The Wedding Invitation Ensemble

Wedding Invitations are available in a wide variety of designs, lettering styles and ink colors to let you create a wedding that is distinctly you! Customizing your invitations to fit your personality, unique style, theme and mood of your wedding is important. That’s why Celebrations! offers you virtually endless possibilities in customizing. All invitation wording is selected or created by you, including your choice of adding a special verse. Invitations are used to inform all your guests of your wedding date, time and location, but they should also be a reflection of you and your wedding.

Make sure to order 25 extra invitations at the time of your original order to avoid expensive reorders. Ordering 25 more at a later date is considered a new order, which is very costly. Extra invitations will allow for addressing errors, and last minute additions to your guest list. Before mailing, bring a completed invitation (including any and all enclosures) to your nearby post office to find out correct postage. Allow enough time for guests to make appropriate arrangements for your wedding by mailing your invitations approximately eight weeks prior to your event.

The Outer Envelope

The larger, gummed envelope is the mailing envelope. The recipient’s name and address should be written on the front of the envelope. Names and addresses should be written in full, without abbreviations. The sender’s return address should be printed on the back flap.

The Inner Envelope

The smaller, ungummed envelope is used to hold the invitation and enclosure cards and is inserted into the outer envelope. The inner envelope should have only the recipient’s title and surname handwritten on the front, such as “Mr. and Mrs. Jones”. The first name of children who are invited may be written under the name of the parents, such as “Michael and Lisa”.

Lined Inner Envelopes

Add elegance to your invitations with beautifully lined inner envelopes. The special touch of a richly colored liner shows your guests you’ve paid attention to every detail.

The Reception Card

Reception cards are enclosed with your invitation to announce the time and location of the wedding dinner, dance or other celebration.

The Respond Card

Response Cards provide an accurate guest count. Guests return the card in the accompanying printed envelope, indicating if they will attend. As a courtesy, a stamp should be affixed to the envelope. The respond card and envelope are enclosed with your invitations.

The Informal or Thank You Note

Handwritten notes of thanks are essential to guests for their gifts or contributions to your wedding. Printed with your married names or monogram on the front, these notes can be used as personal stationery long after your wedding.
