Quick Tips
|
|
The style of your invitations should match the style of your
wedding.
|
|
|
Decide exactly what you want, you may want personalised
cake box to the napkins.
|
|
|
Does your budget allow you to have all the stationary you
want. If not do you really need to have those napkins. You could spend the money where it really matters more.
|
|
|
Don't forget the stamp costs. Your invitations will have
to be posted.
|
|
|
Shop around, whether you are buying ready-printed
ones or having them specially printed. Get a few quotes, the price will vary and also it is the only way of finding
out what is available to you and what you like.
|
|
|
Provide the printers with a typed copy of the words
and name spellings. They may not be able to read your writing.
|
|
|
The host of the wedding usually the brides parents
send out the invitations and receive the reply cards.
|
|
|
Order invitations 3 months in advance, this is to allow for
printing errors or word changes.
|
|
|
The invitations should be sent out 6 weeks before the wedding.
|
|
|
Make sure people RSVP within a certain period, so
other guests may be invited.
|

It is a good idea to include a map of location of the church
or register office and the venue of the reception, so no one can get lost.

you can do what you like.
