Invitations set the theme and mood for your wedding. When picking out styles
of invitations you need to remember the invitation may be the only hint your
guest will have in deciding how to dress, what to bring and what to expect.
Make sure you count the addresses and not the guests when budgeting for your
invitations.
You should have a friend or family member look at your invitation draft before
you give the final okay. You will have looked at it so many times that you
may not notice an error. Check the date and corresponding day as well as all
of the spelling. Usually wedding invitations should be sent out 6-8 weeks before
the wedding.
The response cards must always be sent with postage. Make sure you have the
right amount of postage on the response cards. If you are unsure, ask your
local postal worker for help. You should never assume you are putting the correct
postage on your invitation. Take one of your completed invitations to the post
office and have it weighed. The correct postage will ensure prompt delivery
with no postage due.
Addressing your envelopes can be easier if you follow these guidelines. Review
your guest list to make sure that all of the addresses are current and that
all the names are spelled correctly.
Always spell out the full name and address without using abbreviations. The
only acceptable abbreviations are Mr., Mrs., Ms., and a comma always precedes
Jr. Junior.
