How do you write an informal wedding invitation?

An informal invitation should feel warm and personal, as if you are asking a friend round for dinner. Start with something like "Together with our families, we would love you to join us" or simply "We're getting married!" Then give the essentials: your names, the date, the time and the venue. Add the address and any directions or parking notes if you like. You can mention the dress code in a relaxed way, for example "wear whatever makes you happy" or "bright colours welcome". If you are having a party afterwards, say so clearly, and include the RSVP date and how to reply, whether by phone, email or your wedding website. You can also add a line about gifts if you have a gift list, but keep it gentle, like "Your presence is the only present we need" or "No gifts, just you". The tone should match your relationship with each guest, so you might write slightly different invitations for different groups. Just make sure every invitation has the same key facts so no one is confused.
