Venue address on invitation- important or not?

Hi guys,

I feel like a jerk. I put the venue name, city and state on the invitation but I didn’t put the full address of the venue. Some family members think it was important to put the address on the invitation. What do you guys think?

the invitations have been printed and sent out. I am in love with the invitations, and if I had put the addresss in, it would be too squished in and won’t look as nice. I guessed that everyone will be able to use a gps to come here. Once you put the venue name in a gps, the gps will give directions.

I appreciate your input! Thanks!

    I think the address should be included, but I'm a very paranoid person and get lost. A LOT. Since they've already been sent out, I wouldn't worry about it! If you have a wedding website you could always add it on there or if you know of anyone who might get lost, just send them a quick message with the address. I don't think it's anything to stress about! Smiley smile

    They are already sent out, don’t stress about it. If anyone needs directions that’s what google is for. You could also put the address on your website if you have one.

    I didn't put mine on there intentionally! In my experience people don't bring the invitations with them when they leave the morning of, so people would be entering everything into their phones anyway. If you have a wedding website, maybe put it on there! But I think you're JUST fine Smiley heart

    We didn’t put the address just the venue name, city, and state. But our invites were extremely formal and I’ve never seen the full address on formal invitations.

    I actually had mine all printed out when I realized I forgot to add the address, too. I didn't worry about it and figured people will use GPS.

    We didn’t put ours on there either! GPS and google are wonderful in today’s day and age. Plus venues are generally unique enough where there won’t be two with the same name in the same town lol but you should be fine, no worries!

    Ugh I wish I didn’t have to put the address on ours but I probably will have to. There’s a “Mohawk Golf Club” and “Mohawk country club” in the same town! Ours is at the Golf Club but two of our vendors already got confused. If professionals can’t get it straight I can only imagine half of my guests driving to the wrong spot!

    Yeah, the address should have been on there. But I'm preeeetty sure in this day and age mostly everyone is capable of googling the venue name for the street address. And they can pass on the exact address to the elderly or whoever isn't phone/computer savvy. Don't stress it Smiley smile

    I put the venue name, city and state on the invitation but the actual address on the details card.

    Traditionally, full addresses weren't used. The assumption was that people would know the community and have no trouble finding the location. As people began to move more and have broader circles of friends, addresses in the invitations became more common. In this day with the advent of GPS and Google, they aren't needed unless, like a pp said, the venue could be confused with another.

    Hi Koushi! Agreeing with Ingrid and the others: having the actual address isn't essential and I wouldn't worry about it. People have Google to search the venue, their GPS's, and you can always put the address on your wedding website, just for extra precaution. Smiley heart

    I'm so glad to hear you love your invites! What is your wedding color palette? Smiley heart

    I disagree with the majority of responses, I think an address is unnecessary and cluttered. We didn’t put it on and I’ve never received an invite with one.
