Traditional Wedding Invitation
Your wedding invitation can be done formally or customary and you may include several things inside it. Formally, the invitation card will include the reception card, map or direction card, and response cards. The reception card is inserted together with the mail most especially if the reception will be held in a different location from the ceremony. The map or direction card, as itself tells so, is the indication where the wedding event will be held, can done as written step by step direction or drawn with a map. Then the response card is the confirmation of the guest whether he or she will attend or not and who and how many will he or she be together with. The invitation text may vary however on the country, culture, language, or the preference of the host. Written inside it is addressed to a third-party person including the name of the hosts, the name of the groom and bride, the time, and location of the event.
It is always fun to include more things in your invitation such as the following:
* Save the date cards. A great way to let your out of town guests know about your wedding date is to send Save-the-Date cards. They may be essential for planning flights and taking time off around peak vacation times. Save-the-dates should be sent out at least 3 months in advance of your wedding date, but it is recommended to send them 5 months to a year in advance. This card may match your invitation; you can pick a similar card in a smaller size or choose a very simple version of your invitation. You may also opt to pick a card that is more casual or reflects the location or theme of your wedding
* Informal/Thank You Cards. The informal card can be ordered to match your invitation and is most commonly used as thank you notes. It can be printed with 'Thank You', your names, a monogram or a motif on the outside. The inside is left blank allowing you to write a small personal message. Thank you notes can match your wedding invitations or your personality; just remember that you will need plenty of them. You will be writing thank you notes for more than just your wedding. There are always many occasions surrounding your main event where gifts are given and there are many people to thank for their gift of support.
* At-Home Cards. This card allows you to tell friends and family of your new address and the date you will begin residing there.
* Pew Cards. Also known as within-the-ribbon card. This is sent to guests you want to honor by having them seated in reserved pews closest to the altar, or "within the ribbon". This lets the usher know who gets the special treatment.
* Wedding Programs. Wedding programs are an extra touch of formality that help guests understand the direction a formal ceremony is going in, what is being done next, and the explanation of any special rites that are unfamiliar to people of a different religion. They can also be used as tributes to special people in your lives. For the most elegant look, have the same printer of your invitations also print your programs. This way, you can be sure that the paper stock and type style chosen will match your invitations perfectly.
* Place Cards. Place cards help your guests find which table they are seated at and are usually blank or printed with your name with space for your guests' names and table number, if they aren't already placed on the table. This is great when you have a special seating arrangement and you want your guests to find their place without any problems. They are also helpful in letting your caterers know who is having the chicken or the vegetarian option. You may tie different colored ribbons on the place cards or use stickers to indicate the different meal choices your guests have made.
