The time on the invites is the time the ceremony begins. People who are responsible will show up to the wedding so they’re seated when it begins.
How do you write the time on a wedding invitation?
Invitations:
- Time should be spelled out.
- Time should never be capitalized.

- Do not use “o’clock” if the time is not on the hour.
- Time, not on the hour, should be hyphenated.
How do I write an invitation?
Write the date of your party, including the date and day of the week. Your invitation also needs to tell your guests what time to arrive and approximate or definite length of your party if there will be a specific end time. You’ll want to ask your guests to RSVP to your event, to let you know if they will be attending.
When does the ceremony start on a wedding invitation?
If your wedding invitation says 4pm, that’s the time the actual ceremony begins. That doesn’t mean you start the ceremony 10 or 15 minutes early so that you can actually walk down the aisle at 4. As with any other event with an indicated start time, your ceremony should start at the time on the invitation.
What’s the mistake of putting the wrong start time on a wedding invitation?
