What to Write on a Wedding Invitation Card?

A wedding invite message should be thoughtful and full of hearty greetings. But there are a few essential Indian wedding invitation messages that are (almost) mandatory to add. Here are elements to use in your wedding invitation wording.

Host Line

In Western countries whoever pays for the event is the host. But Indians usually put their parents' or grandparents' names in this section.

Request / Invitation Line

The wedding card starts with a beautiful invitation request. It can be a modern wedding invite wording or traditional. That is up to you. Here are some examples:

• Request the honor of your presence,
• Invites you wholeheartedly,
• Requests the pleasure of your blessings.

Name of the Bride and Groom

The names of the couple should obviously be in formal wedding invitation wording. Moreover, if the invitation is from the bride's side, then her name should be mentioned before the groom's name. And if the invitation is from the groom's side (for reception), then his name goes first. Apart from this, if the invitation is being sent from both sides, in that case as well, the bride's name goes first. However, it is good to seek blessings from the forefathers and thus mention their names in your wedding card message.

Parents and Grandparents Names

When we talk about wedding invitation wording together with their families, grandparents' names are mentioned if you want. And as far as parents are concerned, their names are written with Mr. and Mrs. or Smt. and Shri.

Information Line

This section of your wedding invitation text deals with functional details like dress code, theme, RSVP, etc.

Gifts

Your wedding card can also comprise the information wherein you mention the wedding gifts, as in whether you need them or no gifts for your ceremony.

Apart from the other gifts, select the perfect gift for your partner. And don't hesitate to experiment with the best wedding gift ideas.

Wedding Invitation Wording Etiquette

Before you really get into wedding invitations, have a look at this wedding wording etiquette. It will help you to write the perfect wedding invitation. You will surely get a great idea about it. Come check it out.

Be concise:

One thing is sure your guests have all the required information to be a part of your wedding ceremony. But please be careful, overloading it will make you miss out on the important details. That is why it is important to have clarity. So, dear readers, please ensure to mention every important detail.

Consider the Host:

It is important to consider who is hosting the event. Wedding invitation wording includes a person who is hosting the event. It is a great move when you acknowledge everyone who is contributing in some way or another to the event. Whether it is your parents or your relatives, it will show them that you are valuing their efforts.

Wedding Invitations Templates for 2024

You can have simple wedding invitations with casual wedding invitation wording or traditional wedding cards with creative Hindu invitation wording. It depends on the theme of your wedding; and the vibe you want to reflect. I have added some wording templates for you.

Formal Indian Wedding Invitation Card Wording

As most of us follow the formal traditional system more, let's start with that. Please however don't take the format as a rule. Do as you please.

Mrs. Arti and Mr. Mohit Sharma
request the pleasure of your company
at the marriage of their daughter
Neeta Sharma

Intimate Indian Wedding Invitation Wording

An intimate wedding is something where people invite only close people. If you are writing a wedding invitation text message for friends or very intimate people, you don't have to abide by the format. You can write it like this instead:

You are invited

Mohit and Naira!
While we desired a big fat

destination wedding.
We want to invite you to Goa

Traditional Wedding Invitation Wordings

Formal and traditional cards are very similar. Still, I will give you an example for understanding the wedding invitation message from parents better. This example is of wedding invitation wording with late grandparents, but you can also make some changes and use it as parents of the bride and groom.
