Check it
before it prints.

Q: What should I check before printing invitations?

Five things catch most of it: the month written in words (numerals are ambiguous internationally), an RSVP deadline and not just the word RSVP, one consistent register for times, no gift or registry wording on the invitation itself, and a physical proof read by someone who did not write it.

Every rule here comes from a mistake that is free to fix now and expensive to fix after a print run.

Your invitation wording

Mechanical checks only, run in your browser. They cannot judge whether the wording is right for your event — only whether it contains the known traps.

What it looks for, and why.

Check	The mistake it prevents
Numeric dates	06/07/2027 is 6 July or June 7 depending on the guest's country. Real invitations have been misread this way.
Missing month name	The single most reliable way to make a date unambiguous.
RSVP with no deadline	A reply request with no date is a suggestion, and will be treated as one.
Mixed time registers	"Half after four" and "4.30pm" on the same suite reads as carelessness.
Registry or gift wording	Convention puts this on a details card or the website. On the invitation it reads as a request.
Straight quotes, double hyphens	Typographic tells that a piece was typed rather than typeset.
Black tie without a save-the-date	Guests hiring an outfit need more than six weeks' notice.

This does not replace a physical proof. Read the printed piece, aloud, with someone who did not write it — and check the names against how each person actually spells them. Nothing on a screen catches a misspelled surname the way a person who knows them does.

Common questions

Does it check spelling?

No. Your browser and your word processor already do that better, and neither knows how your guests spell their names — which is the error that actually matters.

Nothing was flagged. Am I safe?

It means none of the known traps are present. It is not a guarantee — read a physical proof.

Does it work for non-wedding invitations?

Most of the checks are general: dates, deadlines, registers. The registry and black-tie rules are wedding-shaped and will simply not fire elsewhere.

Or have it set by people who do this daily.

Evorrah typesets your wording into a design made for your event, with proofs at every stage — so the traps above are caught before you ever see them.
