Wedding invitation verses lend a sense of romance

Wedding invitation verses were once used frequently on nearly every wedding invitation, and couples chose wedding invitation verses that either had personal meaning for them or spoke to some ongoing theme in their relationship. While the trend subsided for some time, now wedding invitation verses are coming back into use as couples try to return to some traditions and help guests understand the meaning in their relationships before the ceremony.

Invitation verses can also help complement some specific wedding invitation ideas. If a couple has decided on wedding invitation ideas that use Victorian themes such as flowers or ornate decoration, there are plenty of wedding invitation verses from the Victorian era about love and romance that would add a great deal to any invitation. Poets like William Butler Yeats and Lord Byron are great for verses for Victorian styles of invitations. If you’re going with funkier wedding invitation ideas in a more contemporary style, look for wedding invitation verses that come from favorite songs or more current poems. Of course, wedding invitation verses from Alanis Morisette may not be the most appropriate thing, but lyrics from someone like Enrique Iglesias or Marc Anthony would work well.

Invitation verses don’t have to be stuffy or seem like a Hallmark card. Above all, invitation verses should be meaningful to you and your partner. Whether your wedding verses are a favorite song or poem or just one that speaks to the two of you and how you feel in your relationship, invitation verses are a great way to communicate your feelings to friends and family.
