• Opening line (With the blessings of the almighty)
• Names of the hosts (Mostly the grandparents of the bride or groom are mentioned here)
• A sentence on extending the invitation to attend a function and of whom (son/daughter/grandson/granddaughter)
• The couple's names in bigger fonts
• Name of the parents
• The date
• The venue name
• Full address of the venue
• Time of the ceremony
• Contact details of the point of contact
• A closing note/mention of directions at the back of the invite

Indian Wedding Invitation Wording Etiquette

No matter whichever style of wedding invitation wording samples you shortlist, there are certain basic wedding invitation wording etiquettes that should be adhered to to provide all the important information to the guests and not leave them confused with questions. Let us break down all the necessary etiquettes that you can follow to ensure that all the details have been sealed in the invite positively.

Opening Line: It can be a Shloka, an excerpt from your holy book, or a romantic quote about love or a wedding.

Who is hosting the wedding?

You can provide the full names of the hosts or simply add salutations along with the surnames, but make sure that you leave no room for spelling errors.

Invitation Prompt: It can be formal, creative, or casual. But an invite must begin by inviting the guests with warm words of joy. Make them feel excited and welcomed already.

Names of both couples—Now, you can simply write the full names or first names of the bride and the groom and leave it at that, or you can include, as an underlined name, the names of the couple's parents or grandparents as well.

Main event details—Always use big fonts when stating important event details like the full date, day, time, and venue. Opt for simple universal fonts instead of cursive or complicated fonts.

RSVP Details—While Indian families prefer to receive RSVPs personally rather than call or meet, you can still add an RSVP number just to be sure of who is attending. You can add a WhatsApp number, a phone number, or even an email ID for the guests to respond to.

Additional Information—Details like a directional map, dress code, venue details, or other important information can either be included at the back of the invite or on a separate leaflet so that the important information is not compressed into smaller fonts.

FAQs about Invitation Wording Templates 

We know that even with unique Indian wedding invitation wording templates, you might still have some lingering questions about adding additional information to the invite. To help you gain more clarity, we have gathered the most commonly asked questions about wedding invite wording. Take a look!

How to word an adults-only wedding invitation?

Here are some ways in which you can send the message across:

1. Hey! It is an adults-only celebration.
2. This invite is for adults aged 21 and older.
3. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate children below 18 years of age. I appreciate your understanding.
4. Join us for an all-adults-only wedding after-party.

How do you request an RSVP through wedding invitation wording?

While RSVP is most commonly mentioned at the end of a wedding invitation, many people miss out on responding. In this case, you can simply add a prompt like ‘We request you to RSVP so that we can make all necessary arrangements for you and your family in advance.’ Or be direct with ‘RSVP is humbly requested on the contact number.’

How to add themes and dress codes to wedding invitations?

You can add details like dress codes and theme insights with every function detail. Or you can even add creative art around each wedding function to give a glimpse of the theme and dress codes.

How do you add multiple venues to wedding invitation wording?

If the wedding ceremonies are taking place at one venue, followed by dinner at another, then both details can be included on a single leaflet only. But if you plan on throwing different ceremonies at different venues, no matter how close they are in proximity, it is always advised to include more pages in the invite dedicated to each one of the venues separately to avoid confusion.

Finalising just the wedding card does not mean that the job is complete. Taking care of Indian wedding invitation wording with a mutual agreement is essential and shouldn’t be taken lightly. Approval of all the participants on the invitee's list is crucial and should be taken seriously.

Striking a conversation with both sides of the family will help you finalise a wedding card that includes all the essential details one would need for the wedding. Above all, ensure the venue and function details are as informative and easy to understand as possible. Regarding the size of the Indian wedding invitation wording font, you can consult the card maker to suggest the size that best fits the card's design. It's all about attention to detail, resulting in beautiful and informative wedding invitation cards sans mistakes.
