Invitations printed and mailed
The formalities of wedding planning!
"Invitations printed and mailed" is a significant milestone in the wedding planning process. Here's a breakdown of what this step typically entails:
Design and Printing:
- The wedding invitation design is finalized, taking into account the couple's personal style, wedding theme, and color scheme.
- The design is then printed on high-quality paper or cardstock, ensuring a professional and elegant appearance.
Mailing:
- The printed invitations are carefully packaged and addressed to each guest, including the RSVP information and any additional details (e.g., dress code, reception location).
- The invitations are mailed to guests via first-class mail or, in some cases, via email or online invitation platforms.
Timing:
- Invitations are typically mailed 6-8 weeks before the wedding date to allow guests sufficient time to RSVP and make travel arrangements.
- Some couples may choose to send save-the-date cards or digital invitations earlier, while others may opt for a more traditional approach with formal paper invitations.
Etiquette:
- It's essential to include all the necessary details, such as the wedding date, time, location, dress code, and RSVP information.
- Guests should be instructed on how to RSVP, including the deadline and contact information (e.g., phone number, email, or online RSVP link).
- The invitation should also include any relevant information about the wedding ceremony, reception, and other events (e.g., rehearsal dinner, brunch).
By sending out printed and mailed invitations, the couple is formally inviting their guests to join them on their special day, setting the tone for a memorable and joyous celebration.
