Insert Wording
It is easy to become confused when deciding upon the wording for the inserts for your wedding invitations.
The main consideration for the wedding invitation wording is how formal or informal you want to be. For a traditional style wedding invitation the wording is determined by who is hosting the wedding and their relationship to the bride.
Of course, you don't have to follow any rules at all, your insert text can take any form - we'll just help you make it as clear and well designed as possible.
You can replace the phrase 'honour of your presence' (tends to be used for religious ceremonies) by 'pleasure of your company'.
We have listed below the most commonly used insert texts, which will help. However if you need further advice or can't find what you are looking for then please contact us.
