One of the most common questions we get from our brides is "What wording should I use." Although there are so many guides about wording out there, today's won't be a regurgitation of formalities or common wording options, but instead unique wording options real brides have used over the years.
We really believe in showing off your personality as a couple through your wedding suite, and this definitely includes your wording from save-the-dates through your thank yous.
Before we break this down, these are just a FEW of the unique wordings we really like and think stand out from the crowd. If you have something unique as a couple roll with it. Afterall your wedding day is all about you two as a couple, so make it fit!
so put it on your calendar
In our eyes, Save-the-Date cards are the beginning of your wedding suite. Everything from save-the-dates through thank yous should be a breath of the same air. So go ahead an have fun and show off those personalities starting here.
Here are a few examples of some of our favorite save-the-date wordings. Remember you don't need to say too much here! Its main purpose is to let your guest know where and when your wedding will be held.
Our Favorite Unique Wording for Save-The-Date cards:
1. FYI, you have plans...
2. August Twenty Fourth 2019, we're getting married...
3. We'd love for you to join us on...
4. We set the date...

6. We are getting married {month, day, year}. We'd love you to join us.
On pretty paper
Your wedding suite often contains many pieces in order to communicate everything your guest need to know about your wedding and all the details and events that surround it. For this post, we are going to cover the basics of your invitation, rsvp, and detail cards. However, there are many more items that may be included such as your rehearsal dinner card, brunch card, map + directions, accommodations, etc.

Your invitation is typically the most formal piece of your wedding suite, but that doesn't mean it has to be stale, boring or common. So here is our take on some fun ways to be a little more formal.
Our Favorite Unique Wording for Wedding Invitations:
1. You inspire us. You ground us. You fill us with endless joy and gratitude. We would be honored and privileged to have you join us as we exchange vows.
2. Because you have shared their lives with your love and friendship we joyfully invite you to celebrate
3. With full hearts we invite you to join us as two love birds become husband & wife.
4. It is because of your love, support & friendship which has guided and inspired us that we invite you to join us as we exchange our vows.
5. Please join us for a weekend getaway in celebration of our marriage
6. {Bride and Groom} warmly invite you to share in celebration of their marriage

Most RSVPs are rather plain and frankly not exciting. That doesn't have to be your RSVP though. We love adding graphics for food choices, or couples who want to know their guests song request.
Our Favorite Unique Wording for Wedding RSVPs:
1. ¿Sí o no?
2. Happily accepts | sadly declines
3. Can't wait to party at the wedding | unable to attend (and very sad about it)
4. yes! Woudln't miss it. | no. sorry to miss it!
5. ____ out of ____ guest(s) will attend
6. Yes! We will have our dancing shoes on | No, Sadly we'll have to miss out on the fun
or join us for brunch
Although this card is sometimes optional, we find that most of our couples need at least one extra piece beyond the invitation and RSVP. Cue a lovely details card that lets your guest know about your wedding website, where to find accommodations or even some things to do while they are in town.
Our Favorite Unique Wording for Wedding Detail Cards:
1. Find all the details at: meandyou.com
2. Drinks on us!
3. All the weekend details: meandyou.com
4. Here is the who, what, when, where and why for the weekend.
5. Unplugged and Adults Only
