You want a beautiful invitation for your wedding day but you just aren’t sure of the type of invitation, style, font or theme quite yet. Going all out and either making your own or having them professionally done is a big step, especially if you aren’t quite sure how the final product will look. Well, it is easier than ever to create a few of your sample wedding invitations before you dive head first. By creating some samples first, you will be able to show them to friends and relatives to get some opinions before you make a decision. This not only will help to alleviate the stress of the “unknown” but will give you the assurance that the final product will be exactly what you expected. The last thing a bride to be needs when planning a wedding is the wrong type of surprises. Here are a few easy and quick tips to creating your own sample wedding invitations:
- First, be sure you have a good word processing program (Word is great). Most of them have downloadable templates for wedding invitations. Browse through the selections and pick a few of your favorites and then download the ones you like best. Many of these templates can also be found online and are free to download.
- Find good high quality card stock that you plan to use to print the invites. If you aren’t sure yet which color or style of stock you want, then purchase one ream of each color only. Use the same stock thickness that you plan on using for your invite so you get a good and true picture of the look and feel of the invitation.
- Insert your paper choice into a digital laser printer. If you don’t have a good quality printer, then you can always print a sample copy on plain white paper and take it to a local printer and have them duplicate the invitation on various stocks. The standard wedding invitation size is 8 1/2 x 11 but choose whatever size suits your tastes.
- Finally fold your invitation and trim away any excess. Embellish each invitation differently adding your own personal touches to each so you get a good idea of which ones look best.

Wedding Invitation Text: How to Word the Perfect Wedding Invitation

Writing or creating wedding invitation text can be a little overwhelming and most couples tend to overthink the process when they get started. Keeping it simple Sally(?) (KISS) is a very applicable statement here. The simpler, the better.
No need to fret, wording an invitation can be fun and stress free with a little thought and planning. With so many different family scenarios out there including divorced and widowed parents, a lot of different options are available and make the process a little easier.

First you need to decide what type of wedding you are going to have. Basically it comes down to 2 choices: formal and non-formal.
Regardless of the type of non-formal; casual, destination, small and simple, choosing your wording can be as informal as the affair. However, if you go the formal route there are definintely some rules of etiquette that need to be followed.
With a formal invitation, the wording needs to be as formal as the affair.
- Spell out names in their entirety, i.e., spell out the names of addresses, streets, numbers, avenues, etc.
- Use Roman Numerals rather than numbers as in Paul Jones II.
- Use proper English or the “British” version of the words “honour” and “favour”.
- If it is a Church wedding or religious wedding ceremony then use the phrase “request the honour of your presence”; if it is non-religious but formal then “request the pleasure of your company”.
- The font for formal is usually black ink with an engraved style or script style.
A less formal or casual invitation has a lot more wiggle room. You can express yourself and your style to reflect the theme and feel of the affair. The only rules of thumb are to be sure to include the date and time of the wedding, the location (ceremony and reception) and a map with directions. If there are any out of town visitors, a list of weekend events and nearby locations is a great “add on”.
Stressing over wedding invitation text should be the least of your concerns. Send it and they will come. Do a little research up front, determine the type of wedding you want to have and remember – KISS; the simpler, the better.
