Couple’s Wedding Shower Invitation Wording

The wedding invitations come in an overwhelming variety of designs, color combination types, sizes and shapes, so when the right time comes you might find it quite difficult to choose just one design, unless you know perfectly just what you like and need.

The text can either be written by hand, but this is a costly procedure, printed or engraved by using thermography with its raised letter effect; the last method is the cheapest and by using an intricate calligraphy styles or old letter fonts, you might obtain some special and interesting wedding invitations.

Since we mentioned above about the wedding information, you might as well know that there are two wording options used in issuing the wedding invitation: by using the informal language or simply put, to issue an invitation using your own words, and the formal wording, based on a long-lasting wording etiquette.

The invitation should contain pertinent information about the wedding, either if we are talking about the non-traditional or formal language: the name of the bride and the name of the groom, the names of the wedding hosts could be mentioned or not but you have to know that this suggestion should be taken in consideration if you opt for the traditional wording.

The rest of the information is about the location of the wedding ceremony, sometimes you can add a printed map or some directional signs, the date and the time; the RSVP can be written at the bottom of the wedding invitation in the form of a phone number or on a separate card.

Makes sure to always read several times, with fresh eyes, the written information on the wedding invitations to detect any spelling mistakes or the use of wrong addressing forms or honorifics that may lead to some future embarrassments with your invited guests. Seal the invitations in their double or single envelopes and try to send to with minimum six to ten weeks in advance, before the actual wedding day.

Some of the above tips can be used for the invitation as the wedding shower, but remember that in most cases the wording is less strict and formal, so you can issue the invitation by being creative with words.

The shower is basically a gift-giving party, organized for the future bride, sometimes even for the groom or for both of them, by close friends or relatives, before the actual wedding day.

The couple’s shower invitation should contain information about the bride and groom, mainly their names, the name(s) of the wedding host(s), the location and address of the party, the theme of shower or gifts, for example love gifts, lingerie shower, garden shower, etc., where is the bride registered and if the shower party is a surprise so make sure to let your guests know about that and at what time the celebrated couple will be arriving.
