How to Choose the Perfect Wording for Your Rehearsal Dinner Invitations

The bridal shower is in the past and the big day is next week. But hold on! There’s one more important event before you say “I do” and should be on your wedding checklist: the rehearsal dinner. The rehearsal dinner is a perfect way to invite your loved ones to an intimate gathering. However, to get the word out about this pre-wedding event, you’ll need to send out properly worded invitations. In this month’s blog, we’ll help you to expertly craft rehearsal dinner invitations.

Key Elements to Include

Although rehearsal dinner invitations don’t have to be as formal or detailed as wedding invitations, they should still provide essential information that guests need to know. Typically, these invites include the couple’s names, the host’s name (if it isn’t the couple), the date, time, and location of the dinner, and any special instructions like the dress code.

Tips for Crafting Your Invitations

Finding the right words isn’t always easy — even if you know which exact details to include. Use these tips to create rehearsal dinner invitations with designs, colors, and trim of your choosing.

  • Keep It Clear and Simple: Avoid overloading your invitation with too much information. Stick to the essentials and ensure the text is easy to read. This doesn’t mean you need to limit your creativity. Use straightforward, easy-going, and casual information.
  • Match Your Wedding Theme: Use a style and tone that aligns with your wedding theme. If your wedding is formal, keep the invitation formal. If it’s a laid-back beach wedding, a more relaxed tone is appropriate.

  • Consider a Unique Option: While the title “rehearsal dinner” is the most conventional pick, don’t be afraid to explore other out-of-the-box options. For example, you can use a creative title like “The Night Before I Do”. This approach adds a touch of elegance and fun to the invitation, making it memorable and unique.

When (and How!) to Send Them

Rehearsal dinner invitations should be sent separately from the wedding invitations about three weeks before the big day. This gives your guests plenty of time to make necessary travel and accommodation arrangements. Also, remember to set the RSVP deadline around ten days before the event to allow enough time to finalize the menu, seating, and other details.

How To Match Your Wedding Invitations to Your Wedding Theme

Your wedding day is one of the most important and memorable days of your life. However, between choosing the right venue and finding your perfect dress, preparing the right wedding invitations to match your big-day theme may not seem like a priority. But trust us, it’s crucial to create a cohesive wedding day and stationery suite. It’s important to ensure that every paper detail aligns with your theme, as it brings your wedding style together. In this month’s blog post, we will help you create cohesive and beautiful wedding invitations from start to finish.

Matching Colors and Fonts

The two primary factors to consider are color schemes and fonts when planning your wedding invitations. Choosing the right color palette is a good starting point as it helps you visualize the aesthetic you want for your special day. For instance, you can think about the types of flowers you want and whether you prefer a lot of greenery, vibrant pops of color, or autumn leaves to create a moody autumn wedding color theme. Then, choose fonts that complement the style of your wedding to create a visually appealing look that will tie your entire event together.

Design Elements and Embellishments

In addition to colors and fonts, consider incorporating design elements and embellishments that reflect your wedding theme. For example, if you are having a summer wedding, consider including seashell motifs or watercolor images of waves on your invitations. If you are having a vintage-inspired wedding, opt for lace accents or antique patterns. These small details can make a big impact and help to convey the overall aesthetic of your wedding.

Personalize Your Invitations

Adding a personal touch to your invitations will make them even more special. Consider including elements that reflect your personalities as a couple. You could feature your monogram, a custom illustration, or even a photo of the two of you. Personalization adds a unique and sentimental touch to your invitations.
