Hi there!
It can seem scary to miss out on important information, but if you check out the "Tools & Resources" page on my blog: lavastationery.com.au/blog you will see how to lay out your invitation.
Things to include on the main invitation:
- Who is invited (if you want to get specific)
- Date of wedding
- Venue of ceremony
- Time of ceremony (make it a little earlier than the actual start time)
- Venue of reception
- Time of reception
- Dress code
- RSVP date + method (if you won't have a separate RSVP card)
RSVP Card
- RSVP date
- RSVP method: Snail mail, email, phone, wedding website etc
Additional Information Cards can include:
- Accommodation details & special deals
- Parking at venue
- Map
- Dress code
- Unplugged ceremony information if you're having one
Wishing Well / Gift Registry Card
Include a poem or paragraph that there will be a wishing well at the wedding. Or provide your gift registry name & code.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions :)
Cheers,
Lava @LavaStationery
Hello,
Apart from the main body of the invite (ie, where, when, ceremony, venue), do you require:
RSVP card
Gift Registry and/or Wishing Well
Accommodation Suggestions
Map or directions
Guest Information (transport/parking information, kitchen teas, etc)
I hope this information assists you and best of luck with your wedding plans.

Although there are a few rules to follow ( especially when your wedding is a formal occasion) it all comes down to Who, What, another Who,Where and When? Wishing Well information, reception details, accommodation details, directions, maps and everything else should be printed onto seperate cards. Who is paying for the wedding - they have to be named, who is getting married, the venue and what time? It is also good to mention the dress code (especially for a formal occasion), you don't want your guests to feel out of place, because of their outfit.
