| | Tips on ordering your invitations
Base the number of invitations you order on guests within households, not per guest.
Remember to include everyone in the wedding party as well as your officiate.
Order at least 25 extra invitations for keepsakes and to cover for last minute guests. Reordering additional invitations, which in most cases can be done in quantities of 25, may be almost as expensive as your original order.
Order extra inner and outer envelopes, as they will be valuable if mistakes are made while addressing.
Addressing of the double envelopes (outer and inner) serves a useful purpose; it permits the bride and groom to be very specific as to who is invited. Only the names of the people mentioned in the inner envelopes are expected as your guests.
Assign a number to each of your guests and lightly write that number on the back of the response card. It will allow you to know to whom the response cards belongs in case your guests accidentally omit their name. | | | How to use titles correctly
Mr.: Any man, single or married, not using a professional title
Miss: Any woman who has never been married or any woman whose marriage has been annulled.
Ms.: Any single woman over the age of 21, or any woman using a professional name regardless of
marital status, or any divorced or widowed woman with no children.
Ms. is not for use on formal stationery and is not an abbreviation.
Mrs.: Any legally married woman, or any divorced woman who has retained her married name, or a widowed woman who has not remarried.
Dr.: Any person holding a professional medical degree. "Dr." is not the same as
a Ph.D.
| Timing for Invitations
Invitations should be sent 4-6 weeks prior to the date of the wedding.
Response cards should be returned generally speaking by 2 weeks prior to the actual date. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | About Us
