The Core Anatomy of a Wedding Invitation

Regardless of style, every wedding invitation must communicate the following clearly:

Who is hosting: Typically the couple or the parents.
The request to attend: Standard phrasing like "request the pleasure of your company."
The names of the couple: The star attraction!
The date, time, and venue: Stated explicitly.
RSVP details: A link, phone number, or deadline.
