Every couple has a different perspective on marriage, and on love. And only when you start sifting through potential readings, quotes and themes for your big day, do you realise that there are so many words out there that just don't fit you as a couple. Whilst some are enchanted by the comparison of love to the stars in the sky or the waves of the ocean, others relate to words of partnership and trust. Meanwhile, others prefer totally toned down language. Regardless of how you like to describe or represent your love, there is a quote out there to summarise all kinds of relationships. Looking for a wedding invite quote for your 2026 wedding? In this article we help you select a quote for your wedding invitations or your signage.
Your love in words
Just like you select a colour scheme for your bridesmaids or the delicious details of your meal to perfectly harmonise with your wedding theme, many couples find it important to portray their love with carefully chosen words.
Whether it's a wedding invite quote to adorn your invitations, or as a sign in your wedding reception, weaving together the right combination of words can help you express to your guests what your marriage means to you as a couple.
Because at the end of the day, we all see our relationships differently! At Peppermint Press, we've worked with thousands of couples with a great variety of beliefs on love and what their relationship means to them.
Sure, we all have our own individual beliefs, but it goes even deeper than that. Just as Hitched perfectly portrays, at cross-cultural weddings, couples have to blend their understanding of love and marriage. Meanwhile, even things like age gaps, whether it's a first or second marriage, or the way in which you were brought up, can have a huge impact on your view of love.
Some couples consider their marriage two lives fully woven together, shared in every sense. Others lean into something more poetic, choosing romantic, almost lyrical language to capture how they feel. Then there are those who keep it grounded, speaking in terms of support, deep trust, and comfort that builds over time.
Regardless of where you stand on the meaning of your relationship with your partner, you might like to sort through some wedding invitation quotes, readings or poems in order to find where you stand.
Why should I choose a wedding invite quote?
Not every couple wants a quote on their wedding stationery, and that is absolutely fine. But for those who do, it can add a really lovely personal touch that makes the whole stationery suite feel a little more uniquely theirs.
The right words can say a lot about who you are as a couple. A quote that genuinely reflects your relationship not only sets the tone for guests but can also feel like a small, quiet declaration between the two of you about what your marriage means.
The hardest part is choosing one! There are a lot of quotes out there, and the right one will look and feel different for every couple. Elegant, funny, romantic, understated; it all depends on who you are.
