What is a Wedding Invitation Set?

The invitation is the announcement of your wedding  it includes the important information, participants, time and date , location . It can also accentuate the theme of your wedding with the style colour or type of invitation.

 But what else is included in a Stationery package for a wedding?

First is your invitation, everything else is based on that.

The inner envelope contains your Invitation as well as the RSVP card and its pre addressed envelope. This envelope is not used for mailing and generally it will not have glue on the flap, it should be identified as an INNER envelope when you recieve your Invitation Set.

The outer envelope contains the inner envelope and is used for addressing and mailing purposes. The envelope should ALWAYS have a return address on it. The return address on an envelope for a celebration is placed on the flap of the envelope not on the front. You should check with your local postal service for any limitations on size/ text, or font limitations.

The Reply card (RSVP) is your confirmation that your guest will or will not be attending .  These are very important for your planning , your caterer and hotel will need these numbers . One quick little trick , number your RSVP cards on the back, keep a list of the numbers that way you will know who forgot to sign their card before they mailed it back . ( yes it does happen with distressing regularity).

The RSVP envelope comes pre addressed ( at least ours do) . They fit into the inner envelope along with the RSVP and the Invitation.

That is our basic wedding package and will do the job quite well for most people.

Thank you cards, and announcements  are also very useful. You can save time and money if you order them all at the same time as your wedding package, using the same card as the RSVP is maintains the theme of your wedding and saves you some money as well.

Save the date cards are sent 6 to 8 months in advance of the wedding , using the wedding theme for what ever style of card /magnet announcement that you like lets your guests know what is coming.

Shower, bachelorette, bachelor invitations are also nice touches and you can have some fun with them, they are not as bound by tradition as a lot of the wedding stationery is.
