What to Include on an A7 Invitation
The information included on an A7 invitation will depend on the type of event. Wedding Invitations commonly include the names of the couple, wedding date, ceremony time, venue, location, reception information, RSVP instructions, and a wedding website or QR code.
For graduations, baby showers, bridal showers, engagement announcements, birthdays, anniversaries, and other events, include the important information guests need to know, such as the event date, time, location, RSVP information, dress code, or other special instructions.
The larger A7 format is particularly useful when your invitation requires more information or when photographs and other design elements are an important part of the design. Before approving your invitation for printing, carefully check names, dates, times, addresses, RSVP information, and other important details for accuracy.
