Planning the wedding is not just about the venue, the entourage, the reception, or the wedding dress. It should also include the wedding invitation. Aside from the designs and appearance of the invitation, you should also consider how you are going to send it to your guests, especially to some of them who are far away. Here are some helpful tips that you can use for your wedding invitations.
What are the acceptable ways of giving out wedding invitations?
You need to most definitely include a reception card with a wedding invitation when the wedding ceremony and the reception are going to be held at separate locations. Be sure that the wedding reception card that you include with the invitation includes accurate information about the wedding reception.
The name that should appear on the outer side of the envelope is also important. Casual names for close friends and relatives are acceptable but names for special and important people, like your grandparents, principal sponsors, members of the entourage, and those people in higher office, should be done in such a formal way. This is to emphasize that their presence are important and required.
If you are planning a cheap wedding, you should most definitely keep in mind what it is going to cost to mail out your wedding invitations. Be sure to mail out your invitations at least eight weeks prior to and no later than six weeks prior to your blessed event. If you are planning to hold your wedding during the holidays or you have plans to invite a great number of out of town guests you should mail out your invitations even farther in advance. This will give your guests the best opportunity to be able to attend.
If you are planning to hold a very formal, black tie event for your wedding you should place the term Black tie at the lower right hand corner of the invitation. This will let your guest know that they need to dress accordingly for the event. .
Things you should steer clear of when sending out wedding invitations:
You should not simply address an envelope to Mr. and Mrs. Howard Anderson. You need to be sure that kids that are under 18 years old are listed on the invitation as and Family and that children that are 18 years and older are sent their own invitations.
Do not use nicknames on wedding invitations. You should be using a first and a last name. You should even avoid using middle names and initials as this is something that a lot of people want left off any invitations that sent to them.
Do not use abbreviations when you are writing out wedding invitations. The only time it is acceptable is when you are writing Mr., Mrs. And Dr. Otherwise all other titles and names need to be completely written out.
The date, time, and address of the wedding ceremony and reception should also be written in complete details and not in abbreviations so the guests would not be confused of what you are trying to instruct them.
Avoid the use of "&" symbol in the invitation. If you need to do it, just write the word "and".
The wedding event and celebrations is much important than the invitation, but it would be best if you will design your invitations in such a unique and special way because, even years after the wedding day, you and your guests would still recall the event when they see the invitations. You will also be reminded of the persons who came to share with you and witness your ever-dreamt-of event in your entire life.
