Designer Stationery Sydney, Wedding and Engagement Invitations Sydney - Letter Bird Lane

Wording Info

Below are some common examples of the different ways to word your wedding invitations. You may wish to use the phrases as a guide or you may wish to write something completely unique, the choice is yours!

Many of Letter Bird Lane's designs are either all in lower case or upper case. We will adjust your wording to fit the design, though if you would prefer certain words/names to begin with capital letters, this can be adjusted during the proof rounds of changes.

Please also write 'and' or use '&' when supplying your text.

Some of the designs have the Guests names placed first, before the main body of text. You may like to keep this position and even have 'Dear' before the name/s; or you may opt for placing Guests names in another position. Generally they appear after the line, which reads or is similar to 'request the pleasure of your company'. If this is your decision, please type "(guest name)" where you would prefer when entering your wording into the text field, so that we can accommodate for the names into the design.

If you are unsure and would like some help with your wording, or to receive further wording guides for other family situations such as divorced or widowed parents etc. please do not hesitate to contact us at info@letterbirdlane.com.au and we will be happy to give you some other alternatives.
