How to word wedding invitations in the UK
Start by deciding who is hosting. This decides the opening line. Couples hosting often write their own names. Parents hosting usually say 'Mr and Mrs Smith invite you'. Divorced parents can each be named, or one parent can host alone. Choose wording that feels right for your family.
Next pick a style. Formal wording uses full titles and 'request the honour of your presence'. Relaxed wording can use first names and 'invite you to share our day'. Religious couples may add a line about a service. The tone should match your venue and guest list.
Tips for every family set-up
Keep it simple and clear. Guests need the who, when, where and how to reply.
- Name both partners, not just one.
- Give the full date and time.
- Write the venue name and address.
- Add an RSVP line with a date.
- If parents are divorced, list them on separate lines.
- For stepfamilies, include only the parents who are hosting.
- Religious ceremonies may mention the service after the reception.
When to send your invitations
Send invitations about three months before your wedding. Save-the-dates can go out earlier if you like. Guests need time to plan travel and time off work. Include an RSVP date a few weeks before the wedding so you can finalise numbers. If some guests are travelling from abroad, send them earlier. Check every name and address carefully before you print. Your wording is the first thing guests see, so make it warm and clear.
