How to Choose the Right Quote for You

With a hundred suggestions before you, choosing the one perfect quote can feel overwhelming. Before you copy the text into your designer's project, ask yourselves three simple questions:

1. Does the quote match the invitation style? A casual text about stealing the TV remote will look odd on thick paper with gold foil and a wax seal.
2. Will guests understand it without context? Intricate metaphors and niche jokes from TV series might leave parents and grandparents confused.
3. Do you both identify with it? The quote represents both of you. Make sure the sentiment appeals equally to the bride and groom.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Where should I place the quote on the invitation?

Quotes are most often placed on the inner, left side of a folding invitation or at the very bottom below the main text (for single-card invitations). Sometimes couples also print it on an additional vellum wrap around the entire invitation.

Does the quote have to be in English?

No. If you have a favourite foreign song or film, you can use the quote in its original language. Short phrases in other languages (e.g., "All you need is love" in English) are generally understood by most guests today.

How long can a quote be on an invitation?

For aesthetic and typographical reasons, it's recommended that a quote does not exceed two, or at most three, lines of text. A block that is too long will visually dominate the most important information, such as the date and venue of the ceremony.

Can I use a fragment of a song on an invitation?

Yes. Copyright law generally allows for the use of short fragments of musical works for private use, including printing them on personal invitations for family. You don't need to worry about copyright for private use.
