Digital Wedding Invitation Wording: 14 Examples You Can Copy
Key Takeaway
Wording for digital wedding invitations: formal, casual, parents or couple hosting, second marriages, destination, adults-only, plus the email and text to send.
Use the example as a starting point
The names, venues and events below are fictional wording examples. Adjust the host line, invitation scope and dates to match your actual celebration. For traditional formal wording, consult Emily Post's guide.
Try a rendered wedding wording example to preview the words in a template and start an invitation. This article also covers the email or text that carries the link.
The structure every example follows
- Host line. Who is inviting.
- Request line. "request the honour of your presence" (ceremony in a place of worship), "request the pleasure of your company" (formal, secular), "invite you to celebrate" (relaxed).
- Names. Traditionally the bride first, but order however you like.
- Date and time. Spelled out for formal, numerals for casual.
- Venue and city.
- Reception line.
- RSVP line. On a digital invitation this is the deadline plus the button.

11. Ceremony and reception at different times or places
Put the ceremony in the invitation block. Add a line "Reception at seven o'clock, The Orangery" and a schedule section below. If some guests are invited to the reception only, send them their own invitation that says so, rather than asking them about a ceremony they are not attending.
12. Dress code
Black tie · Cocktail attire · Garden party (flat shoes advised) · Festive · Come as you are.
The message that carries the link
Because a digital invitation arrives inside an email or a text, that message is part of the wording. Keep it personal and short.
