What is a wedding invitation card?

A wedding invitation is a formal announcement sent to guests inviting them to attend a wedding ceremony and celebration. It serves both practical and ceremonial purposes—providing essential details like date, time, and venue while also setting the tone and theme for the wedding day. Traditionally printed on elegant stationery, modern wedding invitations increasingly take digital forms, making them easier to customize, share, and produce without the costs of professional printing.

Wedding invitations typically include the names of the couple, a warm invitation message, the ceremony date and time, venue location, and RSVP information. The design often reflects the wedding's style—from classic and elegant to rustic or modern—through careful selection of colors, typography, and decorative elements like ornaments and flourishes.
