Wedding Invitation Wording: First word on the great event

Indian wedding has always been a fun, frolic and fiesta for the family involved and guests who attend the grand event. Everything from invitation to reception to honeymoon has a stroke of splendor. As real wedding ceremony starts with invitation, I will tell you about the wedding invitation wording.

Gone are the days when people used to send simple invitation cards to their relatives, friends and acquaintances. There was an age when elders of the family used to send wedding invitation cards to the concerned – most of them were relatives and well-wishers of the family, and friends of bride and groom. But now the trend has changed, and brides and grooms have taken the rein in their hands, after all they are going to marry, and not their parents.

Drafting an invitation is not a child’s play for any couple. The copy should look a statement you make about your D-Day and at the same time, you want to communicate everything in a single note: names of your parents, venue, date, time, address and other stuff. The language you use tips off the wedding's level of formality, informing guests what to expect and to wear. So here is a standard wording sample:

Because you have shared in

our lives

by your friendship and love, we

Vikas

and

Himani

together with our parents

invite you to share

the beginning of our new life

together

when we exchange marriage

vows

Sunday, the nineteenth of May

Two thousand two

five-thirty in the evening

The Grand Bhagwati,

Ahmedabad – India

Reception to follow

Be Creative

Love can make you a poet, and you can use your poetic excellence in drafting your invitation cards: use the most attractive language with catchy words and phrases. If possible, coin new words. You can also use funny language to tickle the ribs of recipients. But, you should send such invitation cards to your friends and colleagues only. Use formal style while you are sending invitation cards to your relatives and acquaintances.

Create a Wedding Website

A personal wedding website is a great way to share all your wedding details and memories with your friends and family. You can not only invite your near and dear ones but also can share all your stories, events information, photos, maps, videos and more with your friends and preserve your wedding website forever. More importantly, it’s ultra-cool and unique b’coz it’s e-invitation card.

You can choose your wedding site according to the theme of your wedding.

All in all, your wordings should sound convincing to the recipients; they should feel the warmth of your heart by your words only.

Email Wedding Invitations - Funky, Fast & Fabulous

The influence of internet is so widespread that the world feels paralyzed if it is cut off from the internet even for a few minutes. Generation Y is cool with internet and in net, they have got their new friend, philosopher and guide. And the level of addiction is so increased that today, young guys and gals want to send e-invitations to their friends and relatives for their wedding. The idea catches the fancy of young couples with the extensive use of internet connection at home and offices too.

So friends, before you set to blast email invitations to your near and dear ones, let’s check out how e-invitations can work wonders for you.

Email invitation is the coolest way to say you are taking a plunge in the wedding well. People love something new. They are fed up with all the same wedding invitation cards with hackneyed phrases and graphics. Give them something new, out of the box, they would like to read and reply also. They would also love to show their inbox to their friends also.

 

No other medium can offer you so fast and cheap delivery as e-invitations. You can reach out to all your friends and relatives in no time. Moreover, you get immediate reply also from the recipients. Don’t forget to put RSVP link on your e-invitation. So you can manage your guest list without any hassle.

The graphical and flashy presentation gives your e-invitation a glittering effect. Your email invitations can beat the glossiest paper that can make a hole in your pocket. You have got innumerable design options with customizable colour choices. With e-invitation, you are free to phrase your wedding invitation wordings. If you can add music to your e-invitation, it will be an audio-visual treat to the guests. The all new funky and flashy look is sure to dazzle the recipient.

Ensure that your e-invitations have a print option so that your guests can have a hard copy with all instructions and directions at hand.

You just can’t forget an RSVP option.

There are plethora of free e-invitation sites and many include pop ups. Therefore, there are all chances of your email getting blocked out as spam; so ensure that you are using reputable sites. An e-invitation template will be a better option as it will not cost you much. This will also make certain that your e-invitations are received to your guests and they are not deleted as spam mails.

If you are planning a wedding, you will need to consider the demographics of your guests. There may be some who are not net savvy and many are afraid of viruses, spy ware and unwanted emails. If you want to fire e-invitations, send out to your young colleagues and friends.

When all's said and done, your e-invitation should sound convincing to the recipients; they should feel the warmth of your heart. And if you need help of any e-invitation consultant, I am here.

Wedding Invitation Tips

Recently a friend invited me to his wedding. He called beforehand and had mentioned that I'd be receiving a wedding invitation. I got it two days hence and it seemed to be a pretty grand affair, beautiful card and excellent wording (more about that in a later post). However, after reading thru' I was confused. He had mentioned my name in the wedding card but not of my sister, who he knew was visiting. While I knew him just well enough not to be offended, I was confused nevertheless.

Huge wedding, beautiful card, well-worded and delivered. And yet, thanks to the faintest of mistakes, I wasn't feelin' right...

Wedding Invitations, especially when it comes to our Indian shaadi, are probably one of the most laborious tasks, and easily one of the most important. So, here are a few tips for you to keep in mind, while you do yours.

Why does it matter?

A Wedding Invitation is the first preview to your wedding. And first impressions go a long way. Your guests are probably going to take a few days off & spend a few thousand rupees to be at your wedding. And a good well-delivered card will well make it worth the hassle for them.

When?

With schedules getting busier these days, the most respectful thing to do for your guests, is to give them enough time. Start shopping for invitations at least 3 months before the wedding. You'll always find tons of excellent local shops offering some great variety to choose from.

For out-of-town guests, be sure to send out your invites at least 4 to 6 weeks before the wedding date. If your wedding falls around a major festival, you might want to send them even 8 weeks in advance. Always follow up your mail with a phone call to confirm receipt.

It is always a good idea to do your wedding date announcement sooner than later. And of course, nothing beats a wedding website to do so.

How?

Take a guest count and engage all your family members in the process. Then add 10% more cards to the final count, so you have some for the ones you missed or to preserve a few as keep-sake.

It’s always a good idea to maintain a list of guests and their addresses in a diary. If you, like us, are not a paper person, then be sure to use the guest-list tool from our home page. You can keep a count of your guests, maintain their addresses, collect their RSVPs (through your wedding website) and track your invitation status.

Always include a return address on each outer envelope. This way, undeliverable invitations will be returned to you (this is a non-issue if you are couriering). Also, always have a few extra outer envelopes – in case of addressing errors (believe me, it does happen ).

Encourage your guests to RSVP their attendance. Getting a perfect count of your wedding will save you a lot of money – in accommodations, food and drinks. You can either include a separate self-addressed RSVP card or list your wedding website address in the invitation card and have your guests RSVP through the wedding website.

Finally, if your guest list is going over-budget, it might be a good idea to separate them into a “must-invite” and “nice-to-invite” lists. As you get “No’s” or "Regrets" from the former, you can start sending out invites to the latter.

Oh yeah, I did ultimately take my sister along to the wedding. And we thoroughly enjoyed it. Cheers!
