ANNUAL 2010 SUMMER HOLIDAY SHUTDOWN
31ST JULY - 15TH AUGUST
FAQ When Making Wedding Stationery
Will I save money by making my own invitations?
The straight answer is : YES. By pc printing your own invitations, you are likely to pay approximately a third the price of pre-printed stationery. You also have the opportunity to provide guests with a unique and hand-made invite, while still creating professional and high quality stationery for your guests.
When are Wedding Invitations typically sent Out?
Typical time scales for sending out wedding invitations before a wedding is approximately 6-8 weeks. If you are planning a summer wedding in holiday season, it may be wise to send out a "Save the Date" card well in advance, to ensure guests do not book holidays for the same time. Consider maybe sending out the day invitations in advance of evening invitations - to allow you fill any spaces from unexpected "declines".
Is a Card RSVP necessary?
In the current age of e-mail, mobile phones and texts, many couples are choosing not to include a card RSVP but instead to they may request RSVPs by e-mail or phone. The choice is of course entirely yours. Traditional wedding invitations were always sent out with a small reply card included and many couples still choose to do this. In the long run, it may pay off, as most who receive are likely to send a reply back if it is written, and there ready to post back! It is your wedding - choose what's best, and what suits you!!
How many wedding invitations should I make?
You will need one invite per single person, one per couple, and one per family. Make sure to go through your guest list and add up exactly how many you'll need - we find people do sometimes forget that they don't need one per guest :) We recommend adding at least an extra 10 invitations to account for last-minute guests and writing errors.
Do I need to send wedding invitations to close family members?
The short answer is - yes! It's both good manners and good politics :)
How much is too much information?
If in doubt, include more information about the location and venue, rather than less! Many couples nowadays include:
- Maps of the area
- Direction to the wedding and reception
- A short list of hotels and other accomodation available in the area for those travelling
Gift lists are not typically included with the invitation, but only sent if specifically requested. The reason is to not give the impression to guests that a gift is required to attend the wedding!
