What to Include with Wedding Invitations

Sending out your wedding invitations is the first step in inviting your family and friends to your special day. But what should you be including with them? This guide will provide a few simple tips on what all to include with your wedding invitations to ensure that your guests are fully aware of what they need to know in order to attend your wedding.

The Invitation

The most obvious component in your invitation package is the invitation. This should include all the details of your wedding such as the day, date, time, and location. It should also give some insight into the style and theme of the event, such as if it will be a semi-formal or formal affair.

RSVP Card

Along with the invitation, you will want to include a return card with a self-addressed, stamped envelope to make it easy for your guests to respond. Be sure to include a polite request for an answer and the final date that you would like to have the responses by.

Extra Information

In addition to the invitation and RSVP card, you may want to include some additional information for your guests. This can include things such as:

  • Details on dress code – Will there be a specific dress code that your guests should pay attention to? If so, this should be included with the package.
  • Directions to the venue – Include either a map, a website link, or some type of directions so that guests can easily find their way to the wedding venue.
  • Accommodation information – If you have booked a block of rooms in a nearby hotel, it might be helpful to include this information, so guests can book as soon as possible.
  • Gift registry information – Include details of your registry site, so your guests know where to find it if they wish to get you a gift.

Thank You Note

Finally, it is always a nice gesture to include a custom thank you note with each invitation package. This will show your appreciation for your guests spending time to celebrate with you.

Sending out wedding invitations can be a daunting task, but following these simple tips will make the process a little bit easier. Take the time to make sure all the components of your invitation package are present and accounted for and you will be one step closer to having everyone you want to celebrate with you on your special day.
