Wedding invitation wording: 20 examples to copy (and make your own)

The invitation text is the first thing your guests will read about your wedding — and the blank page shows no mercy. Here are 20 real examples ready to copy, sorted by tone, written with a digital wedding invitation in mind but just as valid on paper. Swap names and dates, and off you go.

The 5 details no invitation can forget

Before the examples, the checklist: who (your names), when (date and time), where (ceremony and reception), how to RSVP (the link to your website or the QR) and by when (the RSVP deadline). Everything else is style; this is the essential part.

Classic and elegant

1. "With the blessing of our families, we are honoured to invite you to our wedding, on Saturday 12 June 2027 at St Michael's chapel. Please confirm your attendance on our website."
2. "Anna and George are delighted to invite you to celebrate their marriage. We will be expecting you on 12 June at 1 pm. All the information and RSVPs are on our website."
3. "After eight years walking together, we want to take the most beautiful step surrounded by the people we love most. Join us on 12 June 2027."

Warm and casual

1. "Yes, really — we're getting married! And since it wouldn't be the same without you, save the date: 12 June 2027. Everything is on our website — even the bus back."
2. "We thought about it a lot (well, not that much) and we want you there. RSVP on the website before 1 May — the caterer keeps asking."
3. "We wanted to tell you like this: we're getting married! All the info, the map and the RSVPs are on our website."

Funny

1. "She said yes. He still can't believe it. Come see for yourselves on 12 June."
2. "Open bar confirmed. Oh, and we're getting married too. 12 June 2027 — RSVP on the website before the ham runs out."
3. "After an exhaustive selection process, we are pleased to announce we are keeping each other. Event details on our website."

Short, for the Save the Date

1. "12 · 06 · 2027 — Save the date. More soon."
2. "We're getting married. We can't tell you everything yet, but here's what matters: 12 June 2027."
3. "Some dates go in the calendar. This one goes in the heart (and in the calendar): 12-6-2027."

To sit next to the QR on paper

1. "Scan the code and tell us if you're coming, what you'd like for dinner and which song cannot be missing."
2. "Everything you need to know (and confirm) lives in here. Scan it — it takes two minutes."
3. "This code leads to our website: map, times, buses and RSVPs. The paper is beautiful, but everything is in there."

Special situations

1. Intimate civil wedding: "We're getting married with just a few people — and you are among those few. 12 June, 12 pm, Cádiz town hall. Long lunch afterwards."
2. Adults-only celebration: "We love you — and your little ones too, but this time we've planned their best party ever: a night at the grandparents'. Adults-only celebration."
3. Second marriage: "Life gave us a second chance and we do not intend to waste it. Join us on 12 June."
4. Bilingual wedding: "We are getting married / Nos casamos. Pick your language on our website — everything is there in both."
5. Destination wedding: "We're getting married in Tuscany, and yes: we want you there. The website has the recommended flights, the discounted hotel and everything else."

One last tip

The best text is the one that sounds like you when read aloud. Copy the closest one, cut whatever you would never say, and let the website handle the rest: on a Weddara wedding website the welcome text, the schedule and the RSVPs live together — you write once and nobody asks "where was it again?".
