Top Questions People Ask About Wedding Invitations and Stationery
Understanding the ins and outs of wedding invitations and stationery can be overwhelming. Here are the top questions people commonly ask us to help make the process easier.
1. When Should We Send Out Wedding Invitations?
The timing for sending wedding invitations is crucial. Generally, invitations should be sent out six to eight weeks before the wedding date. This gives guests ample time to RSVP and make travel arrangements if necessary. For destination weddings, it's advisable to send invitations at least three months in advance.
2. What Information Should Be Included in a Wedding Invitation?
A wedding invitation should include essential details such as the names of the couple, the date and time of the ceremony, the venue address, and RSVP instructions. Additional information like dress code, a map, accommodation options, and a wedding website can also be included to help guests plan their attendance.
3. How Do We Choose the Right Wedding Invitation Style?
Choosing the right style for your wedding invitations depends on the overall theme and formality of your wedding. Whether your wedding is modern, vintage, rustic, or classic, your invitations should reflect this. Consider colors, fonts, and design elements that match your wedding's aesthetic.
4. What Are Save-the-Dates and When Should We Send Them?
Save-the-dates are preliminary announcements sent to inform guests of your wedding date before formal invitations are sent. These should be sent out six to eight months before the wedding, or even earlier for destination weddings. This ensures guests can mark their calendars and plan accordingly.
5. How Many Invitations Should We Order?
It's a good rule of thumb to order 10-15% more invitations than your guest list to account for mistakes, last-minute additions, and keepsakes. Remember to order one invitation per household, not per guest, and include a few extra for yourself and immediate family.
6. Do We Need to Include RSVP Cards?
Yes, RSVP cards are important for collecting responses from your guests. They help you get an accurate headcount and make necessary arrangements for seating, catering, and other logistics. Include a deadline for RSVPs, typically two to three weeks before the wedding date.
7. Can We Include Our Registry Information in the Invitation?
It's considered impolite to include registry information directly in the wedding invitation. Instead, you can include this information on your wedding website and provide the website link on a separate details card or on the RSVP card.
8. How Do We Address Wedding Invitations?
Wedding invitations should be addressed formally. Use full names, titles, and proper salutations. For example, "Mr. and Mrs. John Smith" for married couples, or "Ms. Emily Johnson" for single guests. Pay attention to inner and outer envelope etiquette for a traditional touch.
9. What Should We Do About Plus-Ones?
Decide early on whether you will allow guests to bring plus-ones. Clearly indicate on the invitation or RSVP card whether a guest is invited with a plus-one by addressing the envelope accordingly, such as "Mr. John Smith and Guest."
10. Should We Include a Dress Code on the Invitation?
Including a dress code is helpful for guests to know what to wear. You can add a short note at the bottom of the invitation, such as "Black Tie," "Cocktail Attire," or "Casual." If you have a themed wedding, make sure to provide guidance on appropriate attire.
11. How Can We Make Our Invitations Eco-Friendly?
Consider using recycled paper or plantable paper that grows into flowers or herbs. Digital invitations are another eco-friendly option. Additionally, look for local printers that use eco-friendly inks and sustainable practices.
12. What is the Proper Etiquette for Thank-You Cards?
Thank-you cards should be sent out within three months of receiving a wedding gift. Personalize each card with a heartfelt message expressing your gratitude. Mention the specific gift and how you plan to use or enjoy it to make the note more meaningful.
