How do I put a date on an invite?

The traditional UK style is to spell the date out in words, which looks formal and elegant. For example, "Saturday, the fifteenth of June, two thousand and twenty-five". This is common on classic invitations. If you prefer a modern or simpler style, you can write "Saturday 15 June 2025" or "15.06.2025". Whichever you choose, be consistent across all your stationery. Avoid using "06/15/2025" because that is the American format and can confuse UK guests. If your wedding is in a register office or approved venue, the date is fixed when you give notice and book the venue, so check that before printing. For a church wedding, the banns or licence will confirm the date. If you are having a religious ceremony that is not legally binding on its own, such as a nikah, you may also have a separate civil ceremony on a different date. In that case, put the date of the legal ceremony on the invitation, or clearly state which date is which. Always double-check the day of the week matches the date before you send anything out.
