So, you’ve finally found the perfect wedding invitation and now you need help with your wedding details card wording. Look no further! We wanted to share with you some tried and true examples of invitation etiquette for all types of weddings. We have information on each detail from the ceremony card, RSVP, accommodations and wedding weekend event card to anything else you may need to include. In this post we will go over the most common wording examples for wedding details cards.

HOW TO WORD A WEDDING details CARD 

Last but not least, the wedding details card! Our bundled invites come standard with a second insert card that you may use for any additional type of wording you may need. The most common ways our clients use the second info card is to print accommodations/travel information, reception details, a website link, wedding weekend event cards, etc.

Second Insert Card Options

Use an Accommodations card if…

You have a lot of guests that are traveling from out of town. Always make sure to mention if there is a group code or room block, as well as the final date your guests will need to reserve by. If your guests need to know about any shuttle or specific transportation information, an accommodations insert is the perfect way to do so. Listing your wedding website can also be helpful for additional information and direct links to the hotels.
