Other Things to Consider
DRESS CODE
If you’d like to include some helpful dress code information for your guests, you can do this at the bottom of the invitation. Dress code details are required if your ceremony is black tie. Keep in mind the environment and potential weather concerns as well – if your ceremony will be on sand, for example, you might say, “Flip flops will be provided for the ceremony” or something similar.
NO KIDS, PLEASE!
It’s totally ok to say “no kids, please!” Your guests will understand. To do this, you can include the line, “This invitation is extended to adults only”, “Our reception is for adults only” (if children are allowed at the ceremony but not the reception), or simply, “Adults only” at the bottom of the invitation.
IT’S OKAY TO HAVE FUN
Not into traditional? It’s completely fine to throw out all the rules and get creative with your wedding invitation wording — as long as your invitation contains the necessary information (who, when and where). Every couple is unique; ultimately, you’ll decide together what’s best for your event.
