Wedding Invitations - How to be Creative Even on the Outside

Sara Haese 2008-04-28
Title: Wedding Invitations - How to be Creative Even on the Outside
Wedding invitations are one of the few pieces of mail that people enjoy receiving. It’s fun to open up that envelope knowing there’s a custom invitation inside. But amidst all of today’s junk mail, how can you make your envelope stand out to get your guests’ attention?

There are actually several ways you can make your mailing envelope as unique as your wedding invitation.

  • Shape - With so many wedding invitation designs available today, you could easily select a uniquely shaped style such as square or tea length. The mailing envelope will then reflect that same distinctive size to fit the invitation.

  • Style - Another option is to select a Seal and Send wedding invitation style. This all-in-one invitation is designed to be folded into a self-mailing piece eliminating the need for a mailing envelope. The response card is attached to the invitation so it can be easily detached by your wedding guest along the perforation. This also eliminates the response card return mailing envelope and saves on your postage cost as it only requires a postcard stamp.

  • Color - How about using color for emphasis? Some wedding invitations now come with colored mailing envelopes. In particular, self-mailer invitations often include a colored envelopment. The envelopment holds your invitation card and has a built-in pocket for keeping any extra enclosures. It is then folded up wrapping around all your invitation pieces to become your mailing envelope.

  • Decorative Seals - Adding a seal to your wedding invitation envelope could be that extra touch you’ve been looking for. Even though your envelope is sealed, you can choose to place a special seal on the back so it gives the illusion that the seal is actually holding the flap down. There are many seal design choices, from monograms to first names to specific themes. Their appearance can be clear, white, silver, gold, embossed, etc.

  • Custom Wedding Stamps - There are now websites that offer you the option of creating your own personalized postage stamps using an uploaded photo or choosing from ready-to-use wedding designs. This is a great way to dress up your wedding invitation envelopes to reflect your personal style.
You want to be sure your wedding invitation gets the attention of your guests as soon as it arrives in their mail and that it doesn’t get lost in their sea of junk mail and bills. Using any or all of the above suggestions will surely accomplish this and will start building their excitement even before they see your actual invitation.

Wedding Invitations Cards for All Types of Weddings

Sarah Porter 2008-02-28
Title: Wedding Invitations Cards for All Types of Weddings
There are many types of wedding invitations cards that can be used when inviting people to you wedding. The choices can be overwhelming but when keeping with the theme of the wedding, the choices can be dwindled down significantly for you. If having a small wedding, the wedding invitation cards don’t need to be extremely elaborate. If the wedding is a large, grand affair, the wedding invitation cards will probably need to be a bit more formal.

Formal wedding invitations cards will generally include many items. This includes the wedding invitation itself, an envelope within the mailing envelope to hold the wedding invitation card and an RSVP card so guests can respond. A smaller wedding invitation card may only hold the wedding invitation. Online retailers will generally have both types of wedding invitations to select from.

Once you have decided on the tone of the wedding invitation card, there are many different types to choose from. Engraved or embossed wedding invitations will be stamped so that a mould is embedded into the wedding card. These are considered one of the most formal wedding cards. If you want the wedding invitation card to be a bit less formal, you may want to consider thermographed wedding cards. This will raise the lettering, making it still appear very elegant. If you’re looking for something even more casual, you can create your own wedding cards with a home computer. These can be very personal.

Whatever type of wedding invitation card you decide on, the wording is very important. Generally, the wedding invitation wording will be from the parent’s standpoint. Something such as, “Mr. and Mrs. Robert Brown request the honor of your presence at the marriage of their daughter, Elizabeth Brown with Mr. Drake Mitchell.” The formality of the wedding invitation wording will continue with the rest of the wedding invitation card. If the wedding is going to be a bit more casual, the wedding invitation wording can be as simple as “Robert and Elizabeth are going to be married on June 30 and would love for you to come celebrate with them!”

Some of the guests that receive a wedding invitation card will send gifts right away, as well as bringing gifts to the ceremony. If any gifts are received before the wedding, it’s still appropriate to send a wedding thank you card right away. The wedding thank you cards should be sent within two weeks of receiving the gift. Many couples think that a phone call is okay and it may be but people do appreciate a wedding thank you card as one reminder of the events leading up to, and including, the wedding. For gifts that are received at the actual wedding itself, it’s imperative that everyone receives a wedding thank you card.

Personalized wedding invitations cards, custom wedding invitations, unique wedding cards and wedding thank you cards should all be kept within the same theme to provide continuity for all wedding stationery. Online retailers are available to provide advice and ideas for whatever the couple is looking for in their wedding invitations.

All in all, a wedding invitation could set or break the mood of your guests for your wedding.

A personalized and unique invitation is what all couples long for.

Wedding Invitation Labels and Envelopes

Kevin Stith 2006-03-01
Title: Wedding Invitation Labels and Envelopes
Computer printed labels are a time-saver, but they make the first impression of your formal wedding invitation appear impersonal. If a calligrapher is not in the budget, you can gather handwriting samples from your friends and offer them a fun incentive to assist addressing the envelopes.

Courtesy titles such as Mrs. and Dr. should be the only place you see punctuation on a wedding invitation. The basic rule of etiquette when addressing professional guests places the most impressive title first on the invitation regardless of gender. Simply using Mr. and Mrs. can be confusing enough and is acceptable unless it’s a formal wedding. If the doctor is your dear Uncle Hank, don’t worry about addressing the professional title.

Capital letters should only be used on a wedding invitation for proper names and at the end of a sentence. Try to fight the urge to use a capital letter at the beginning of each line to emphasis the poetry and love expressed in the wording.

When seconds are rapidly ticking away on the wedding planning clock, a number seems almost insignificant. But writing numbers out is a way to stop for a moment and honor your very special wedding day.

The date should be spelled out and followed by the day – Saturday, the second of August. If you choose to include the year, spell it out as well as the time. 3:00pm is written as 3 o’clock in the afternoon.

Although traditional wedding invitation etiquette suggests everything be written out, the United States Post Office encourages the use of numbers and state abbreviations for proper delivery.

How To Word Your Wedding Invitation

Victoria Poole 2007-11-03
Title: How To Word Your Wedding Invitation
Wedding invitation wording is something that many people struggle with when they get married. They don't know whose names should be included in the invitation, if the date should be written or used numerically, or if they should put reception information on the envelope. It can seem like there are a thousand things to consider. Though wedding invitation might not seem that important, it's very important. It lets your guests know who is hosting the wedding, if children are invited and where they need to go. So, before you sit down and pound out your invitations, take a closer look at wedding invitation wording suggestions.

Laying a Foundation

The first thing you need to consider is the wedding host. The person hosting the wedding is the one who is paying for it. Frequently this is the bride's parents. However, some couples pay for their own wedding. In some situations, both sides of the family each pay for half of the wedding. It's important to note who is paying for the wedding because technically, they are inviting the guests. Some people can be very sensitive about this, so make sure you ask.

If the bride's parents are paying for the wedding, you need to say something like, "Mr. John Doe and his wife Mrs. Ella Doe request the honor of your presence at the marriage of their daughter, Emma Doe to John Parks." If the couple is paying for the wedding themselves, they can directly invite their guests.

The next thing you need include is the date and the time. Traditionally, the date and time are spelled out. So, instead of saying the wedding is at 5:30 p.m., you would say, "at five thirty in the evening." Spelling out the time and date makes the invitation look more formal.

Usually the location is listed after the date and time. If the reception is being held at a different location than the ceremony, you can either include that after the date and time or you can include a smaller card that has reception details. If you don't want children at the reception, you should make that known by writing "adults only reception to follow."

Don't Forget Your Manners

These days it seems that there's wedding etiquette for every aspect of the wedding, including the delivery of invitations. Even if you don't want to abide by old fashioned etiquette, these etiquette techniques might help you get your invitations out on time.

For starters, you need to put your invitations in the mail at least six to eight weeks before the wedding. This will give your guests plenty of time to respond. It will also give you time to re-send an invitation that got lost in the mail or sent to the wrong address.

Also, if most of your guests are going to have to travel to attend your wedding, send them a save the date six months before the wedding. This will give them plenty of time to make their reservations. Your wedding invitation wording won't matter if the invitation arrives too late for them to attend.
