Create Botanical Wedding Invitation

An invitation with room to breathe

A wedding invitation begins with two names. Here, botanical branches frame them without competing for attention, while the arch brings a gentle architectural shape to the card. The restrained composition suits a garden ceremony, an intimate restaurant wedding or a countryside celebration. Choose the palette that feels closest to your flowers and stationery rather than trying to match every decoration.

Finding the right balance between formal and personal

Use the wording to explain the celebration, rather than describing every part of the wedding. A traditional invitation can spell out the date and include the hosts in the first sentence. A more relaxed card can begin with the couple and a direct request to join them. Either approach belongs comfortably inside the botanical frame. Decide together whether to use full names, familiar first names or a mixture, and keep that choice consistent with your other stationery. If your guest list includes people who know only one of you, full names can make the announcement clearer. You can acknowledge family warmly without making the opening difficult to read.

Deciding who is inviting your guests

For a celebration hosted by the couple, start with your names and a direct invitation to join you. If your families are hosting together, acknowledge them in the opening line. A useful starting point is: "Together with our families, we invite you to celebrate our marriage." Read it aloud; the best wording sounds like something you would actually say.

Three ways to invite your wedding guests

Use these ideas for your card or the message you send with it. Adapt longer examples into a short phrase for the form's limited text fields.

From the couple

Olivia and Alexander invite you to join them as they exchange vows and begin their next chapter together.

With their families

Together with their families, Olivia and Alexander request the pleasure of your company at the celebration of their marriage.

A relaxed celebration

We are getting married! Join us for our vows, a beautiful meal and an evening with the people we love.

Ceremony first, celebrations afterwards

Give the ceremony location and arrival time clearly. If the reception follows elsewhere, use a short note to explain the change of venue and put longer travel directions on your wedding website. Check the spelling of both names together, confirm the date with the venue, and send a trial PDF to each other before printing. Browse the wedding save-the-date and rehearsal dinner designs in the collection if you are planning the whole sequence.

Your wedding proof, line by line

• Confirm both names, including any middle names or accents.
• Use the ceremony date and the time guests should arrive.
• Check whether the venue name needs a room or building.
• Add a reply deadline and a contact guests can actually reach.
• Test the wedding website address before printing the card.

Pair the botanical artwork with your paper

The branches and arch are deliberately light, so a clean print matters more than a heavily textured surface. Try the PDF on plain paper first and inspect the fine lines before committing to your card stock. Select the single 5 by 7-inch output for an individual card, or a landscape A4 or US Letter sheet for two full-size copies with trimming marks. Print at actual size so your invitations fit the envelopes you selected. The PDF is supplied at its finished dimensions without a bleed extension; check that format with a print shop before placing an order. Keep one approved proof as your reference copy.

Questions about your botanical wedding invitation

Can I use this for a civil ceremony?
Yes. The botanical design is suitable for a civil ceremony, a religious wedding or another wedding celebration. Write the hosts and invitation line in a way that fits your occasion, and use the venue fields for the actual ceremony location.

Where should I put a separate reception address?
Keep the main venue details clear. A short reception note can fit on the card, while a wedding website or accompanying message is better for another full address, travel instructions and the rest of the day's schedule.
