Wording Guidelines for Wedding Invitations!

We hope that you find the following information on wording guidelines and layout for your Wedding Invitations helpful!  Please remember that these are only suggestions and we welcome any other layout or design ideas you may have for your own Invitations. After all, the most important thing is that you and your fiancé are happy with them and that they are "perfect" for your wedding!  
Invitations are the focal point of your Wedding Stationery and should set the style and tone of your Special Day.  If your wedding is less formal or non-traditional, feel free to play with the wording to make it reflect your wedding style.  If, however, your wedding is formal and more traditional it is recommended that you word your Invitations accordingly.

Please remember to visit our Examples of Verses page for more ideas on wording your Wedding Invitations.
