What to Include on Your Wedding Invitation Details Card (with Wording Examples!)
When it comes to your wedding invitation suite, the details card is the quiet achiever. It holds all the extra information your guests need to feel prepared and excited for your big day - without cluttering up your main invite. Think of it as your beautiful way to say, “Here’s everything else you need to know.”
In this guide, we’ll walk you through exactly what you can/should include on your details card - plus give you copy-and-paste wording examples to make the process feel effortless.
What is a Details Card?
A details card (sometimes called an info card or enclosure card) is an optional piece in your wedding invitation suite that provides additional information your guests may need to know before the day.
This might include:
Accommodation suggestions
Transport info
Dress code
Ceremony or reception timing details
Children or plus-one information
Your wedding website link
RSVP instructions (if not using a separate card)
Whether you include one or many of these depends on your day and your guests — but don’t worry, we’ll help you decide what’s relevant!
What Can You Include on a Wedding Details Card?
Here’s a breakdown of common sections, with optional copy you can use directly or tweak to suit your vibe:
1. Accommodation Suggestions
If you have guests traveling from out of town, they’ll appreciate some nearby options.
Classic:
We have reserved a selection of rooms at The Hillside Inn. Please mention ‘Taylor & Jordan’s Wedding’ when booking for a discounted rate.
Modern:
Staying the night? Our top picks nearby include:
— QT Newcastle
— The Victoria Hunter
— The Oaks Resort Pokolbin
Playful:
Booking a room? These are our faves — close to the action, and perfect for a Sunday sleep-in.
2. Transport & Parking Info
Especially important if the venue is remote, has limited parking, or if you’re offering a shuttle.
Simple:
Parking is available onsite at the venue. A shuttle service will also run from Cessnock town centre — check our website for pickup times.
Heartfelt:
To make your night carefree, we’ve arranged a guest shuttle to and from the venue. Details can be found on our website.
3. Dress Code
Your guests will thank you for this clarity.
Classic:
Formal / Black Tie Attire
Romantic:
Garden party best, with heels-friendly shoes
Modern:
Dress to impress — think cocktail, chic, and camera-ready.
4. Kids or Plus-One Notes
If your wedding is adults-only, be clear but kind.
Gentle wording:
While we love your little ones, our day will be an adults-only celebration. We hope you enjoy the night off!
Plus-one:
Due to space limitations, we are only able to accommodate those named on your invitation.
This can be an area that couples find to be a little delicate, so if you would like to deep dive further into how to say adults-only, check out this post here.
5. Reception Info (if different to ceremony)
Simple:
Reception to follow at The Pavilion, 6:00pm
If on a separate property:
Ceremony and reception will take place at separate locations. See our website for maps and timing.
6. Wedding Website Link
A wedding website can hold everything, especially if you want to keep your printed card minimal.

Wishing Well – Simple:
Your presence is the greatest gift, but should you wish to contribute, a wishing well will be available on the day.
Wishing Well – Romantic:
The best gift is having you with us — but if you'd like to bless us with something more, we’ve set up a wishing well for our honeymoon adventures.
