Should a Reply Card Be Put On Wedding Invitations

Wednesday, June 8th, 2011

There was once a time when wedding invitations were just wedding invitations, and by that I mean that when you received it in your mail all you came across when opened was just the wedding invite. But that has long since changed, and now we have more invitations accessories sent along with the main attraction, of which the most crucial is considered the reply card or the R.S.V.P. card.

R.S.V.P. stands for “répondez, s’il vous plait” which means “please reply” in French. As a mode of allowing the invited guests to confirm their attendance or pass on their regrets, many couples and guests have agreed that this part of etiquette is much needed. There are many modes of RSVP-ing, one which is via phone, where the invitee can call in and relate their attendance to the event, or via email and of course via reply card. Now, on the matter of whether wedding invitations are really necessary, there are many opinions to this fact. Many people say you should go ahead and do it due to many reasons. These reasons are regarded with certain invitation etiquette, which we will look into in depth.

We, at DreamDay Invitations recommend that your wedding invitations should be dispatched to your guests at least six weeks before the wedding, thus giving them enough notice to make sure that they do not double-book the date and also make arrangements for travel, in case they are from out-of-town. By doing so, it allows you to set your R.S.V.P. deadline to about three weeks prior. This way you can figure out a final head count as well as the seating arrangements depending on it, as you may opt to include an area which requests a number of attendees. This is just one reason why reply cards are important.

Another reason DreamDay Invitations figures that reply cards are important is in case you have specific dietary needs, say for example, if the guest is a vegan, then certain concessions must be made, or even if the guest has specific allergies, for example is lactose intolerant, they should be noted. Like so, it is important.

Of course, you can reply with your attendance via email or even via phone, but ensuring that all the relevant information with regard to a respective guest is in one place, then a reply card would be the most efficient. Therefore, when sending out your wedding invitations along with the reply card make sure that information such as the number of guests, their dining preferences and such are all included so that guests will know exactly how they should reply.

Unique Wedding Invitations

Wednesday, May 11th, 2011

As you make plans for your wedding, to make it personal and truly ‘yours’, there are many things that can lead up to that. One of the main and primal wedding elements that your guests and invitees will see would be the wedding invitations. Acting both as an announcement and as an invitation, making your wedding invitations unique, depends on what you have envisioned for yourself. If the theme you have chosen requires certain touches and elements that are normally not found in weddings, then you have something that’s unique, and thereby trying to infuse it into your wedding invitations will make it even more personal. There are ways in which unique wedding invitations can come to be, and they include the design on the facing of your invites or the ways that added plus has been incorporated. Let’s look into those, shall we?

If you take the design of your unique wedding invitation, it means to say that you want to make it look like nothing anyone has seen before. This would involve using styling or design elements that are out of the box. Rather than opting for clear or blank facing with minimalistic design, that would mean shades of colour that complements each other by blending together seamlessly, and using the least amount of contrast of lines and shapes, mixing things up to create something new and exciting. For example, using contrasts would be a great idea, especially if you and your fiancé love it, then it’s making it personal. If you want to put to use intricate designs, such as damask or other ornate designs, mixing that up with colour then you can do so as well.

The point is to make it look dashing and ending up with what you would call a unique wedding invitation, one that will marvel your guests with awe. Another way of doing so is with treatments and embellishments. You can add a treatment such as embossing, engraving or even foil printing to accentuate the look of your already exciting design, allowing for a great hand-feel and also a touch of glitz. If you want to go a little further, then you can also add trims that would make it sparkle. Be it a little trinket, a buckle touched with a little lace, you can use all these things to make your unique wedding invitations wonderful and one to remember. Now, don’t forget, the key is to make it truly personal. What you and your fiancé prefer goes a long way.
