- Wedding Ideas & Advice for the Couple, Wedding Party and Guests
Wedding Invitations: You are hereby invited!
| Once you have a good idea of your guest count you can tackle the invitations. When you order your invitations the simplest mistake is to order by individual, not couples. Three hundred people does not mean 300 invites. Make sure you count the two people that make the couple as one invitation. Order an extra 25 invitations for mistakes and extras, or whatever is the minimum order. You should order four to five months before your wedding date. You will mail them six to eight weeks before your wedding date, unless you are hoping for rejections so you can move onto your "B" list, then start ten weeks before. Don’t forget to invite the wedding party and even your parents, they will want one as a memento |
|
| If someone close to you (close enough to impose) has nice handwriting, beg him or her to address the envelopes. Splurge for a nice pen and if your budget can stretch, go for a calligrapher. Some ways to save time and money on invitations include: skipping the envelope liners, skip engraving, don't buy oversized invitations and avoid the tissue paper, it's not really necessary. When you address them use a clear, concise and updated guest list. You may also address your thank you cards at the same time (you will thank us later). Keep this master list as your checklist and later on for your gifts |
|
| Don't just buy pretty stamps and assume the postage is adequate. When your invitations are ready to be mailed, bring them to the post office to be weighed and then choose your stamps. There are some lovely choices that may reflect your personality, though you can't go wrong with LOVE. |
