When it comes to planning your wedding invitations, one of the biggest decisions isn’t just the design — it’s what you actually say.
More couples are moving away from super formal wording and choosing something that feels more them. Whether that’s relaxed, fun, or still slightly traditional with a modern twist, your invite sets the tone for your whole day.
If you’re stuck on what to write, here are three informal wedding invitation wording examples you can use or adapt 
1. Simple, Modern & Straightforward
Perfect if you love clean design, minimal styling, and want your invite to feel effortless and contemporary.
Example:
Together with their families
Emma & Jack
invite you to celebrate their wedding
on Saturday 12th July 2026
at 2pm
The Byre at Inchyra, Perth
Followed by drinks, dinner and dancing
Why it works:
Clear and easy to read
Still feels special without being overly formal
Works beautifully with modern, minimalist stationery
2. Relaxed, Fun & Full of Personality
Perfect for couples who want their guests to smile the second they open the envelope.
Example:
We’re getting married!
Sophie & Ben
are tying the knot
and would love you to join the party
Saturday 12th July 2026

The Byre at Inchyra, Perth
Good vibes, great food & lots of dancing to follow

3. Traditional (With a Softer, Modern Feel)
If you love a classic style but don’t want it to feel too formal or outdated.

Emma & Jack
request the pleasure of your company
at their wedding
