What should be included in a wedding invitation? The wedding invitation is the first glimpse your guests will have into your big day. As the wedding date approaches, they will be expecting invitations and decorations that are directly connected with your wedding theme. In order to make sure your guests receive the perfect wedding invitations, you need to know what should be in them.
The first thing you need to decide is what type of wedding invitation you are going to send. You can either send a traditional invitation or one that is modern. Traditional ones will usually include a formal letter from the couple accompanied by a printed notice on the invitation. They will also state the date, time and place of the ceremony and reception. Modern wedding invitations will include your names, the date and time you want them to be held, and sometimes the location of your reception.
Next you need to choose what types of cards you are going to use for your wedding invitations. You have the option between real cards or pre-made digital cards. Real cards are the traditional way and come in a variety of colors, paper thicknesses, designs and more. They are a great option for traditional weddings. On the other hand pre-made cards are online ready and do not require much customization.
The next thing you need to decide is if you are going to include RSVP cards in your wedding invitations. A lot of people are doing it these days, but they are not necessary. Instead you can use email invitations or even create your own. I recommend creating your own because you can personalize them for each guest. You can include things like their name, their relationship to you and even have a picture of you with them.
There are also some companies that will allow you to customise your wedding invitations. These will usually cost a little more than just buying them from a stationer, but it is well worth it. Some examples of customisable cards are handmade wedding card prints and place card prints.
Finally you need to decide what type of wedding invitation you are going to use. You can go with a traditional stationary wedding invitation or you can try something different. If you want to have more of a private wedding then you can opt for a closed invitation where the bride and groom have to fill out a card for the guests before they are allowed to attend. Most couples like this option because they don’t want to see how many people showed up and didn’t get to meet the bride or groom before they get married.
Other couples are going to include something called an “instant” wedding invitation. This means there will be a specific time once the announcement about the wedding goes out that people can attend. For example, if the date is only a couple days away then you would include the times that the ceremony and reception are going to be held as well. This is a very nice option if you want to save some time and don’t have a lot of people to tell at the last minute. Instant wedding invitations are also nice because they can include the location of where the wedding is taking place and when the reception will take place as well. It’s always nice to have all the planning taken care of so that you don’t have to worry about anything else.
One thing that should always be included in any wedding invitations is the cost that is going to be involved for the entire event. This should include the cost for the flowers, the food, the photographer, etc. Remember though that the less that you charge for your wedding invitations the more that you are going to make off of them so make sure that you aren’t throwing away money on the wedding invitations.
