As you reach the time to design your invitations, you get to
think on the appropriate wedding invitation wording. On which words you would
like your guests to read when they open the envelope. If you write down normal
common words, your invitations could turn out to be quite boring. That is why
creative wording for wedding invitations is very important.
- What to do first
The first thing you must decide on is who is going to invite
the guests to the ceremony. It could be the bride and groom, the bride’s
parents, the groom’s parents, or the bride’s and groom’s parents. This is very
important because the invitation will focus around the person who is inviting.
The bride’s and groom’s parents are the ones that usually
invite the people to their child’s wedding, but it has become very popular now
a day that the bride and groom invite the guests.
- Creative thinking
Once that is determined, you can begin to think on creative
wording. A great technique many
people use for creative wedding invitations is beginning the card with a quote
that represents your marriage, such as: “And the two shall become one..."
If your wedding is going to have a theme, it is wise to
start the invitations with something about it. Let’s say you are going to have
a tropical wedding. You’re invitation could start with something like: “Love drifts
in like a soothing tide on the dry sand". Try to think of something that will
go perfectly with the theme of your wedding.
- Personalize it
For a more personalized wedding invitation it is best to
write down something that stands for you and your partner something that
speaks for you. The words must make your guests remember you when they read
them. It could be a quote that you say a lot or one that describes you
perfectly. If you can’t remember of something like that, try asking your
closest friends and family for suggestions.
- Treat them like kings
As creative as you get when you write down the words
for your invitations, always remember to use words like “the pleasure of your
company" or “the honor of your presence". Try to think of the words in a very
elegant manner, so that when your guests read them, they feel as if like they
were being treated like royalty.

This article has been very helpful! I am getting married in October and want to have a festive-fall, fun, and unique wedding. However, I also have a vision of a classic chic wedding. I have now found a happy middle and can accomodate both tastes. My invitations are unique and original and will set the mood perfectly for the ceremony and reception. Thanks!No, thank you Nataline for your kind words! I feel very happy when people appreciate my work and I truly appreciate you for this kind comment. I hope you live a happy life and that your wedding could be as marvelous and splendid as the bride.
horribly written. i too viisted this thinking it wud b offering some cretaive words..but hmm..am disappointed
Why even submit a comment? Planning for a wedding or event should be fun and original, which means it takes time and helpful hints to inspire YOUR thinking. When you needed help in school, did your mom do your homework for you??? If you are unhappy with the website- maybe Hallmark will have your idea of "helpful" wordings.
Did you notice that the people leaving negative comments can't spell or type? Kinda makes you wonder...I think this is a great site, other than the fact that I don't have a creative bone in my body!!
Thank you very much for your advice Rebecca. I felt this piece was quite helpful. I was also amazed by the people who commented poorly on this article since they wernt able to find ready-made stuff to write on their cards. If you couldnt find it, look somewhere else people. This is for those who really want it to be unique and can spend sometime thinking for themselves for their one important day.
