Catalan Wedding Invitations: The Language Counts Too

You're at the kitchen table with your partner and your mother. She asks, 'Will the invitation be in Catalan?' You hadn't thought about it. The ceremony is in Catalan, the officiant speaks Catalan, but the invitation? Catalan wedding invitations are not a translation—they're a choice.

Here's the thing: Catalan isn't a translation of Spanish or English. It's the language your guests will hear at the ceremony. So the invitation should sound like it, from the first line to the RSVP. And you don't have to chase anyone to get answers.

Catalan wedding invitations: the language is chosen, not translated

Start with a heading that sounds like spoken Catalan: 'Benvinguts a la nostra boda' or 'Ens casem!'. The invitation content can be set to Catalan, and you can also choose the treatment: 'vós' for your grandmother and older relatives, 'tu' for friends. Don't mix both in the same scene. You can also set the invitation content by language, so the same link works for everyone.

• Rótulo: 'Benvinguts a la nostra boda' or 'Ens casem!'
• Names: l'Aina i en Martí, la Núria i en Pau — check apostrophes and accents.
• Decide between 'vós' and 'tu' before you write a single line.
• Use the character counter so nothing gets cut in the preview.

Date, time, place: one clear line

Write 'Dissabte 14 de juny de 2025, a les 12:00 h' instead of '14/06/25 at 12'. That way the uncle from Girona and the friend from Barcelona read it the same. If the venue has two names, pick the one the officiant will use: 'Església de Sant Pere'. Add the map so nobody asks.

If you change the time or place after sending, the link updates and you don't have to resend anything. No reprints, no new envelopes. The link stays the same, so everyone sees the latest version.

A short phrase moves more than a paragraph

Try 'Amb moltes ganes de celebrar-ho amb tu' or 'Us esperem a la masia'. You edit it in the phrase field. If the wedding is at a masia, a photo of the patio with olive trees can be the cover. You can mark it and replace it whenever you want. Avoid forced rhymes; 'Ens veiem dissabte' sounds more natural than a long verse. Short and spoken is better.

Your invitation in Catalan should sound like your ceremony: chosen, not translated.

Confirm in Catalan without WhatsApp

Set up the RSVP questions: 'Vindràs?' and 'Quants sou?'. The answers land in an ordered list inside the invitation. Guests don't install anything: they open the link on their phone, read and respond from the browser. If someone doesn't reply, you can resend the same link by message. No automatic reminders that chase anyone. If your grandparents want paper, combine: a link for most and a few printed copies for those who will keep them. The digital invitation costs 29.99 EUR per invitation, one-time payment, no subscription. No printing or envelope mailing. You can see who's coming in the list. Pick a design, try it free, and see how your invitation sounds in Catalan. Publish it and the confirmations arrive on the same page.
