This may be a silly question, but I've been looking at a lot of templates for wedding invitations, online and on various wedding and stationery websites, and none of them seem to actually have space for the guests' names... for example they say "[Bride] and [Groom] request the honour of your presence at their marriage on XX date at XX place"... So I was wondering what other people have done.. do you use that sort of wording and then handwrite the guests' names on the back? Or do you word it slightly differently?

Also do we need to mention in the invitations the fact that there will be a cash bar at the evening do?

Hi

We are nowhere near invitation time so I can't help on the first bit. In terms of the cash bar, is it cash only or can guests use their cards. If it's strictly cash only I would definitely let guests know that.

I'm planning on wording it something like this:

Bride & Groom would like to invite: XXX to their wedding at ... on ...

I'm making ours myself, and keeping them quite informal. I'll be printing out the main words and then leaving a gap to handwrite the names of the guests.

My friend who is getting married this year did very informal invites, with no guest names on, so I guess it's not essential, and can keep printing & time costs down, but I think it's a nice personal touch to have names.

I would definitely mention that it is a cash bar.
