Give the ceremony and reception their own details
Write the church address and service time first, then the reception address and arrival time. Mention whether everyone is invited to both parts. Add parking or entrance instructions supplied by the parish rather than asking relatives to guess which entrance to use.
Honor the people who matter
Include the parents and godparents by name, and add a family photograph if you want. A short blessing or welcoming message can make the invitation personal without hiding the practical information guests need.
Welcome an English-speaking or bilingual family
You can write the invitation in English, Spanish or put both versions in the same text. Keep the names, dates and venue details consistent in both versions. The published link works for relatives in the United States and abroad.
