Hints and tips for your wedding invitations:-
1. Both to chose the wedding invitation designs you desire – let them reflect your romantic mood and who you are. Make sure you leave plenty of time for the wedding invitations to be printed and delivered to you at least 8 weeks prior to your wedding date. Rule of thumb for sending out wedding invitations is 6 weeks prior to the wedding. This gives people the opportunity to diarise this invitation, get their new attire, and of course purchase that all important gift especially for you.
2. Who should the invitation come from? It is customary that the wedding invitation should appear to be sent from whoever is paying for the reception. e.g. Traditionally it has been the parents of the bride that provide the recption for their daughter, new husband, friends and relatives so if it is the brides parents that are paying, then the wedding invitation should state Jeff and Martha Jones cordially invite you to the wedding of their daughter Frieda to Theodore Murphy on (date), at (time of ceremony and location) and afterwards in (Venue and Location) for a wonderful wedding reception – RSVP. if it is a joint effort where both parents and bride and groom are all chipping in for the reception then the invitation goes out from all, if it is the couple themselves then the invitations are sent out from both of you… etc..
3. Create an excel template with a list of all your friends and relatives that you wish to invite to your wedding. The headings required for this list are, name address, divided into brides and grooms friends, brides friends and relative, grooms friends, brides parents friends and relatives, groom friends etc. click here for excel sheet template….Our Wedding Invitation List and Timeline
4. Important decision to be made at this stage – will you be sending out evening invitations – if yes order separate evening invitations and for these there is no need for people to reply – ordering food for the extras is easy as the management at your reception venue will be able to let you know the quantities of food you will require that evening for all the invitees (this is a task that can be assigned to your best man so nothing for you to worry about). If “No” – then nothing further to be done on this.
5. Involve your parents in this list creation and give them a copy of your excel spreadsheet to add their selection of friends and relatives.
