Invitation wording

What to write on an invitation

A good invitation says who the party is for, what it is, when it starts, where it is and how to reply. Keep it short and warm, then add only what guests need: an end time, a dress code, what to bring. Below are wording examples you can copy for every occasion.

Five things every invitation needs

  1. WhoWhose party it is, and for a birthday the age they are turning.
  2. WhatThe kind of party: a birthday, a shower, a wedding, a dinner.
  3. WhenThe date and the start time, and an end time if pick up or the venue needs one.
  4. WhereThe name of the place and the full address, so guests can open a map.
  5. How to replyHow and by when to RSVP, so you know who is coming.
