Missing the accent on ‘Qué’; without it the word becomes a conjunction, not a question word.
¿Qué detalles aparece en la invitación?
The verb must agree with the plural subject ‘detalles’; use ‘aparecen’ instead of the singular ‘aparece’.
¿Qué detalles aparecen sobre la invitación?
While ‘sobre’ can be used, the most natural preposition for ‘appear on’ is ‘en’. ‘Sobre’ changes the nuance to ‘about the invitation’.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, invitations often list not only the date, time, and place, but also the dress code (e.g., ‘formal’, ‘casual’), a note about gifts, and a clear RSVP deadline. Paying attention to these details shows respect for the host’s organization and helps you prepare appropriately.
