Wedding Invitations
Elsie Gilbert
Whenever anyone decides to get married, one of the most important
decisions is which guests are going to be invited to the various
celebrations. For people to know that they are invited to your wedding
ceremony, they will need to receive an invitation.
Wedding invitations are no longer a simple card in the post; they
are a vital part of the wedding theme and without careful thought can
really dent your budget and leave guests confused.
Wedding Invitations – The Basics
Wedding invitations must, essentially tell your guests the vital
information such as where, when and the format of the event. Don’t get
wrapped up in the detail and forget to tell the guests the date and
location!
Be clear with your wedding invitations as to exactly what type of
event your guests are being invited to. Is the event an informal affair
with no particular dress code, or is it a party celebration that requires
certain attire. By making this clear on your wedding invitations, you will
save yourself many hours on the phone explaining the nature of your
wedding; this will prevent any red faces on the day.
Make it clear exactly what will be included, can guests expect a
full meal or will there be a buffet? If your wedding ceremony is taking
place at a separate location to the reception, will transport be provided
and what time does each ‘part’ of the day start.
Reply Style Wedding Invitations
A great way to find out the exact numbers that you can expect to
attend is to create wedding invitations with an integral reply section.
The reply can be a simple yes or no, however it may also be worth finding
out more information such as whether there are any special dietary
requirements or whether accommodation / transport is required.
Wedding invitations can be used, not only to provide a lot of
information but also to receive information. As part of your wedding
invitations you can also include information such as maps or details about
the surrounding area. This is particularly important, as many guests use
attending a wedding as an opportunity to have a short break, so include
some interesting brochures.
Wedding Invitations – Clever Ideas
With weddings becoming increasingly expensive, the choice of
wedding invitations can provide you with the perfect opportunity to save
money, big time. If your guests are technologically able, why not go
online? You could even set up a website with all of the relevant
information and the option to reply online. If you choose this approach,
make sure that you have the necessary security and passwords so that you
don’t inadvertently invite the whole world!
Wedding invitations do not have to be elaborate; in fact a homemade
version with a personal picture can be far more effective and a lot
cheaper. Get a third person, who does not know the details of your wedding
to proof read the wedding invitations to ensure that you haven’t missed
out anything vital.
Finally, make sure you send your wedding invitations out in plenty
of time for your guests to respond.
