One of the most commonly overlooked aspects of wedding speech preparation is analyzing the audience. Professional speakers will tell you that they generally spend a good portion of their preparation time trying to understand who will be listening to them speak. The reason they do this is that having information about your audience is a valuable asset when you begin writing your speech.

Every year, celebrities set the trends of fashions and hairstyles. Everywhere you looked, you could see celebrities with many different and fashionable hairstyles from short and sweet to long and elegant, from curly or wavy to up-styles. No matter what the style these celebrities were wearing, they made a fashion statement that everyone else followed after.

Once you have decided what type of wedding cake you want and have at least a general idea of the design you want, it’s time to begin visiting bakeries. When you do, be sure to taste their wedding cake samples. Don’t let yourself be swayed by talk about the ingredients they use, taste their wedding cake samples and decide for yourself because, frankly, your guests aren’t going to know if your wedding cake was made from flour imported from a water powered mill on the south bank of a coastal stream in upper Scotland.

Decorations at a wedding do not go unnoticed quite the opposite to say the least. Setting the scene for this special day will no doubt take a lot of careful planning. This part of the wedding is about choice, yours.

This is the third in a series on how to write an Inviting Invitation.  Parts I (Lead With Your Location) and II (State Your Purpose Please) have been posted on the previous two days in the category "Inviting Invitations."

Part III:  WHY DO YOUR GUESTS MATTER?

A third element to consider is "Why are you inviting guests?"  What is it about having others at your marriage ceremony that is important to you?

A poetically paraphrased version of your answers to these questions will enhance your invitation by making your guests feel special because you've actually identified why their presence matters so much to you.  It doesn't have to be complicated, as you will see below.  A few words can go a long way toward making your message distinct. 

My "sample couple" told me that they absolutely "cherish" the friends and family who were being invited, and that having them present for their exchange of vows is actually what would make their wedding day the most "joyful" for them.

The result follows (see words in bold):

There's a place on Earth

1,000 feet above the neighboring sea

where we will gather in the garden of a beloved friend,

next to a grove of Olive trees for good luck,

and among those whom we most cherish.

There,

we will make sacred vows of commitment

in a ceremony intended to

strengthen our experience of life as partners

and our belief in the tradition of family.

Joy-filled we'd be if you will join us.

This is the second post in a series of of how, specifically, to cultivate content for writing a creative invitation. 

Yesterday's post:  Lead With Your Location

is followed here by: State Your Purpose Please

Another means for coming up with unique wording for your wedding invite is to include the PURPOSE of your marriage ceremony.  This might seem obvious, but I know from experience that if we put 10 couples in a room and ask them each "Why are you getting married," we will hear 10 different answers. Consider this question for yourself.  And here are are some other questions to help you get to you personal perspective. 

1.  What is it about getting marriage that appeals to you?

2.  What will it do for your partnership?

3.  What guiding principle or belief do you hold that is informing your choice to become married?

The couple who's invitation I use below stated that they wanted to become married to "strengthen our experience of life as partners and our belief in the tradition of family."

We added this phrase to the beautiful description of their location to create their personalized invitation:

There's a place on Earth

1,000 feet above the neighboring sea

where we will gather in the garden of a beloved friend,

next to a grove of Olive trees for good luck,

and among those whom we most cherish.

There,

we will make sacred vows of commitment

in a ceremony intended to

strengthen our experience of life as partners

and our belief in the tradition of family.

I frequently get inquiries like this one:

"Can you write something about wedding invitation wording?  Many people seem to leave it to the last minute and lose the chance to do something creative..."

Here's some direction, followed by a previously-posted example. (And p.s., it can be done at the last minute and STILL be creative.)

Lead with your LOCATION.

Using the location as the lead into your invitation will establish set the setting for your wedding even before the guests arrive.  Most locations are chosen because they have some magical feeling for the marrying couple. Think about what it is that makes your location of choice magical, meaningful, significant to you.  Make a list of those characteristics. 

Here are some questions that may help you:

1.  What does your location look like? 

2. How does it make you feel when you imagine yourself standing in the very spot you will stand to take your vows?  (Safe? Held in the arms of God? Full of life?  Joyful because there's nothing more that I love than being in a garden full of flowers?  Excited because I'll be standing on the edge of a cliff overlooking the expanse of the blue sea below? etc.)

3.  How did you know that "this" was the place to get married?

4.  Have you been here for any other special milestone in your life? (It's the house where I grew up.  We got engaged here.  My mother and her mother both were married here...)

Now, convey these points in the writing of your invitation.  It will make the invitation so much more alluring and unique.  Traditional wording is fine for very classic, traditional weddings.  But if you've dedicated large quantities of time (and money) to the choice of your location and other elements that will set the stage for the particular kind of magic you want to experience on your wedding day, then use your invitation as a means of saying "welcome" in a way that invites your guests to step onto your magic carpet for a ride unlike any they've ever experienced before.

Sample Invitation using "location" as the lead...

There's a place on Earth

1,000 feet above the neighboring sea

where we will gather in the garden of a beloved friend,

next to a grove of Olive trees for good luck,

and among those whom we most cherish.

There,

we will make sacred vows of commitment

in a ceremony intended to

strengthen our experience of life as partners

and our belief in the tradition of family.

Joy-filled we'd be if you will join us.
