When it comes to wedding stationery, your invitation is the star of the show; but details cards are the quiet heros. They’re the perfect way to share all the practical information your guests need without overcrowding your main invitation. From accommodation to dress codes, a well-designed details card keeps everything clear, organised, and stress-free for you and your guests.
What is a Wedding Details Card?
A details card (sometimes called an information card or enclosure card) is an additional insert that accompanies your wedding invitation suite. It provides space for extra information that doesn’t belong on the invitation itself, helping to keep your main card elegant and uncluttered.
What to Include on Your Wedding Details Cards
Here are the most popular details to consider including:
1. Accommodation Information
If you’ve reserved hotel room blocks or have suggestions for where guests can stay, list them here. Include:
-
Hotel names and addresses
-
Discount codes or booking references
-
Transport details (if shuttles are provided)
2. Directions & Transport
Not everyone will rely on sat-navs! Clear directions or notes on parking can be really helpful. If you’re providing guest transport, such as a coach from the hotel to the venue, outline times and pick-up spots. You can also create illustrations such as wedding maps, to help guide guests to the right location, in a fun and aesthetic way!
3. Schedule of the Day
Guests appreciate knowing the flow of the celebration. Include approximate timings, such as:
-
Ceremony start time
-
Reception or cocktail hour
-
Dinner and dancing
(Keep it simple — a timeline graphic can work beautifully.)
4. Dress Code
Whether your wedding is black-tie, cocktail, or garden-party chic, state it clearly so guests know what to wear.
5. Children & Plus-Ones
This is the polite way to clarify if your wedding is adults-only, or if children and additional guests are welcome.
6. Gifts & Registries
Many couples use the details card to gently share registry links, honeymoon fund details, or wording about “no gifts, please.”
7. Wedding Website
If you’ve created a wedding website, the details card is the perfect place to direct guests to it for RSVPs, menu selections, or further updates.
8. Special Notes
This could include cultural traditions, the theme of the day, or even a sweet note like “dancing shoes encouraged!”
