Wedding invitation poems have the advantage of allowing one to best express feelings in a manner most understandable to others. In a little way we are entrusting family and friends with our emotions by sharing our feelings in what can be a moment of great openness and vulnerability.
A wedding invitation poem can convey love, joy, harmony and happiness, and these positive feelings can unite not only the marriage couple, but also the friends and family attending.

Examples of wedding invitation poems
"Our lives began the moment we met
we'll never let each other go
together we'll travel there and beyond
of this I truly know."
"A wedding is on the way
you'll find the details inside,
Come and celebrate with us
with the groom & the bride,
there'll be music, dancing and food,
and lots of fun, you'll see,
so please be quick to let us know
by sending your RSVP"
"As common as the deserts' rain;
with a depth we cannot measure,
two precious hearts in unison,
their combined love our treasure."
Wedding Invitation poem to request a monetary gift
"You're invited to our wedding
to hear us say "I do"
We have no wedding list
the things we need are few
So if you're thinking of a gift
think money first indeed,
we have most things for the house
A nice honeymoon's what we need."
RSVP poem for a wedding invitation
"Congratulations on your marriage,
and your future life,
We think you're two tremendous people,
Now teamed as man and wife."
Classic wedding invitation poems
"What greater thing is there for two human souls
than to feel that they are joined together to strengthen
each other in all labor, to minister to each other in all sorrow,
to share with each other in all gladness,
to be one with each other in the
silent unspoken memories?"
- George Eliot
Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day?
Thou are more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And Summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd:
But thy eternal Summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
- William Shakespeare
