There’s More to Wedding Invitations Than You Might Think
Everybody talks about wedding invitations, but what about all the terms associated with them. Here are explanations of some of the more common ones that you’ll probably encounter while invitation shopping.
Seal n Send Invitations: This simple wedding invitation style is also economical for several reasons. It is a single-folded piece with the response postcard attached to the invitation by a perforation for easy removal. Since the response piece is a postcard, you will save on postage for the return mailing. The mailing envelope is eliminated since the entire invitation folds up into its own self-mailing piece. Prices for this product normally include seals along with a printed return address on both the back flap and on the perforated response postcard.
Reception Cards: If there isn’t enough room on your wedding invitation for listing your reception details, reception cards can be ordered to match your invitations and then be included as a separate insert. Please keep in mind that this card could possibly add to your mailing cost since postage is based on weight.
Response Cards: These cards are essential to planning for your dinner/reception since an accurate guest attendance count will be needed for food and seating preparations. The response card along with its mailing envelope will be inserted with your wedding invitation. Remember to include a postage stamp on this small envelope which will also come pre-printed with your chosen mailing address so all your guests will have to do is fill it out and mail it back by your requested date.
Map/Direction Cards: These direction cards would be included as a convenience for any guests who might not be familiar with the location of the church and/or reception.
Lined Inner Envelopes: For a small charge, you can request your inner envelopes have a colored lining to add a special touch to your wedding invitation ensemble. Color choices will vary depending on the invitation style you choose.
Printed Invitation Envelope Flaps: This option of having your return address printed on the outside envelope can save you valuable time and ensure that undeliverable wedding invitations are returned to you. There is a small cost involved but it also gives an address to those who might not be able to attend but still want to send you a card or gift.
Envelope Seals: These self-adhesive labels add just the right finishing touch. They are available in many styles and are used on your outer envelope making it look like they are holding the flap down even though it has already been sealed.
Announcements: For those who won’t be invited to your wedding but you would still like them to know about your marriage, you can mail them an announcement card. Even though they are mailed either on your wedding day or immediately after with the wording announcing that your wedding has already taken place, they can be printed on paper matching your invitations.
Informal Notes: These are used separately from your wedding invitations but should be included with your original order since they are usually printed on matching paper and this will save you on shipping costs. The front of the card is personalized with either your names or monogram and the inside is blank for your personal written thank you note. Any leftovers can be used long after the wedding for other purposes. Blank mailing envelopes are included with them.
Not all of the above items are necessary to make your wedding invitations complete. Remember, this is your special day, so it’s your decision as to which ones you would like to include as part of your invitation ensemble.
Girls, what do you think of this idea?
Okay, I haven't gotten a girlfriend, yet. But when I do, I have this card sealed up for her. I was given this box of cards to give to people in special events. I chose one that was for a girl that you love, and I wrote down a note. I then wrote a poem, and hid it inside the card. I also put in a necklace with a heart-shaped charm. It has a key-shaped cut in it, and above the cut says, "He who holds the key can unlock my heart." After I put all of this in there, I put it in the envelope that came with the card and put one of those wax seals on it. (I have a stick of wax that is used to seal letters, and a ceramic seal stamp.) I promised myself that when I find my dream girl, and I know that she loves me, I will give the card to her. So, what do you think? Too mushy? Too girly?
I think it is terrific!!! It kind hearted and something original. Its something to be cherished. You thought it up and kept it for THAT special girl.
Now... go, go, go!! Find that special girl! And make sure she is the one before giving it to her. Be sure she loves you as much as you love her!
