The obvious information that should be included in a wedding invitation is the names of the , as well as the date, time, and venue of the ceremony.

Getting Down to the Particulars Numbers are important when preparing a wedding invitation. Knowing how many invitations to and when to mail them are important numbers for your wedding invitation. The general guidelines for sending out invitations to your wedding is six weeks to 12 months before the ceremony.

Essential Information There are a few things that your wedding invitation must contain. Your guests need to know the who, what, where, and when of your wedding, and your invitation should contain all that information. Therefore, you need to provide your guests with your names, the , and the reception site's name and address. Remember, not everyone will know this information without you providing that information.

Helpful Information Most likely you will be inviting friends and family that are not necessarily familiar with the area in which your wedding will be taking place. Therefore, you should provide them with the information they need to make their plans. Make sure you insert and hotel information for your guests.



Don't just assume that some guests know the information, place the helpful information in all the invitations. Some guests may not want to drive home after a reception, so they may want to stay in the hotel near your reception. Therefore, you will need a map and information insert for all invitations. You can print the information on a card that matches the paper for the invitation or save money by printing out the information using your own personal printer.

s Most likely you are including a response card in your wedding invitation. Make sure that the response card or response card envelope already has postage on it. First, it is the polite thing to do. Second, it will ensure a greater response from your guests if they do not have to remember to put on their own postage. Thus, when you are calculating your costs for your , do not forget that you will need at least two stamps per invitation. However, if you have a specialty invitation you may want to get your invitations weighed to know the exact postage needed.

Also, you may want to add a place for any special dietary considerations on your response cards. Often couples offer a choice of chicken or beef, but sometimes guests have food allergies or special dietary considerations for which you may want to make a few special accommodations.

And designers are usually working at the graphics on the card. However, there is a possibility that we treat the wedding invitation as a three dimensional product so that it will no longer be a flat sheet of paper.

On of the ideas of this kind of three dimensional wedding invitation is a invitation. This notion of glass bottle in fact perfectly fits a beach . You can put some sand from the beach you are going to hold your wedding into the bottle. Other ingredients such as small shells can also be used to decorate your glass bottle invitation. In this case you will only need to print a simple piece of paper containing the details of your wedding. This piece of should not be a fancy one otherwise it may overwhelm the power of the glass bottle, in terms of design.

Another interesting application of the idea of glass bottle invitation is that you can express every detail in your lives using the bottle. For example, if you are going to invite 300 guests. You can start collecting bottles 300 days before you send the wedding invitation. In a morning you keep the glass bottle of milk for your breakfast. The other day you may keep another bottle when you finish a .

After you have collected all these bottles, you can print the information of your wedding on pieces of elegant paper and put them in the bottles. Every guest will be receiving a different bottle. And each bottle signifies your lives within these 300 days before your wedding.

If you are going to adapt this idea of glass bottle wedding invitation, you have to think of some practical issues. Firstly a glass bottle can be a lot heavier than a normal invitation card, this may make the higher than you expect. You should ask for the rates of postage well before you make the decision.

Besides, there is no doubt that glass products are something that can be easily broken. You will need to pay extra attention to the package of the invitation before mailing them out. It will be a pity if any of your guests receive some broken bottles. Of course there will be less problematic if you are going to send the invitations to most of your guests personally but that will certainly take you some time and money to do that.

If you would like to ease the problem of broken glass bottles, you may also consider using plastic bottle as substitutes. Some companies offer such bottles with a lower price than glass bottles. You can certainly save some money by using plastic bottles. It is on one hand cheaper than glass bottles and on the other hand lighter so that the cost of postage will be lower. However, if budget is not a problem to you, I will still suggest you to use glass bottles since the texture of a glass bottle is a lot different from a plastic one.

This is not really a small . Indeed some couples may find that weddings are something quite expensive, if not extremely expensive. To this end, a couple will probably like to seek for different for their wedding.

Although the cost for producing may not be too much compared to other items for wedding such as the cost of taking wedding photos, it is still worth lowering the cost for making the wedding cards. The cost can be controlled by . Money can be saved by choosing the right material, controlling the adopted, using a ready made envelop and pay as much as attention to the proof reading of the wedding card.

Choose the right material

The material contributes to about 50% of the cost for a wedding invitation. There is that the cost of using a glass bottle will be a lot higher than using a printing card. Assuming that a couple will choose a printing card, different kinds of paper will still play a significant role for the cost of the wedding invitation.

Some people are eager to get a thicker card. However, the cost of a card, of 300gsm, say, is more expensive that a card of 200gsm. A balance should be taken for the thickness and cost. Normally, a card of 210gsm to 250gsm will be good enough since the "total thickness" will be doubled when it is folded.

Besides the thickness, the type of paper chosen also affects the cost. Usually paper with recycle contents is more expensive. A couple may still go for that even if it is more expensive since we should try our best to protect our Earth. Paper with texture and sparkling effects will also cost more. You can always ask your printer for different kind of paper in order to get the cheapest and most acceptable one.

Control the printing and post printing processes adopted

A card with one color printing will be a lot cheaper than a card with four color printing. Of course it will be more flexible with a four color printing, but a card with only one color can also be excellent. A black and white wedding photo delivers a quality of romance which is beloved by many professional photographers.

Embossing and hot stamping are also post printing processes that will make the cost of wedding invitation higher. In fact the costs of embossing and hot stamping are usually determined by the area of getting embossed and hot stamped. A larger area will lead to a higher cost. If you really like the effects of these processes, you can lower the cost by controlling the area of embossing and hot stamping.

Choose ready made envelopes

You will certainly need envelopes for your wedding invitation. Choosing a ready made envelop will make the cost a lot lower. Tailor made envelopes can cost as much as USD3.00 each. It is sure that a tailor made envelope will be a bit more elegant and interesting since you can control not only the material used to make the envelope but also the way of folding.

However, ready made envelopes are usually good enough for your wedding card in most cases. In fact wedding invitation providers usually have different collections of ready made envelopes for you to choose from. You can try to choose the one you like most from these collections and take the idea of tailor made envelopes as the last resort.

Read the contents of the invitation carefully

You should always read the contents about the details of the wedding ceremony and reception on the wedding invitation carefully. You may need to print the whole thing again if you find that there are mistakes after all the invitation cards are printed.

As a result you should never think the proof reading is something unimportant. You will need to take extra care on the spelling of the words, and also the date and time of the wedding reception.

Laying a Foundation

The first thing you need to consider is the wedding host. The person hosting the wedding is the one who is paying for it. Frequently this is the bride's .

It's important to note who is paying for the wedding because technically, they are inviting the guests. Some people can be very sensitive about this, so make sure you ask.

If the bride's parents are paying for the wedding, you need to say something like, "Mr. and his wife Mrs. Ella Doe request the honor of your presence at the marriage of their daughter, Emma Doe to John Parks." If the couple is paying for the wedding themselves, they can directly invite their guests.

The next thing you need include is the date and the time. Traditionally, the date and time are spelled out. So, instead of saying the wedding is at 5:30 p.m., you would say, "at five thirty in the evening." Spelling out the time and date makes the invitation look more formal.

Usually the location is listed after the date and time.
