The wedding information sheet has a dual purpose. Firstly, it gives your guests all of the important details which can’t fit onto your matching wedding invitation, which will help them to plan for your big day. Secondly, it allows you to answer the most common queries your guests will have in one big go, hopefully ensuring that you won’t spend precious time repeating the same information to a hundred different people.
Below, we’ve listed the information that your guests will find most useful when it comes to your wedding. Although of course, depending on the location and type of your wedding, this list should be customised to your big day. Here we go!
One of the most important pieces of information to include on your wedding insert is the exact address of the wedding ceremony including the postcode. Also, any venue specific information such as whether parking is available.

If your wedding reception is going to be held in a different location to the ceremony, then you need to include the reception venue’s full address, including post codes. It’s also useful to include a number for the venue in case any of your guests get lost and need some help.
Including details of transport options and parking will reduce both yours and your guests stress levels on the day. Important details to let them know are the nearest train station, local taxi numbers for those who will be drinking and any parking details such as whether cars can be left at the venue overnight and retrieved the next day. If you’re providing transport between your ceremony and reception, then it’s important to let guests know so they can plan accordingly. For those of you having a destination wedding, it’s also important to include details of the nearest airport, flight routes and how guests can get to your venue/accommodation from the airport.
If your venue is particularly difficult to find, then written directions or a small map guiding people from the nearest main road can be a useful addition and potentially reduce the number of phone calls your best man and bridesmaids receive on the day from lost guests.
The Complete Guide To Wedding Invitation Wording
Virtually every wedding will have some out of town guests who will need nearby accommodation, so it is always useful to include the details of local hotels, guest houses, and holiday rentals. Make sure you include a range of different prices and a brief description of each option as well as the website and whether you’ve reserved any rooms.
A brief note on the expected dress code will ensure your guests are appropriately attired whether you’re hosting a black tie and ball gown affair or a more causal summer cocktail party.
Whether you’re inviting children or not it is best to be upfront with your guests well ahead of time so that parents can make appropriate arrangements, especially if they will be staying overnight.

It’s important for your caterers to know the exact details when it comes to guests’ allergies, intolerances, and dietary preferences so that these can be catered for on the day. It is also useful to include details about the bar. Will it be an open or cash bar, and will bank cards be accepted? Important information!
This is the part of the wedding invitation that couples find the most difficult even though they shouldn’t. Buying a gift for the couple getting married is an age-old tradition and one which many guests are happy to adhere to. Having said that the debate is still ongoing about whether it’s appropriate or not to ask for cash gifts. Whilst most millennials are more than happy to contribute money, it can sometimes upset the older generations. Like you and your future spouse have probably already discovered, the best option is usually a compromise. Providing details of your honeymoon fund alongside a small registry of gifts for those who would prefer to purchase an object will ensure everyone is happy. Oh, and don’t forget to include a short sweet poem to soften the request!

Your wedding guest information cards are generally sent alongside a formal wedding invitation and include all the important details which can’t fit onto your invites. They help guests out when they’re planning for your big day, but they also help you to de-stress, since all the big questions are answered in one go! Guest information cards also help you avoid cluttering up your invites.
You should include your venue on your invites. However, you may want to tell guests more about it on your guest information cards such as how to get there, particularly if it is in a remote location. Including a full address with a postcode is essential for making sure that guests go to the right place! We also recommend you include a phone number for the venue in case guests get lost.

Informing guests of the different transport options they can use is something they will really appreciate. We recommend you include the phone numbers of local taxi companies for those who want to drink at the reception, as well as train stations or bus routes for non-drivers. You should also include the parking details of the venue if they are planning to drive.
If you are providing the transport between venues for your big day, let guests know the details of this so that they can plan accordingly. Destination wedding cards should contain flight information, including the local airport and how to get to the venue from there. We recommend you include a few different flight routes that guests can take to make planning easier for them.
If you’re hosting your wedding reception at a hotel, you may be able to negotiate a guest rate for rooms. If you have done this, use your guest information cards to tell guests how to book. You may also want to name some other local accommodation to help them out, remembering to include hotels with different price points.

Listing the timings for all the day’s events is unnecessary. However, we recommend you inform guests of the most important times. This is vital if you’re having separate venues for your ceremony and evening reception, as it helps guests arrange transport. Timings that you may want to include are the meal, speech, and first dance.
If you are also hosting other events before the big day, such as a meal on the night before, include these details here as an open invitation. This will save you having to worry about whether you’ve invited everyone and means that guests won’t feel excluded or confused surrounding the events.
Some people choose to have specific rules at their weddings, with popular rules being ‘no mobile phones’ or ‘no cameras’, as well as the popular recent eco-friendly rules, such as ‘no plastic’. If you inform guests on your guest information cards, they will know that these guidelines are for everyone. Stating your rules in this formal format means that guests are more likely to take them seriously.
What To Include On A Wedding Details Card
Include details of your dress code if you are having a specific theme. This formal request means they are less likely to forget. If you’re having an outdoor wedding, remember to tell guests to bring appropriate footwear as you can never predict the weather!
If you do not want children attending your wedding, informing guests via a guest information card is ideal. This will prevent anyone becoming offended and guests have enough time to arrange childcare for the day. Likewise, if children are going to be at your
