But as you plan every detail for your big day, don’t forget the importance of the wedding invitation.
These small cards are the first taste guests will get of your wedding and can convey the style, tone and atmosphere you want to create.
The right elements of the wedding invitation
If you’re planning your wedding anywhere in the world other than your home, we’re sure you’ve made an endless list of things to plan, decide, and organise.
Among these things is the wedding participation, it is not among the first steps to be ticked off the list but it is very very important.
The participation should be done after you have chosen the date, the venue and the mood of the event.

Remember: the wedding invitation is the wedding’s calling card, it cannot be chosen at random!
Here is what you should consider when writing the invitations for your wedding abroad.
Precise indications of the wedding mood
Wedding invitations should reflect the essence of your wedding abroad.
Whether you are getting married in a romantic Tuscan villa or on a sun-kissed beach on the Amalfi Coast, make sure that the design and text of your wedding invitations convey the atmosphere and style of your destination.
Choose colours, fonts and styles that evoke the location and mood of your wedding.
Provide clear and complete information
As your guests will have to travel to attend your wedding abroad, it is essential to include all the necessary information in your invitations.
This could include the date and time of the ceremonies, the exact address of the venues, transport details and accommodation suggestions.
Make sure the information is clear, concise and easy to find.
Have a website supporting the wedding invitation
Consider creating a wedding website to accompany your wedding invitations.
This site can be a valuable resource for your guests, offering additional details on local activities and attractions, travel tips and even language guides to facilitate their experience during their stay.
Furthermore, a wedding website can be a place to share photos, updates and important information in real time.
And between you and me… it will save you an avalanche of enquiries, emails, phone calls, and messages in a bottle from guests (believe me, they will reach you wherever and however you want)
Add a personal touch to your wedding invitations
Wedding invitations are an opportunity to express your gratitude and share your joy with friends and family.
Add a personal touch to your wedding invitations by writing a sincere message or including a unique detail that reflects your relationship or wedding destination.
This can be a personalised drawing, a meaningful quote or a special photo.
