Common Questions About Wedding Invitations

Wedding invitations often have lots of questions associated with them. Even the most staunch bridal magazine aficianado has a few questions up her sleeve. Let's take a peek into some common questions so that you'll be better prepared to tackle your wedding head on.

Some people ask, "Do I need a separate reception card if the following reception is at the same place as the wedding?" The answer, emphatically, is no. It's ok to append a small note at the bottom that says that the reception is to follow. Even if the reception is at a different location, you don't have to have a separate card sent. It's sufficient to include a whimsical little map at the end of the card so that people can make out the location of the reception. There's no need to waste money on a separate card.

Some people ask, "Who should the response card envelope be addressed to?"

The response card should be sent to anyone who is handling the organization of the guest list for the wedding. This is usually the bride (or the couple if they are living together), or the bride's mother. It does not have to match the return address on the invitation envelope.

A response card can definitely be sent to anyone that is handling the maintenance and organization of the guest list for the wedding. This is often the bride, the bride's mother, or the couple if they share the same residence together. RSVP's can be tough to work with so think hard about who can conveniently manage the replys. You'll enjoy viewing who's coming as they're mailed back to you.

Some people ask, "Do I require a calligrapher to address my invitations?"

The answer to that is no. A neat friend, an organized mother, or an artistic comrade can address the letter without the significant cost incurred of a nefarious calligrapher. Calligraphers are widely known to hike prices unfairly because they're the only ones in town that can perform the calligraphy. There are several organization that protest the wild ways of calligraphers.

Other people ask, "What about clothing recommendations?"

It's improper to suggest such a thing. It used to be proper in ancient England and Europe, but America phased it out entirely.

The aforementioned tips should help you in your wedding invitations.
