Why add quotes to wedding invitations?

Quotes are a wonderful way to add a personal touch to your wedding invitations. Choose the right one, and your wedding invitations can tell the story of your love, show guests the values that matter most to you and your relationship, and even hint at your wedding’s theme long before the big day arrives.

A well-chosen quote also tends to elevate the whole look of the invitation. Beyond the practical details like the date and venue, it adds something that stirs real emotion in your guests. You can also play with the font, color palette, and placement of the quote to give your invitations an extra dose of elegance, style, or intimacy.

Where to look for quotes for your invitations?

Ideally, the quote you pick should really resonate with you both, so before you start searching, take a moment to think about what matters most to you, which books, songs, or movies you keep coming back to, and whose words you admire. If you have favorite songs or films, it’s worth revisiting them - you might find the perfect line already waiting there. And if there’s someone whose words have always meant something to you, their quotes are worth searching too.

You can find invitation-worthy quotes in plenty of places, including literature, songs, and movies. If you’re after something religious, look to the Bible, prayers, or the psalms. You’ll also find no shortage of romantic quotes about love itself and what it means to love someone. And remember, your quote doesn’t need to be famous - sometimes a few words from someone close to you, like a family member, make for an even better choice.

Below is our full list of quotes you can use on your wedding invitations. We’ve pulled sayings and maxims from a wide range of sources and categories, so you can browse for inspiration and pick whichever one best fits your wedding.
