Information for Ordering Your Wedding Invitations
* Invitations should be sent out 6-8 weeks before your
wedding.
* Invitations take about 7 to 10 days to come in.
* Invitations ordered from the silver Elite book take
about 3 weeks.
When ordering wedding invitations, you'll need 5
primary items:
I. The Invitation itself, which comes with an envelope
(most come with double envelopes and tissues). Most
couples do have a return address printed on the back flap
of the outside envelope to ensure delivery.
II. A Reception Card. This tells your guests when and
where the reception is going to be held.
III. A Response Card. This card automatically comes with
an envelope that is addressed to whomever you want the
responses mailed back to. These cards will tell you who
is coming to your wedding. The response date should be at
least two weeks before your wedding date. Remember, you
need to call the people who have not responded before you
give a final head count to your banquet hall. You put the
stamps on these.
IV. A Placecard or Tablecard. Assigned seating is normal
for wedding receptions. These cards are placed outside
the banquet room for the guests to take before entering,
so they know where to sit.
V. A Thank You Card. Most couples want their thank you
card to match their wedding invitation. This card can say
Thank You, or your names i.e., Jane and Bob, Jane and Bob
Smith, Mr. & Mrs. Robert Smith, etc.
* Before ordering your invitations you need to do an
exact invitation count. This is different than a people
count. To ballpark, we suggest, take the total number of
guests you think you'll have, divide by 2 and add 25.
Once again, we encourage an invitation count before
ordering. You don't want to be short because it can be
costly to order just 25 more.
* Before mailing out your wedding invitations, we suggest
putting one together and taking it to the post office to
be weighed so that you know exactly how much postage to
put on your invitations.
Don't hesitate to ask us any questions you may have
