In reality, wedding invitation wording is a place where you might want to get creative… but not TOO creative. No matter what beautiful form they come in (old fashioned post, email, on a balloon, sent by a flock of pigeons, unrolled as a poster) they still need to convey some basic information. Who are you? What are you doing? When and where are you doing it? How you share that information can express everything from your values, to the kind of wedding you’re going to have, to your artistic taste. But an invitation still is, in its most basic form, a simple means of passing along information. Nothing more, nothing less. (So tell your mom to calm down.)
