Wedding invitations mailing
The art of mailing wedding invitations! Here's a comprehensive guide to help you get started:
When to Mail:
- Typically, wedding invitations are mailed 6-8 weeks before the wedding date.
- However, if you're having a destination wedding or a large wedding, you may want to mail them 8-12 weeks in advance.
- If you're having a small, intimate wedding, you may be able to get away with mailing them 4-6 weeks in advance.
Who to Mail To:
- Make sure to include all the important guests on your list, including:
- Immediate family members
- Close friends
- Colleagues and acquaintances
- Anyone who has been invited to the wedding
How to Mail:
- Use a sturdy envelope that can withstand the rigors of mailing.
- Use a clear and legible address label or write the addresses by hand.
- Make sure to include the correct postage (check with your local post office for the current rates).
- Consider using a tracking number or signature confirmation to ensure your invitations arrive safely.
Tips and Tricks:
- Use a consistent font and design throughout the invitation to create a cohesive look.
- Include a response card or RSVP information to make it easy for guests to respond.
- Consider adding a dress code or other important details to the invitation.
- Make sure to proofread your invitations carefully to avoid any errors or typos.
- Consider using a professional printing service or online invitation platform to make the process easier and more efficient.
Example of a Wedding Invitation Mailing Timeline:
- 12 weeks before the wedding: Finalize your guest list and send out save-the-date cards (if applicable).
- 8 weeks before the wedding: Design and print your wedding invitations.
- 6 weeks before the wedding: Mail out the invitations.
- 4 weeks before the wedding: Send out reminders to guests who haven't responded yet.
Remember to stay organized, plan ahead, and have fun with the process!
