How to Word Enclosures for Wedding Invites

Enclosures for wedding invitations notify the guest to follow a set pattern of instructions. For instance, a wedding hosted at a church could require guests to enter the church through an alternative area. Properly worded enclosures provide the required information to the wedding guest.


  • Create an enclosure for R.S.V.P. purposes. These enclosures provide wedding guests with a small card and a return envelope. R.S.V.P. enclosures read "please R.S.V.P." and are followed by instructions. For instance, the enclosure could include check boxes stating, "Yes, I will attend" or "No, I am unable to attend." Above the check boxes, is a line that reads, "Select the box that applies and return." 

  • Create an enclosure for wedding gift registration. A wedding, gift, registration enclosure reads, "We are registered." The web address for the couple's wedding, gift registry is listed next, if the couple is registered online. A wedding, gift, registration enclosure list the name of the department store in which the couple registered and its location. Wedding, gift registries allow couples to select desired items for wedding guests to purchase. 

  • Create an enclosure for wish list. A wish, list enclosure is a short list of items the couple needs. Couples that choose not to create a wedding gift registry use this option. The wish list enclosure has a heading that reads "Wish list." List up to ten wish, list items after the heading.
