You might have been through the process of planning the wedding and that you already made and printed out copies of wedding invitations. The question is how you will distribute it so that your friends would know that you are going to be married. Here are some tips that you can use to make your distribution of wedding invitations right and proper.
What are the acceptable ways of giving out wedding invitations?
The wedding invitation may or may not include a reception card. If the wedding ceremony will be held in a place different from the reception, a reception card may be included in the envelope. If the event will take place in the same venue, additional wordings should state so in the bottom part of the invitation. Make sure all the words, date, and time are properly and clearly stated in the invitations.
Wedding invitations should be written or worded properly. The names and addresses should be in its correct spelling and it should be written formally. For close friends, you may write their names casually. But for those important and special guests that you are planning to invite, make sure that their names are written formally and completely so they would see that they are important to you and that you really want them to share with you this joyous moment.
Wedding invitations are normally handed out personally, but if you have to invite some friends from other place far from where you are, you may mail your invitations. But you should also give proper considerations to your finances or financial budget for the wedding. You may think of saving on expenses by sending invitations ahead of time. Two months may be enough time if you want to send invitations to some of your friends and relatives who are far away. Regular mode of postal delivery usually costs less than special delivery.
It is also important to include in the wedding invitations the desired attire that you want your guests to wear when they attend your wedding day. This will help them decide which attire to wear and they will not feel awkward when they attend your big day.
Things you should steer clear of when sending out wedding invitations:
You should not simply address an envelope to Mr. and Mrs. Howard Anderson. You need to be sure that kids that are under 18 years old are listed on the invitation as and Family and that children that are 18 years and older are sent their own invitations.
Nicknames should not be written on the envelope of the wedding invitations. The proper way of putting the name is just the first and last name. Avoid putting the middle names or the middle initials because some would prefer not to see their middle names on any invitation.
Do not use abbreviations when you are writing out wedding invitations. The only time it is acceptable is when you are writing Mr., Mrs. And Dr. Otherwise all other titles and names need to be completely written out.
The date, time, and address of the wedding ceremony and reception should also be written in complete details and not in abbreviations so the guests would not be confused of what you are trying to instruct them.
Avoid the use of "&" symbol in the invitation. If you need to do it, just write the word "and".
The wedding event and celebrations is much important than the invitation, but it would be best if you will design your invitations in such a unique and special way because, even years after the wedding day, you and your guests would still recall the event when they see the invitations. You will also be reminded of the persons who came to share with you and witness your ever-dreamt-of event in your entire life. - 15784
