Ceremony and reception, each with its own card
Every invitation has two main venues: the ceremony and the reception. Give each its own name, time and address, and guests get a map link for both, so nobody drives to the reception hall at two o'clock when the service is across town. Cedar & Candle shows them as two separate cards, which suits Maronite, Orthodox, Assyrian, Armenian and other church weddings where the two are far apart.
If there is more to the day, the programme has a church ceremony event type alongside the rehearsal dinner, engagement, welcome drinks and after-party. Guests see everything in one timeline in date order.
Formal enough for the family, easy for the guests
Church weddings often bring together several generations, and the invitation has to read well for all of them. These designs keep the wording formal and the layout calm, with large type for names and dates. Guests open the invitation in their browser from the link, without an app or an account, and add the date to Google or Apple calendars in one tap.
For the wording itself, the traditional formulas still work well on a screen: hosts first, then the couple, then the ceremony and reception. Our wedding invitation wording guide has formal and relaxed examples, and the etiquette guide covers timing and follow-ups for digital invitations.
Bilingual families
Many church weddings in Sweden, Europe and North America bring together a diaspora family and a local one. Guests switch language on the invitation, Arabic laid out right to left, and Cedar & Candle sets its Arabic in Amiri, a classical Naskh face. Grandparents in Beirut and cousins in Stockholm read the same invitation in their own language.
