Your invitation is often the first glimpse your guests get of your wedding. It can feel romantic, playful, traditional or quietly elegant. Start with the atmosphere you want to share, then choose a design that carries that feeling through.

Choose a mood before a colour

Think about the setting: a candlelit hall, an outdoor garden or an intimate family gathering. A floral scene can echo a garden celebration, while an architectural design can suit a more formal occasion. The design does not have to show every decoration you have planned. Give one idea room to stand out.

Put the useful details first

Guests should be able to find your names, date, time and venue without searching. Use the message to make the welcome personal, and put longer stories in their own section.

  • Check the spelling of both names.
  • Confirm the event date, start time and timezone.
  • Include the venue name and a clear address.
  • Add a short dress code if guests need one.

Look beyond the cover

Open the invitation and read through the whole experience. Check the story, programme and reply form as well as the first screen. Preview different screen sizes so that longer names and venue details remain easy to read.

Share a considered welcome

Before you publish, send the preview to the people helping you plan. After publishing, open the link yourself and check the details once more. You can then share the invitation link with a short personal message to your guests.
