Tips for wedding invitations

Did you set the wedding date? If so, congratulations! Now it's time to work on the planning process. It is not difficult, but it is important to be organized, starting with wedding invitations.

A wedding invitation is one of the most important things to focus on when planning a wedding. They offer guests a sample of what type of wedding you have (formal or casual), and exchange the most important information to make sure people know where to go and at what time. You may also consider sending a "save the date" card.

Style 

Start by planning your invitation style. It should reflect the ceremony itself. For example, if you have a very formal evening ceremony (white tie), you should use thin stationary paper with calligraphy or engraved printing. A less formal wedding, such as the one you can have at home or on the beach, requires a more casual style of invitation.

Wording

The content of the invitation should be well thought out before ordering. You must provide the names of the bride and groom, location, date and time. Sometimes parents' names are listed on invitations, depending on the circumstances. Here are some examples of what to include in your invitations: Wedding invitations.

guest list

Your list should contain all the names of the invited guests, including each family member. If children are invited, add them. All family members in the same household should be listed together. It's good to send one household invitation, but you need to know who will or will not be for planning purposes.

Handwriting
You want these invitations to look their best. Since you've probably paid a lot for professionally designed and printed invitations, practice on plain paper until you are satisfied with the look. Use black ink when it is time for real invitations.

addressing

Formal and semi-formal wedding invitations usually contain two envelopes: one slightly smaller than the other, so you can put it inside. On the outer envelope you will find your return address and the name of the family you are inviting. Use the standard upload format to make sure it reaches its intended destination. The inner envelope may contain the individual names of the people you invite.

Children

If you invite children, all you have to do is put "and family" on the invitation. Otherwise, it displays the names of the adults invited to the household. Some people do not understand that this means that their children are not invited, so they can add their names to the answer. In this case, you can call and notify them that this is an adult-only event.

RSVP

Include a badge on the RSVP card so that guests can react comfortably. All they have to do is note the number of people who will attend the shared space and drop them into the mail. Answers should appear before ordering the party. If the invitees did not answer, divide the names among the people who help you and call.

Other information

Traditionally, invitations should only contain information about the wedding ceremony, not the names of the places where you are registered for gifts. Some people still insist on including this information, but I think it seems unclean. It is better to have other members of the wedding party so that guests know where you are registered.

When to send

Ideally, the invitations should come out six weeks to several months before the wedding. Guests must include the date on their calendars. They may also need time off from work and book the hotel if they arrive from outside the city.
