What should you put on a wedding invite in the UK?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12 · For parents

Short answer

Include the couple's names, the date and time, the venue address, and the dress code. Add RSVP details, a wedding website link, and any extra events like the reception.

Your invitation should give guests everything they need to plan. Start with the names of the couple, written clearly. Then the date, including the day of the week, and the time the ceremony starts. Give the full venue address, not just the name. Add the dress code, for example smart casual or black tie, so guests know what to wear. Include an RSVP date and method, whether that is a website, email or phone. If you have a wedding website, put the link on the invitation. Mention if there is a separate reception venue, and give the time guests should arrive there. If you are having a religious ceremony, you may include the name of the church or place of worship. For civil ceremonies, you can note that the ceremony is non-religious. Add any practical details, like parking or coach pickup. If children are invited, say so. If not, say adults only. Keep the wording warm and clear, and check for spelling mistakes before sending.
