Put the invitation essentials first
- The couple’s names, written and spelled as you want them displayed.
- The event date and year, start time and relevant time zone.
- The venue name and complete address.
- A clear indication of which ceremony or celebration the invitation covers.
- Any response instructions or contact details guests need.
Review these details together before the design is approved. An attractive layout cannot resolve an uncertain time, an incomplete address or an incorrect name.
Organise several events clearly
If your celebration includes multiple functions, prepare a separate entry for each event: title, date, time, venue and any relevant dress guidance. Explain which events a guest should attend rather than assuming everyone will understand the schedule.
A multi-page website can organise substantial event information across separate pages. If the content is compact, a single-page digital invite may be sufficient. Discuss the structure before commissioning the design.
Make directions and travel information useful
Check the exact map destination, not just the venue name. Add arrival instructions, entrance details or parking information where they are relevant and confirmed.
If guests are travelling, provide accommodation or transport information only when you have checked it. Keep venue addresses and event times consistent across the invitation, maps and other messages you send.
Choose personal and optional sections
- A short introduction or story, if you want to share one.
- Photographs you have permission to use.
- Dress guidance and cultural details that will help guests prepare.
- An RSVP link or response instructions, where agreed.
- Guest FAQs for questions that are likely to come up.
These are planning possibilities, not a promise that every feature is included in every package. The pages, integrations and deliverables are confirmed in your written scope.
Review before sharing the link
Read the wording on a phone, check names and dates, open each navigation link and confirm the venue information. Nominate one person to consolidate corrections so the designer receives a clear response.
Confirm when your website will be handed over and how long it will stay online. An AAVKIRA-hosted invitation normally remains available until one month after the relevant event date unless otherwise agreed in writing.
