Helpful Hints for Wedding Invitations!
Your wedding invitation gives your guests the first glimpse of your big event. Here are
some helpful hints to get you started off right:
The proper color of ink for the traditional wedding is black.
Formal invitations require the use of full name; initials and nick-names should
not be used. Also, remember to spell out titles such as "Doctor" or "The Reverend."
The joining line, between the Bride’s name and the Groom’s name, usually
consists of the word "to." But Jewish and Catholic invitations use the word "and."
Each member of the bridal party should receive an invitation as well as their
guests, the officiant, and all guests 18 and over.
Assembly should go as follows:
Invitation
Tissue paper
Enclosures
Ungummed envelope
Outer envelope
Everything faces the envelope flap.
For addressing your invitations by hand, black has long been the accepted color of
ink.
Your guests names should never be abbreviated, although it is acceptable to use
abbreviations such as "Dr.", "Mr." or "Mrs."
The inner envelope does not include first names or addresses. Children under 18
are printed on a separate line.
Before purchasing stamps for your outer envelope take one complete invitation to
the post office to be weighed. The irregular shape of the invitation may also require
extra postage.
Order your invitations at least three months before the big day. Send your
invitations out six to eight weeks before the wedding.
