Wedding invites

Hello,

Ooh! that's exciting. One of my favourite parts of planning was designing our invitations.

In ours, we had:

Invite - Hosting couple (my parents), our names, name of church, date, time and afternoon tea reception to follow

Venue cards - Addresses of the church and golf club, plus information about the parking situation for both, as well as description of local public transport stations

Hotel list - Hotels in the local area with a range of prices (for out of town guests)

Taxi firm list and numbers

Card concerning an unplugged ceremony (we want our photographer to take photos rather than our guests)

Card with our contact details on

RSVP - Box for guests to complete their name, box for dietary requirements/allergies and tick options for acceptance or decline

We also included a Song request card so that guests could listen to a song of their choice throughout our afternoon tea reception (we aren't having a DJ, we're making our own playlist)

BIGGEST TIP I can give you is to number your invites and record somewhere which number relates to which guest as sometimes they don't write their names on the RSVPs and this really helped us to manage our guest list.

Along with the formal invite, we included a separate A4 piece of paper that included all the other relevant details such as travel advice, menu choice, how to notify of dietary requirements etc.

I created a website on here (Hitched ) which includes all of the relevant information, timings, Google map - location of hotel, booking of hotel, RSVP with menu options , a page fir questions and all other info that I thought they might need.

My invitations were very simple and included date , time, venue and the website address to RSVP. Made them cheaper too.

I am just making outs as well and i have made a website for the bulk of the info so i included our names, date & times and location and provided a link to the website for further info and to rsvp
