Let's paint a couple of pictures ... one of a beach destination wedding and another of a private wedding ceremony that includes a bride, a groom, and their closest family and friends. They could be getting married in some far-off distant and tropical land--or they could be right around the corner at a tiny church or at city hall. How do you word the invitation for a beach destination wedding? How do you word the invite if it's a private ceremony with reception later?
Of course, you'll want to tweak, personalize and formalize the wording to fit your style and special circumstances but here are 3 different invitation wording samples for the above scenarios ...
Destination Wedding
The wording on this destination-themed invite includes guests that are invited to both the ceremony & the reception.
Love Airways- Flat Tea-length Wedding Invitation
Private ceremony, same day reception
The wording on this invitation is for reception-only {same day private ceremony}. Here, the couple prefers to wed in a private ceremony with only their closest friends and family in attendance. They will celebrate with the rest of their family and friends later on at their reception. They will still need to send RSVPs with their invites.
Signature of Love- Flat Square Wedding Invitation
Private ceremony, later reception
A little bit different ... this invite wording acts as a festive destination wedding announcement. It also invites guests to a reception about 3 weeks after the ceremony- to celebrate the couple's marriage.
Tropical Paradise Flat Rectangle Wedding Invitation
As always, I hope this wording helps! Let me know if there are any other scenarios we can help you with ...
