Fall Wedding Invitation Wording Ideas: Romantic, Formal, and Fun
There’s something about fall weddings that feels extra magical: crisp air, warm colors, candlelight dinners, and cozy celebrations. Over the years, I’ve had so many couples ask how they can bring that same autumn feeling into their wedding invitations, not just through the design, but also through the wording.
Whether your style leans traditional and formal, romantic and poetic, or lighthearted and fun, your wording is the voice of your wedding day. In today’s post, I’m sharing some of my favorite wording ideas that capture the essence of fall weddings while still keeping things clear and guest-friendly.
Romantic Wording Ideas
Romantic wording works beautifully for couples who want their invitations to feel timeless, heartfelt, and a little poetic.
Example:
Together with their families
Emma Grace Taylor
and
Noah James Bennett
joyfully invite you to celebrate their marriage
Saturday, the twelfth of October
two thousand twenty-five
at half past four in the afternoon
The Oakwood Estate • Lancaster, Pennsylvania
Formal Wording Ideas
If your wedding is black-tie or more traditional, formal wording will set the tone right away.
Example:
Mr. and Mrs. William Harrison
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage of their daughter
Charlotte Elizabeth
to
Andrew Michael Roberts
Saturday, the nineteenth of October
two thousand twenty-five
at six o’clock in the evening
The Franklin Ballroom • Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Fun & Casual Wording Ideas
For couples planning a relaxed, cozy fall wedding — maybe a barn celebration or backyard reception — fun wording can match the mood perfectly.
Example:
Let’s eat, drink & get married!
Please join us for the wedding of
Olivia Parker
and
Ethan Ross
Saturday, October 25, 2025
Ceremony at 4 PM • Reception to follow
Maple Grove Farm • Dover, Delaware
Your wording is just as important as your design when it comes to setting the tone of your wedding day. Fall gives you the perfect chance to weave in warmth, tradition, or playfulness depending on your style. If you’re not sure where to start, I love helping couples find just the right wording to reflect their personalities and the mood of their day.
