The text of wedding invitations and other information to be included in the invitations should be formulated as elegantly and succinctly as possible, but without omitting any essential details. It is clear to everyone that the wedding invitation should specify the location of the celebration, the time and date, but there are other details that must not be forgotten. Get acquainted with the recommendations prepared by the wedding stationery studio Miilu papery for the successful creation of wedding invitations.

Information about gifts

It is no secret to anyone that most often the young couple wants to receive money as a wedding gift.

I offer some ideas on how to say it beautifully in the invitation.

1. If you want to make us happy with a gift, we invite you to wrap it in an envelope and be part of the realization of our dreams.
2. We will be happy if you choose to wrap the gift in an envelope to help fulfill our dream of...
3. With graphic icons

Information about flowers

Often, several journeys are scheduled on the wedding day, and during this time flowers are passed from hand to hand, transferred from car to car and wither before they reach the vases.

Maybe the next day you are going on your honeymoon and the flowers won't be able to make you happy at all, and will be left at the homes of parents or ushers.

If you don't want to give up flowers altogether, it is possible for your guests to ask you to give them flowers of a specific color or variety, so that between the ceremony and the start of the celebration, the flowers will be handed over to the decorator and included in your wedding day design. Or simply, a coordinated flower bouquet will delight you at home.

Here are some options you can ask your guests to give instead of flowers:

• bottle of wine (I recommend specifying what type of wine you like to enjoy);
• lottery ticket;
• books (I recommend creating an online list of books you would like to receive);
• donations to the animal shelter (I recommend thinking about a place where guests can place donations away from the celebration location).

Daily plan

In the invitation, you can add an approximate plan of the day, indicating the main points of the day - marriage ceremony, first toast, welcoming the new couple, dinner, first dance, etc.

A detailed wedding plan gives guests an idea of the wedding day and guests know what to prepare for. However, you can also keep the wedding plan a secret and reveal it to your guests only on the wedding day.

Children at your wedding

Perhaps you want your wedding guests without children . There can be various reasons for this:

• Security. For example, the wedding is planned near the water and the parents will have to pay full attention to the safety of the children and they will not be able to enjoy your wedding.
• Finance. Children must also have a place at the table, meals, and a place to sleep. Often the cost is similar to that of a single adult guest. A wedding is probably the most expensive event in your life. Adults-only weddings are a way to keep wedding costs down.
• And as selfish as it sounds, you want to be sure that none of the children you bring along will cry at the most inopportune moment.

Again, remember that this is your wedding and it should be exactly how you want it to be, putting all shame aside and asking your guests to follow your rules on your special day.

How to politely indicate in the invitation that you want guests to come without children:

1. So that everyone can enjoy the evening carefree, let's take care of a nanny who will stay at home with the little ones.
2. In order to welcome the morning with dancing and without worries, we invite you to take care of a nanny who will look after the children at home.
3. We want to dance with you until dawn, so we invite you to take care of a nanny who will stay at home with the little ones.
4. The wedding celebration will take place near the water, so for safety reasons, please take care of the opportunity to come to the wedding without children.

Dress code

In the wedding invitation, you can specify the desired tones that the guests should follow when choosing an outfit or accessories for your wedding.

Why ask guests to follow specific tones?

• So that the guests fit harmoniously into the wedding day design.
• To have a coordinated tonal palette in group photos.
• So that the guests are not in very bright clothes that stand out too much and distract from you, such as bright red, orange, etc.

Be sure to specify 4-5 desired colors so that each of the guests can find the color that best suits them.

Map of the venue

It is possible to add a stylized card to the invitation, in which to mark ceremony and celebration places . It will be a modern and symbolic addition to your wedding invitation. For example, the place of the celebration may not be indicated separately, but the guests must read it from the map.

You can indicate the coordinates of the place of the wedding ceremony in the invitation. This idea will look especially beautiful if the ceremony is planned outdoors, for example by the sea or in the forest.

Catering

You can ask your guests to let you know of any food allergies, special diets and other restrictions so that everyone is well fed and happy on your wedding day.

If you plan to serve food in individual portions at your wedding, another tip to keep your wedding catering budget down is to ask your guests to choose their food before the wedding day. You can add a menu to the invitation, or to keep it a little secret, you can ask your guests to choose a meat/fish/vegetarian main course.

R.S.V.P.

( repondez, s’il vous plait ) fr. - please answer

It is mandatory to indicate the date by which the guests must notify their arrival in the invitation. It is also recommended to specify the way in which the guests should give this information to you, and specify the e-mail, phone number.

You can also ask ushers, the wedding planner or someone else to pass this information on, just remember to include it in the invitation so guests know who to contact.

The invitation can also include a QR code that "takes" guests to a specially created survey form or your wedding website, where guests confirm their participation in your wedding. It is important to find out not only about the arrival of the guests, but also about the overnight stay, so that you can plan the accommodation of the guests accordingly. This is the time to ask your guests to make a food choice if you have asked for it in the invitation.

Personalized invitations or address to guests

Guests will feel special if the invitation includes a greeting and is addressed directly to them. However, remember that your words play an even more important role in the invitation.

• If you want to include both the address and your names on the same card, the names of the new couple can appear as a signature at the bottom of the card.
• There can be a separate card with the names of the new couple and another card with the address to the guests and the text of the invitation.
• The guest address may be printed on the envelope or on a separate note attached to the envelope or invitation.

I hope the information you just read will make it easier for you to create your invitation content
