your
first names and surnames or did you want
to have them widdle reins in there to
think about how formal you want the
invitation also in case you were
wondering the invitations usually do
have the bride's names first
even though invitations may not be as
traditional as they used to be coming
from the bride's parents this layer has
continued but remember is entirely up to
you these are your invitations so it's
about what suits you best as a couple
now comes the main wedding details so
the day of the wedding the address
details for the venue and the time it
will go off at the time you could just
put the time in the ceremony but you may
also want to include the time when your
guests are arrived so even though the
wedding may start at 2:00 p.m. they need
to be sitting ready at 2 p.m. so you may
wish to say
1:13 and to finish this section you
could include the time that the evening
celebration finishes so maybe characters
at midnight okay so next we have the
guest information so this is everything
that your guests need to know about the
wedding so you may want to include a map
and directions possibly some
accommodation details for local hotels
or even the venue if they're able to
stay there
also remember that some venues have
tie-ins with local hotels so they may
have discount codes or reference codes
that your gifts may need when booking
you may also want to include taxi
numbers or transport details if these
are being supplied to your guests also
is there a type of confetti that your
guests can use or maybe you need to tell
them that confetti is not allowed at
your venue at all all these details
would go in this section okay so lastly
are you thinking of having a gift list
or maybe a gift poem asking for money or
vouchers I've put a list of some of the
nicest poems that I've found within the
invitation guide that can be downloaded
so you can have a read through those
I've also included some sentences for
you if you're unable to invite children
so there are different ways that you can
want this okay so the third thing is the
RSVP card now you may just wish to give
details of how your guests can RSVP to
you so on this evening example we have
just an email address and opposed to
address which has been given for all of
our daytime invitations usually come
with a simple RSVP card that your guests
can pop in the post back to you now for
the details on that RSVP card firstly
don't forget to add a date you wish for
your RSVPs to be back this thing gives
you a chance to chase at any of your
guests you her and her background so if
you are having a separate RSVP card you
may just wish to know if they can attend
or not but you may also need some
additional information from them does
your venue allow you to give your guests
options this example lists the menus and
allows your guests to choose which they
would prefer you can then receive this
Bank and correlate all of the different
options you may also want to include a
space for if they've got any dietary
requirements so you can pass this
information on to your caterers you may
also need to know if they'll require any
cease on transport that's being provided
or if they need to reserve a room in a
hotel these are all options that are
very specific to your wedding and what
information you need to get back also
don't forget the fun bits - like you may
want to ask your guests what song would
get them on the dance floor this will
also help them putting together your
even song choices - so no matter the
layout or the style of your invitation
these have been the main things that you
may wish to include on your data or
invitations add the little touches we
also create simplified evening
invitations - these can look and feel
exactly the same remember that your
evening guests may not always need all
of the information that your day yes - I
really hope that this video guide has
been useful in working out what you need
to include within your wedding
invitations if you have any questions or
you'd like to just take a look at some
