What information goes in a wedding invitation?

I am engaged and will be sending out my own personal wedding invitations. I am fairly new to the whole wedding planning thing and I am not sure what information needs to go in the invitation? I know date, time, ceremony location, reception location, registry information. Someone I work with mentioned a RSVP card? I don't really know what that is. Am I missing anything?|||You'll want to know who is coming to the wedding, so give your guests a way to respond (rsvp) to your invitation. If you don't want to include a separate RSVP card, you can instead provide an e-mail address for guests to respond to. It's not a traditional, but its your wedding, so do what you want.





Other important info to include in addition to what you listed above would be the bride and grooms names and their parent's names. You can also include directions and an itinerary of what times things will be happening ( i.e. - ceremony 6:00pm, cocktails 7:00pm, dinner 8:00pm)|||Who is getting married, when they are getting married, where they are getting married. What type of ceremony (formal, semi formal or casual) where the reception will be held, and where they are registered.





Best of luck!





(An RSVP card is a response card to let your guests accept or decline the invite. These should be placed with the invite in the envelope and have their own return envelope with a stamp already attached!)|||All of the above except don't mention your registry details. You can set up a free wedding website and list the website on your invite, but I hear you should never mention gifts on an invitation. Here is a pretty cool tool that helps you with phrasing the text of the invitation based on different elements like the style of the wedding (casual, formal) etc.

Its a formality that will help you keep track of your guest list and your budget; its actually pretty important.





If you are unsure about doing a card, put an email or phone number down on the invite and ask to have people respond (whether they are attending or not) before a certain time.|||This page describes all the various types of wedding stationery.
