How do you word a wedding invitation for a Jewish wedding?

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

Short answer

Use a Hebrew phrase like "Baruch Ha'ba" (welcome) or a blessing, then invite guests in the couple's and families' names. Include the chuppah ceremony details and mention the reception afterwards.

For a Jewish wedding invitation, you can open with a traditional Hebrew greeting or blessing, such as "Baruch Ha'ba" (Blessed is the one who comes) or "Mazel Tov" if you prefer. Then write the invitation in the usual warm style: "Together with their families, [Name] and [Name] invite you to share in their joy at their wedding ceremony under the chuppah." Include the date, time and venue. If the ceremony is on a Saturday evening after Shabbat, note the time carefully, as guests will need to know when to arrive. You may also add a line about the reception, with a separate time and location if it is different. Some couples include a verse from the Song of Songs or a blessing, but this is optional. For the legal side, Jewish weddings in the UK are usually conducted by a rabbi in a synagogue or approved venue, and the rules can vary, so check with your rabbi or the synagogue office. If you are having a civil ceremony as well, mention that separately on the invitation or on a details card. Keep the wording warm and clear, and let guests know if there is a dress code, such as head coverings for men in the synagogue.
