A wedding invitation should include all the necessary information that guests need to know about the wedding. Here is a list of what to include in a wedding invitation:

• Names of the hosts
• The couples names
• Date and time of ceremony
• Ceremony and reception location
• Attire details
• Wedding website address
• RSVP card
• Extra information about the venue
• Guest name
• Guest address
• Return address
• Extra postage

In addition to the main wedding invitation, there are several different pieces that can make up a wedding invitation suite. Here is a list of what can be included:

• Save-the-dates
• Invitations
• Response cards
• Reception cards
• Wedding programs
• Menu cards
• Place cards
• Thank-you cards
• Belly band
• Inserts for additional information

It is important to note that not all of these pieces are necessary for every wedding. The size of the guest list, the timeline of the wedding day, and the budget can affect what to include in a wedding invitation. Couples can choose to send inserts along with their invites, like RSVP cards or a map illustration of the wedding venue so guests know what to expect. Including all of this information will also mitigate work on the couples end, as they wont have to answer the same questions over and over again from attending guests.
