Are you preparing for your big day?

Undoubtedly sending out wedding invitations is an important aspect of the wedding event planning. The wedding invitation is not any ordinary piece of pretty paper! The wedding invitation has a lot more than you may think. It has emotions, the feel of the beginning of a new relationship, friendship, trust and a lot more.

However, when sending the invitations to the guests, there are few important things which you must not avoid.

1.Not providing the right time on wedding card

If you are planning to have your ceremony start time at 3 pm, it is obvious that your guests will start showing up 30 minutes earlier. It is important that the guests must be aware of the exact time you have planned the event to begin. This will help your guests to drop in on time enabling you getting the relief of waiting for too long for your grand entrance. The on-time arrival will also help you in tracking the bridal party running late. So, make sure you have mentioned the time on invitations and they have been highlighted so that the invited guests do not miss out while reading it.

2.Forgetting to mention all the details

The best wedding card is which has all the information including time, venue, etc. to keep the guest at ease for your wedding attendance. The important information mentioned on the card such as "Reception to follow," gives a clear indication that the reception will be at the same place of the ceremony.

Just in case the plan is different make sure the details are mentioned on the card.

3.Sending invitations too late

This one is extremely tricky!

There is no one particular ideal time to send the invitations. It depends on multiple factors, such as from which places your guests are coming? Are they within the city, out of the city or out of the country.

If the guests are within the city, a week or two earlier than your big day is fine. If the guests are coming from out of the city or out of the country, then it is better to send invitation a month or two earlier so that they can plan their trips accordingly.

4.Forgetting to put stamps on the RSVP envelopes

With regards to the etiquette, you're requesting your family and friends to send a RSVP which will guide you on who will be attending the event and what the number of total guests will be.

It's a part of courtesy from your side to pay their postage for these people with your invitation so they do not have the burden of sending back the details. So, make sure you send these two things with the invitation:

  • RSVP
  • An addressed and stamped envelope

When you invite the guests like this, you'll receive your RSVP's back again considerably quicker and folks won't forget!

These are four important things you must not forget when sending a wedding invitation or you might end up meeting any of your loved ones on a beautiful day. In case you are overburdened with wedding planning, Indian wedding planner to ease up your life.
