When preparing your wedding invitations, there are some common mistakes you should avoid because your invitation is the first impression of your special day.
Not Giving Enough Time For Guest To Respond
When to send out your wedding invitations? This is an important question because your in-town guests need time to re-arrange aspects of their life (child care, days off work, etc.) and your out-of-town guests need time to find accommodations, get a gift and invite a plus one. It is recommended you send wedding invitations out at least 4 – 6 weeks. If you are planning a destination wedding you need more time, even a year in advance.
Lack of Instructions For Guest
Include explicit instructions in your invitation package for RSVPing, dress code and any accommodation information.Ensure all the pertinent details are clearly stated and grouped together in one place. By adhering to these guidelines, you can prevent any confusion or misunderstandings among your guests.
Not Reviewing The Details
Double-check all the details on your invitations, including the spelling of names, dates, and addresses. When proofreading your invitations, enlist the aid of a friend, to help catch grammatical errors or typos.
Excluding Return Labels
Moreover, consider incorporating return labels for your wedding invitations to simplify the process for both you and your guests. This thoughtful gesture will save time, effort, and money (returns) when addressing envelopes correctly. Remember, attention to detail is key in creating an unforgettable wedding invitation experience for everyone involved.
Not Including everything in your wedding invitations
IT MUST BE SAID AGAIN: Don’t forget to double-check that you have included all necessary enclosures, such as response cards or registry information in your invitation packet. Taking these precautions will ensure your wedding invitations are flawlessly executed and make a lasting impression on your guests.
The most special day of your life deserves to be a dream for you and momentous for your guest.
