Happy Almost-Weekend Day! I’m really excited for the weekend because my mom is coming to town to babysit Charlie so my hubs and I can go on a roadtrip for the weekend for our 3 year anniversary. We’re headed up the central coast to Cambria. If anyone has a favorite spot, restaurant, etc. please share!
Since last week’s tips post was all about making and cutting your guest list, I thought a good follow up to that would be how to word wedding invitations. I found this infographic to guide you, and I think you might find it really helpful.

I had a hard time wording my wedding invitations at first, because my father is deceased and my mother is remarried. But I didn’t want to include my stepfather without including my dad, and including both got wordy and complicated. And I didn’t want my invitations to seem too formal or stuffy. So my husband and I opted to go with “together with their families.” I also loved our last line “dinner, dancing, and delight to follow.” For more of our wording, you can see my invitation below.

If you liked my invitations, you can see more of my paper goods here, all done by Tilde Designs (aka my bestie and maid of honor!). She’s good you guys – she doesn’t have much up on etsy right now because she already has so many orders, including my brother’s wedding stationery.
I hope this guide on wording your wedding invitations is helpful to you, and if you need advice about a specific situation and how to word your invitation (like I had) feel free to leave it in the comments and I’ll answer or find an answer for you!

Thanks so much for sharing my infographic 🙂
My pleasure! I think it is so helpful to wedding planning brides 🙂
Great Advice! So important to get the wording of the wedding invitations correct!
Poetic phrases adds a wonderful finish to wedding invitations.
I really don’t want little kids at my wedding, but I feel like if we were to say something about “appropriate aged children” or something then there would be people who STILL brought little kids. How do I politely tell our friends and family that we want a black tie/formal wedding with the little ones at home?
