  • Hey all

    I'm putting together my wedding invites and including an info sheet with bits and bobs on, so far i have:
    Allergies and dietary requirements - do we need to know of any

    Venue - their address, number and about car park

    Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the ceremony so you can be seated.
    Please have sent your RSVP by 1st March 2013.
    Our address and contact numbers

    Anything else I'm missingor should add on?


    Personally I think asking people to arrive early is a little insulting... most people with any common sense won't turn up on the dot. Just my opinion.

    You should add a map of the area, and directions from church to reception venue if it is a church wedding.

    You should add the Best Man's contact number for anyone getting lost on the day.

    State whether children are invited or not.

    Include details of gift list registration.

    Local hotels, websites, starting prices.

    Taxi firms and contact details.

    Best tip I can pass on from my experience - give no extra info!!

    We didn't and, as in the days before wedding websites etc and like all invites we've ever had, people have just gone and found things out themselves as needed.

    My friend gave tons of details on hers and has been inundated by annoying questions ever since...!!


    I agree here. All that is needed is the invitation. Some of the suggestions are insulting to me. Why on earth would I need to be told to arrive before the time of the ceremony, that's just rude to tell people.

    I can bear pain myself, he said softly, but I couldna bear yours. That would take more strength than I have -
