Discount Wedding Invitations: How to Avoid Common Mistakes
Making the right choice for your wedding invitations is crucial, especially when you're looking to save money. Here's a guide to help you select beautiful yet affordable wedding invitations without making common mistakes.
Tips for Choosing Discount Wedding Invitations
1. Set a Budget and Get Creative: Just as there are expensive invitations, there are also beautiful, affordable options. Be creative and explore different sources to find the perfect ones.
2. Choose a Theme and Color Scheme: Your invitation should reflect the theme and colors of your wedding, giving guests a hint of what to expect.
3. Finalize Your Guest List: Knowing the number of guests will help you order the right amount of invitations.
4. Select a Personal Style: Choose a design that mirrors your personality and hints at the style of the wedding.
5. Start Early: Begin planning about eight months ahead. This allows you ample time to perfect the wording and make any necessary changes.
6. Confirm Wedding Details: Before ordering, make sure all details like the date, time, and venues are set.
7. Consult Professionals: Seek expert advice on the design for a polished look.
8. Mind Your Wording: Proper wording and etiquette are important. Consult a professional to ensure everything is placed correctly.
9. Order Extra Invitations: Have a few extra on hand to account for any last-minute additions or mistakes.
10. Provide Typewritten Text: When providing wording to the printer, type it out clearly to avoid errors.
11. Infuse Your Style: Combine different materials for a unique and personal touch.
Invitation Etiquette
1. Separate Reception Details: Include a reception card if the ceremony and reception are at different locations, with its own envelope.
2. Proper Addressing: Avoid phrases like "and Family." Include children's names if they're under 18; send separate invitations to those over 18.
3. Personalize for Relatives: Use familiar names, like "Uncle Henry and Aunt Beth," for close family members, even in formal invitations.
4. Mailing Timeline: Send invitations six to eight weeks before the wedding. If your wedding is during a busy season or involves out-of-town guests, send them earlier.
5. Dress Code Indication: If your wedding is formal, include "black tie" in the lower right corner of the invitation.
Wording and Assembly Dos and Don'ts
- Avoid Nicknames: Use full names where appropriate; exclude middle names if desired, but never use initials.
- No Abbreviations: Abbreviate only Mr., Mrs., or Dr. Write other titles and details fully.
- Write Out Dates and Times: Avoid abbreviating them.
- Use 'And' Instead of '&': Write the word "and" fully.
Invitation Assembly
1. Envelope Placement: Place the invitation in the large envelope, ensuring it faces you, alongside its protective tissue.
2. Layer Your Inserts: Place the reception card and response card on top of the invitation.
3. Include Directions: Add any maps or directional inserts last.
4. Address Elegantly: Use calligraphy or a stylish font for addressing.
5. Choose a Coordinating Stamp: Complement your invitation’s design with an appropriate postage stamp.
6. Hand Cancellation: If possible, request that the post office hand-cancel your invitations to avoid unattractive marks.
By following these guidelines, you can find beautiful, budget-friendly wedding invitations without sacrificing quality or style.
