I have some questions regarding my invitations wording. Maybe you guys can put an input?

1. My ceremony starts at 4 pm. Should I put please arrive yada yada by 3:45? It’s just that i don’t want people to be late. And i don't want them to arrive too early where they would just be hanging around, because of course, I would like to take photos of my husband first.
2. Should I put a timeline on details? Do you guys have example? my reception venue is the same as ceremony btw.
3. What about attire? I would like my guest to wear semi formal. How can I word it?

4. Lastly, show me your invitations if you want

Maybe get some idea?
THIS IS SAVE MY DATES BTW. I just have to find invitations that would match them. A lot of people think it’s my formal invitation already and I was like... “nope, just little girly and extra” 😂♥️

Really cute invites !
I’ve seen people put please arrive by — on invites
I don’t think you need to put timeline You could put semi formal attire requested if you’d like but I don’t think that’s necessary to put attire there
Do you have a wedding website ? Stuff like timeline and attire can go on that

I put everything on my wedding website! I did include an important information card in my invites, but mostly everything is on my website 👍🏻

Those are super cute and like previously mentioned, most of what you're asking can go on your website if you have one.

Put 4pm, I wouldn't list the timeline, people will wear semi formal if you don't tell them otherwise. Here is what mine looked like:

You shouldn't dictate attire unless it's a black-tie event. Guests determine what to wear from the formality of your invitations. I don't think you'll have a problem with guests understanding they should dress up a little, based on your STD. Just put the ceremony start time; people know to arrive early so they're seated in time for the ceremony.

You would list the start time as 4pm which is when you make your entrance. Guests arrive up to 30 minutes prior and seated as they arrive with music playing. People know to arrive on time.

A timeline is not necessary.
Semiformal/Sunday Best is default for weddings. Don't mention attire unless it is very casual or very formal.
