Guidance On The Enclosures You May Wish To Include With Your Wedding Invitations
After sending ‘save the date’ cards to the prospective guests of your wedding, you will then be in a position to formally invite them to your big day. This of course means sending out your wedding invitations, which you should have put plenty of thought into already when choosing the design and colour. Traditionally, these are sent out three months prior to the date of the wedding; however, brides have recently started to send them anything up-to five months before the wedding date. The enclosures that are sent alongside your wedding invitations are just as important. Read on for details on which enclosures you may wish to include.
Direction Cards
An ever-present enclosure with wedding invitations is direction cards, which details how the guests can find the wedding location, as well as giving them an idea as to where they can park their car. You may even be faced with the task of designing two direction cards if your wedding is to be held in two locations. You may even decide to tailor direction cards to each individual guest. For example, those travelling long distances will need more details than those who only have a short distance to travel.
Response Cards
Perhaps the most important item to include with wedding invitations is the response card. Once the couple received response cards form their prospective guests they then have an idea of how many people will be attending. This means they can go on to start making firm arrangements such as seating and catering plans. People love weddings and those invited will do all they can to attend your big day; however there are usually some that can’t make it.
The Menu
It is becoming increasingly popular for the couple to enclose a menu for the reception and request for the invitee to let them know what they want to eat. You can then let caters know the final numbers for each food option so that they can begin planning the finer details.
