Choosing your wedding invitations and thank you notes can be a big job. You should choose an invitation theme that would reflect you and your partner. Also choose a theme that reflects the theme of the wedding. For instance, go with a seasonal invitation if you are having a spring, fall, or winter wedding. If it is to be a formal wedding, go with an elegant ceremonial invitation. You won't have any problems if you are having an outdoor or destination wedding.
Ordering The Invitations
When you order wedding invitations, you should consider who will address them. You can hire a calligrapher or even do it yourself. Just be aware that it can be very time-consuming. You should also order extra wedding invitations in case you make mistakes. It's also ideal to order thank you notes at the same time. Doing so will save time and shipping money.
Sending The Invitations
Usually, invitations are sent a few weeks prior to the wedding. If the wedding is formal, send the invites 8 weeks before the event. Send the invitations three weeks before the big day for less formal weddings. In any case, the invitations should be sent out with enough time for guests to make arrangements to attend. For destination weddings, be sure you give your guests plenty of time to buy their tickets if you're not the one who will provide for them.
Thank you notes are a totally different story. You can send them up to a year after the wedding. But it would always be better if you send them earlier. If there in no written record of who attend and what gifts they gave, a year can too long to remember, and thank you notes are not as personalized. You should really make a list of the people who attended your wedding and who gave what gifts. Make an effort to send your thank you notes as soon as possible after the wedding. The details will be fresher in your mind, so you can be more personal with your thank you notes.
Your wedding invitations and thank you notes should be paired with the wedding from start to end. The invitations have such a big role in a wedding, so choose carefully.
