There are many parts that will be
"stuffed" inside the envelope of the
actual invitation. Are all these cards
necessary? That depends on the formality
of the invitation:
Formal or
Contemporary.
Unsure which is right for you? Trust a
professional stationery to assist
you - their time and knowledge is well
worth the investment! |

Response Cards
|
Wedding invitations include response cards as
a convenience to their guests. The guests simply fill in their name and let you know how
many guests will or will not be attending. Then they mail it back to you or the host in
the enclosed self-addressed, stamped envelope.
|
|
|
The last day for your guests to respond
should be two to four weeks before the wedding. This will give you enough time to contact
the guests who have not responded and to get a final head count for your caterer.

Directions/Maps
|
You should include a map to both the ceremony
and the reception even if they are well known. To make it easy to read, just simply
trace over a city map. Be sure to include major highways, streets and any major
landmarks.
|
|
|
You may also want to write out the
directions. This will come in handy for those guests who have a hard time reading
maps. Make sure you give directions for guests coming in various directions.
|

|
|
If you need driving directions to your ceremony or
reception site try using
Mapquest
to create them. Be sure to double check your directions by
actually traveling the route.
