Add the basic information every wedding invitation needs
Make sure your wedding invitation conveys all the basic and important details to your guests. When is your wedding, where is it, do they need to RSVP by a certain date, and what if they can’t come? Of course, make sure there’s plenty of room for both your names and the big news!
Other important details to include on your invitation may include RSVP instructions, attire, and any different reception locations. See WeddingWire for a full list of wedding details that are often overlooked that you may want to include in the text of your wedding invitation.
Add and edit text
1. If you’re using a template, double-click the text you want to edit.
2. If you want to add new text, click ‘Text’ in the left-hand menu. Choose the type of text you’d like to add.
3. Type in amazing wedding news and messages.
Choose beautiful wedding fonts
It’s important to choose the right fonts for your wedding invitation. Nobody likes a normal-looking font like Times New Roman on the front of an invitation for such a special day!
Calligraphy is really popular for wedding invitations. Choose a calligraphy-style font or one that you both love.
Here are a few ideas for beautiful wedding fonts: Clicker Script, Dr Sugiyama, Engagement, Princess Sophia, or Qwigley.

Get your wedding invitations professionally printed
While you can print your wedding invitations at home, we recommend going to a professional printer and having them print it with high-quality images paper. Choose from the below paper when you send them your design:
