Wording guides

Copy-ready wording with the etiquette behind it, and sources you can check.

  • Wedding invitation wording

    Copy-ready wording for every host situation: parents, both families, the couple, divorced or late parents. Formal and casual versions.

  • Same-sex invitation wording

    Inclusive wording for two brides, two grooms, and nonbinary couples, with “together with their families” and formal variants.

  • Adults-only wording

    Polite adults-only wording, where it belongs (website, not the card), and envelope addressing that makes it clear.

  • Dress code wording

    What each dress code means and the one-line wording to put under your invitation and on your website.

  • RSVP wording

    Formal and casual reply lines, the three-to-six-week rule, and how an online RSVP replaces the M-line card.

  • Save-the-date texts

    Short save-the-date texts for close family, friends and coworkers, plus destination-wedding versions with travel notes.

  • Invitation text messages

    Sample texts for iMessage, WhatsApp and group chats, with reminders and a thank-you after the wedding.

  • Video vs PDF vs website

    An honest comparison of cost, what guests can do with each, and when paper still wins, with no numbers we cannot back up.
