Wedding Invitation Etiquette You Can Understand

Beautiful wedding day invitation etiquette is difficult for first timers, mostly if your wedding ceremony invitations are being done without information. Weddings are supposed to be beautiful and have a certain feel about them, so you want your invitations to convey the same about any type of wedding you may be having.
There are some basic written rules for sending and creating your invitations to make the process more enjoyable. You can even personalize your envelopes so that they match the theme you have created for your wedding package. If you would like to have beach ceremony invitations or photo ceremony invitations, then have them designed or create them on your own. If you like, you can also include confetti in the shapes of palm trees or other beach items to make your invitation stand out and sparkle. This is a great way to make your wedding stand out from the other weddings your guests have been invited to, so they are sure to remember your special day.

You should verify all addresses before you mail your invitations and ensure that the zip codes you have listed for each invitation recipient is correct. Following these rules for designing, printing, and mailing your nuptials invitations will save you time and the hassles of dealing with missing or returned invitations. Depending on the date and time of your wedding package, your guests may need to take time off from work, make arrangements for child care, or make travel plans.
When you are ready to mail your destination wedding invitations, send them out a minimum of six weeks before your beautiful wedding day. This makes sense for two reasons. One is that you will give yourself time to deal with any returned invitations and obtain new mailing information if you need to. The other is that you will give your invited guests reasonable time to make arrangements. Have your wedding ceremony invitations weighed prior to mailing, which will ensure that you can use the proper amount of postage and avoid the hassle of returned invitations.

 

The reception card simply lists the addresses and times of any post wedding day events, such as a cocktail hour or dinner. The recipient is asked to mail back the response card roughly two weeks before the ceremony or by the date indicated. Nuptials are sometimes followed or accompanied by a wedding reception, and many times couples need to include a reception card with that information, which should have a self-addressed stamped envelope. Often times, the accommodation information is sent in advance with the same dates.

 

When addressing the inner invitation envelope, address it to the individuals you are inviting such as, John and Mary Smith. Square shaped invitations and larger than normal invitations often require more postage, so be sure to check with the post office before you send them out. Handmade and unparalleled nuptials invitations are sometimes heavy and may require extra postage. Various invitations do not come with an inner invitation envelope, which is fine for most couples. Lined inner envelopes create a formal feel and can go beside the elegance of your beautiful wedding day invitation.
