What to say in a digital wedding invite
Wording for online wedding invites, from formal to relaxed, plus the practical bits people always forget to include.
By The beMYN team
Couples tell us the wording is the part they procrastinate on longest. Which makes sense. You've been planning for months and suddenly you have to sum it all up in three lines that your grandmother and your college roommate will both read.
Here's what I've seen work, sorted by how formal you want to be. Steal freely.
- “Together with their families, Priya Shah and Daniel Okafor request the pleasure of your company at their marriage.”
- “Mr. and Mrs. Martins invite you to celebrate the marriage of their daughter, Ana, to Leo Park.”
- “Please join us as we exchange vows and begin our life together.”
- “We're getting married! Come celebrate with us.”
- “After seven years and one very patient dog, we're making it official.”
- “Join us for vows, dinner and far too much dancing.”
- “We're keeping it small and we'd love you there.”
- “A quick ceremony, a long lunch. Bring your appetite.”
- “It'll be over in ten minutes. The party after won't be.”
Don't forget the practical stuff
Pretty wording gets people excited. Clear details get them there on time. Make sure the invite covers the start time, the address, what to wear, and whether kids and plus-ones are welcome. On beMYN, dress code and parking go in the After RSVP section, so guests see them once they've said yes instead of everyone scrolling past them first.
If your headcount is fixed, set a capacity and let plus-ones count toward it. It saves a lot of awkward conversations later.
Send the formal one too, if it matters
Plenty of couples send a digital invite to everyone and a printed one to a handful of relatives. There's no rule. The link is for convenience and RSVPs; the paper is for the fridge.
