A details card is an extra insert included with your main wedding invitation. While the invitation covers the who, what, when, and where of your big day, the details card dives deeper—providing guests with all the extra information they’ll need to feel fully prepared and stress-free.

What to Include on a Details Card

Think of it as your wedding’s helpful cheat sheet.

A details card can include:

  • Accommodation options and booking details
  • Directions and transport advice
  • Dress code guidance
  • RSVP instructions (if you’re not using an RSVP card)
  • Wedding website link
  • Gift registry or wishing well info
  • Post-ceremony plans like after-parties or brunch

Why You Should Consider Adding One

Not only does a details card keep your main invitation looking clean and elegant, but it also enhances the guest experience. Instead of fielding endless questions from well-meaning friends and family, you can direct them to everything they need—beautifully laid out and easy to refer back to.

Including a details card is especially helpful for destination weddings, multi-day celebrations, or when logistics are a little more complex.
