    I wouldn't put your dress code on the invitations, that would be better for your wedding website. I also wouldn't put anything important on the back of your invitations, it could easily be overlooked. I would just put names, date, time, and address along with your wedding website on your invites Smiley smile

    Your invitations will set the tone of your wedding so that people will know what to wear. When I receive an invite I usually look up the venue online to get an idea of formality as well. Putting something general on your website is helpful but it’s not something you should put on the invitation itself.

    Dress code and other instructions or request go inside the envelope but on a separate insert card with things like directions, hotels, etc.

    As others have said, dress code can be put on the website if you would like. The only time you put a dress code on the invite if it is black tie. However, that is tied into the high level of service and extravagance that you will have at the wedding. Otherwise, your invitation, venue, and day/time of day (for example, a Saturday evening will typically be considered more formal than a Sunday morning) will all guide the guest's understanding of the formality of the event.

    You don't need to put anything on the back. As a previous poster said, all you need is the names of the people getting married, the venue name, address, and time and date. If the ceremony and reception are in 2 different places. You want to put something like "reception to follow at [insert venue]."

    Are you using a wedding website? I would put your dress code on the website. If you want to have it with the invitation, make a separate information card and add it there.

    What kind of dress code are we talking? I don’t think it’s appropriate to dictate how your guests dress, but if you really feel the need, put it on your website.

    I have actually seen someone put dress code on invites before. But as PPs said I think it's more appropriate on a website faq section

    I've never seen dress codes on an invite unless it's a formal/black tie wedding. I'd just put it on your wedding website!

    Caytlyn is right - there is no need to dictate guest attire, they will take cues from the formality of the venue and invitations.

    The only exception would be if you are truly having a black tie/white tie affair, or your venue has requirements (men in dinner jackets, etc).
