There' More to Invitations Than You Might Think
Everybody talks about wedding invitations, but what about all the other
terms and items that are associated with them. Below are explanations of
some of the more common terms and items that you'll probably encounter
while shopping for your invitations.
Seal
n Send Invitations: This type of invitation is mailed to guests as a
single-folded piece (without an envelope) having the respond postcard attached
to the invitation by a perforation for easy removal. Since the respond piece
is a postcard, you will save on postage for the return mailing. Prices for
this product normally include seals along with a printed return address
on both the back flap when initially mailing the invitation and on the perforated
respond postcard.
Announcements: For those who wont be invited to your wedding but
you would still like them to know about your marriage, you can mail them
an announcement card. They can be printed on the same paper as your invitation
but mailed on your wedding day or immediately after with the wording stating
that your wedding has already taken place.
Reception Cards: If there isn't enough room on your invitation
for listing the details of your reception or if not all guests will be invited
to attend the reception, reception cards can be ordered to match your invitations
and then be included as a separate insert. Please keep in mind that this
card could possibly add to your mailing cost since postage is based on weight.
Respond Cards: These cards are essential to planning for your dinner/reception
since an accurate guest attendance count will be needed for food and seating
preparations. The respond card along with its mailing envelope will be inserted
with your invitation. Remember to include a postage stamp on this small
envelope which will also have a mailing address already printed on it so
all your guests have to do is fill out the card and mail it back by the
date you have printed on it.
Map Cards:
Map Cards: These direction cards would be included as a convenience
for any guests who might not be familiar with the location of the church
and/or reception.
Printed Invitation Envelope Flaps: This option of having your return
address printed on the outside envelope can save you valuable time and ensure
that undeliverable invitations are returned to you. There is a small cost
involved but it also gives an address to those who might not be able to
attend but still want to send you a card or gift.
Lined Inner Envelopes: For a small charge, you can request your inner
envelopes have a colored lining to add a special touch to your invitation
ensemble. Color choices will vary depending on the invitation style you
choose.
Envelope Seals: These self-adhesive labels add just the right finishing
touch. They are available in many styles and are used on your outer envelope
making it look like they are holding the flap down even though it has already
been sealed.
Informal Notes: These are used separately from your invitations but
should be included with your original order since they are usually printed
on matching paper and this will save you on shipping costs. They are personalized
with either your names or monogram on the front with the inside being blank
for writing your thank you notes. Any leftovers can be used long after the
wedding for other purposes. Blank mailing envelopes are included with them.
Not all of the above items are necessary to make your wedding invitations
complete. Remember, this is your special day, so it's your decision
as to which ones you would like to include as part of your invitation ensemble.
