What Should a Wedding Blessing Invite Say?
A wedding blessing is a beautiful way to celebrate your love, whether you’ve already had a civil ceremony or are choosing a non-legally binding celebration of your union. While it’s slightly different from a marriage ceremony, the wedding blessing invitation should still reflect the same elegance and attention to detail as any other wedding stationery.
Just like a traditional wedding invite, it must clearly communicate the key details — and, importantly, set the tone for your day. At Dotty About Paper, all of our invitations can be personalised to reflect the nature of your event, ensuring your guests know they’re attending a blessing, while still including all the essential information.
Start with the Essentials
Every wedding blessing invitation should cover the vital details your guests need to attend. These include:
Names of the couple
Date of the blessing
Time the ceremony will begin
Venue and address
RSVP details
If you haven’t already sent save the date cards, make sure your invitation provides everything guests need to plan ahead. This might also include dress code information or whether there’s a reception to follow.
Your wording can be simple and classic, for example:
“You are warmly invited to join us for a blessing of our marriage, celebrating our love and commitment, on [date] at [venue]. Reception to follow.”
Choosing the Right Wording for Your Wedding Blessing
Your invitation is your chance to express your personality as a couple. Since a wedding blessing is not a legal ceremony, you can choose the exact phrasing that best suits your occasion. Popular options include:
“Wedding Blessing”
“Celebration of Our Marriage”
“Blessing of Our Union”
You can also include a line that reflects your story, such as:
“Having tied the knot abroad, we’d love you to join us for a special blessing and celebration at home.”
If you’re holding a reception or evening celebration after the blessing, include those details clearly so guests know what to expect.
Matching Your Theme and Style
Your wedding stationery should reflect the tone and theme of your day. For a romantic countryside celebration, floral designs such as Pink Country Flowers can bring charm and warmth. For modern elegance, consider Pampas Grass or minimalist invitations with soft neutral tones.
At Dotty About Paper, you can personalise your invitations with your wording, colours, and fonts to create something truly unique. You can even choose trifold invitations for a statement piece that includes multiple sections for details and RSVP information.
Don’t Forget the Extras
A complete wedding blessing stationery set can make your planning easier and ensure all your materials match beautifully. Consider including:
RSVP cards – to help guests respond quickly
Guest information cards – with travel details, accommodation options, and directions
Evening invitations – if you’re hosting a separate evening reception
Thank you cards – to show appreciation after your celebration
Matching these to your main invitation design creates a cohesive, professional look that your guests will love.
Personal Touches That Make a Difference
Adding thoughtful details can make your wedding blessing invitations even more special:
Include a meaningful quote or poem
Add a small photo from your relationship or a past ceremony
Use your wedding colours for ribbons or embellishments
These small touches reflect your personality and make your invitation a cherished keepsake.
Plan Early and Send on Time
Send your wedding blessing invitations around 8–12 weeks before your event. If guests are travelling or if your blessing follows a destination wedding, consider sending them even earlier to give plenty of notice.
