Do You Really Know the Wedding Invitation Etiquette?
We all know how to choose wedding invitations. Laser cut wedding invitations or flat wedding invitations? Burgundy or navy blue? They are all not problems, just follow your preference. But do you know how to send them out correctly? In other words, do you know the wedding invitation etiquette?
1. Do we need a save-the-date card? If yes, when we send it?
Actually speaking, save-the-date card is not an essential part of a wedding, and it is used to tell our guests when our wedding date will be. If we want to have it, send the card out about six to nine months in advance is great .If we want a destination wedding or if most of our guests are coming from out of town, we should generally send out your save-the-dates nine to 12 months before your wedding.
2. When we send the wedding invitation cars?
2. When we send the wedding invitation cars?
If we have send the save-the-date cards to your guests, then just send the wedding invitations to them 6 to 8 weeks before our big day. If we don’t use the save-the-date card, then send the wedding invitation card about six to nine months in advance. If we want a destination wedding or if most of our guests are coming from out of town, we should generally send out the save-the-dates 9 to 12 months before the wedding.
3. When should we make a deadline for RSVPs?
It will be better to make the RSVP date two or three weeks before the wedding date,so we can have plenty of time to get a final head count to the caterer and decide the seating chart. If the guests still haven’t responded by the deadline, try to call them.
4. How many wedding invitations we should send?
For wedding invitations, it’s one per household, not one per individual guest that is invited. Anyone over the age of 18 years should get their own wedding invitations. Roommate get their own wedding invitations.
5. How to tell people the information of wedding website?
If we have save-the-date card, put the wedding website information on it. If don’t have it, we can the website address with an insert to the wedding invitation ensemble.
6. How to make people know this is an adults only wedding?
Many people still think it is not polite to have an adult only wedding, but many people think this is a good idea to have a perfect wedding. If you are going to have such a wedding, address your invitations correctly—to each guest by name, not "and guest"—and guests should understand that the invite is meant for only those mentioned. If you find that some reply with their children's names added, give them a call and explain you're having an adults-only wedding and you hope they can still attend.
7. Who should we give a “plus one”?
If we are going to have a small wedding, then we don’t need to give people a “plus one”. But if they don’t really know anyone at your wedding and would enjoy it better with a guest, give them a plus one.
8. How to tell people the dress code?
If you have special dress code, then you can put the information on the lower right corner of the wedding invitation (use a smaller matching font).
9. Where should we put the return address?
We usually print the return address on the back flap of the envelope. For the RSVP return envelope, the return address should be the that of the person(s) whom you’ve designated to receive response cards. Remember the RSVP envelope should include proper postage for return mailing.
