Aurelia Insights · Authors
Wedding stationery & planning guides
The people who design Aurelia’s invitation templates and answer couples’ questions every day. We write each guide from what we see couples and their guests actually need.
Aurelia Insights is written by the team that designs our digital wedding invitations, builds the RSVP and wedding website tools, and replies to couples who write to us for help.
That work shows us the same questions again and again: how to word an invitation when two families are hosting, when to send it to guests abroad, what to ask on an RSVP and how to follow up politely. Our guides answer those questions with examples you can copy and adapt.
Before a guide is published, it is checked against how the invitations and RSVPs actually work today, and we update it when the product or common practice changes. The “Updated” date on each article shows the last meaningful review.
