Hi Everyone, I am getting married in May and need help with my DIY wedding invitation wording. I am getting married at property owned by my parents. It is very rustic. This is what I have come up with so far, but I am stuck at the location.

should it say at the property of the bride's parents? There isn't an "address" or name for the property. I want people to know that the wedding will be outside and to dress accordingly. I appreciate any help! Thanks!

The location has no physical address? Is this just some empty piece of land or something? Even so, it should have an address; unless it is an unregistered plot of land I guess.

Usually a physical address is used. But if there is none, I guess I would just stop at "At 4:30 in the afternoon" then put something like "Location and directions to follow". Then include an insert with the location and directions.

Good luck!

What if you were to say something like this? I know it's not much, but I hope it helps!

At the serene outdoor property
belonging to the Bride's parents.

Also, are you going to include a map? I think this would be helpful for your guests as well!! Oh...and CONGRATS!!:frogg:

I like "the serene outdoor property belonging to the Bride's parents." I am including a map and directions. I just didn't know what to put on the invitation itself. Thank you for your help! This is harder than I expected!!!
