Invites For Your Wedding
Your wedding invitation doesn’t just deliver the pertinent details of your event, it can set the whole tone of you wedding. The following suggestions can help you make your wedding invitations be incredibly special.
It’s a good idea to order your invitations at least three to four months prior to the wedding, when your guest list should be finalized. You should have a general concept of your invitation design at least seven to eight months before the wedding, which means you will need to be looking at various stationery shops by the six-month mark, then iron out the details during your subsequent visits.
You will need to take into account the various unexpected things that can happen, such as late guest additions, mistakes, and other mishaps, so you must order 25 percent more invitations than you plan to need.
The following information should be included on the invitation: the wedding hosts, who are usually the parents; the bride and groom’s names; date and day of the week the wedding will be held; the time and address of the wedding and receptions; and in some cases the RSVP data. You can opt to include response cards in lieu of the RSVP information. These type of cards are very helpful to both the receiver and the sender of the invitation; map cards are another means of aiding your guests.
Invitation prices will vary widely; the type of ink or typeface you choose, as well as the kind of printing for the invitation and the place you purchase them, and even the number you order will affect the price. Expect to spend from $1 to $50 per invitation.
High quality paper, ink with colors, envelopes, and any kind of custom design can raise your price. A great idea is to use a toll free number for your guests to respond or to include a response card with your invitations.
Thermography is an excellent word to know when choosing invitations. The two main selling points for this type of printing is that it can’t easily be distinguished from engraving, and it is much less expensive.
Type up a list for your calligrapher as a handwritten list will lend itself to mistakes. Go over your list a few times and have someone else from your family take a look at it to double check it, as well.
And when you order your invitations, make arrangements to take them home or have them delivered to you as soon as possible, to give you plenty of time to work on addressing them.
You should weigh an invitation before you purchase your postage. If your invitation includes many inserts, it can cost more to mail it. A good plan is to take one down to the post office and weigh it, so, you can check the cost.
Remember as you make your guest list and gather their information for the invitations, you will need this data to send your thank you notes. Make sure that you keep your address list. As you open your wedding gifts, make sure to write the item next to the name and address of the person who gave you the gift.
Also, you are not yet married! Keep your new married monogram for the thank you notes. Your invitations should include your maiden name or monogram or your initials entwined with your intendeds.
If you wedding date is during the holidays or you’re marrying at a faraway location, you must send your invitations at least 12 weeks prior to the ceremony. Invitations for local weddings can safely be mailed from 6-8 weeks before the event.
