How to Choose a Quote for Yourself?

Having eighty options in front of you, picking the one and only can be overwhelming. Before copying the text for your graphic designer, ask yourselves three simple questions:

1. Does the quote fit the style of the invitation? A laid-back text about stealing the TV remote will look quite odd if you print it on heavy, gold-foiled paper with a wax seal.
2. Will guests understand it out of context? Overly complex metaphors or very niche inside jokes from your favorite shows might leave your parents and grandparents confused about what you actually meant.
3. Do you both relate to it? A quote on an invitation represents both of you. Make sure the sentence appeals equally to the bride and the groom.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Where should the quote go on the invitation?

Most often, quotes are placed on the inner, left-hand side of a folded invitation or at the very bottom below the main text (in the case of flat cards). Sometimes couples also print it on an extra vellum wrap wrapped around the whole invitation suite.

Does the quote have to be in English?

Absolutely not! If you have a favorite foreign song or movie, you can use the quote in its original language. Short phrases in French ("La vie en rose") or Italian are elegant and add a sophisticated flair.

How long can an invitation quote be?

For aesthetic and typographical reasons, it's recommended that the quote doesn't exceed two, at most three lines of text. A text block that's too long will visually overpower the most important details, like the date and location of the ceremony.

Can I use song lyrics on the invitation?

Yes. Fair use/private use copyright laws typically allow for using short snippets of musical works for private purposes, including printing them on personal invitations for family and friends. You don't need to report this to a performing rights organization.
