Things to Remember when Sending a Wedding Invitation Card

Things to Remember when Sending a Wedding Invitation Card What is the most important thing after a person finds that compatible life partner, the wedding date is fixed and preparations have begun in a grand way? The answer would be the people who would be there to witness the marriage. And irrespective of how small or big the function a person is planning, a marriage is incomplete without a wedding card, right? With the help of a wedding invitation card, you share the happy news about your marriage with the people whom you want to attend your special day.

Since a wedding invitation card is an integral part of your marriage preparation, you should leave no stone unturned while preparing it. As soon as you finalize your wedding date and venue, the next thing that comes is your wedding invitation card. Even though now people are choosing digital wedding invitation cards, the charm of sending physical invitation cards will never go away. It is something that will always stay a tradition. In some families, people even present the first wedding card to the god. So, you can understand how important it is to make a nice wedding invitation card.

If you have fixed your marriage venue & date and now are looking to make a wedding invitation card, here are a few things you should remember while sending it.

Have an ESTIMATE about the Guests The first and most important thing that you need to remember regarding a wedding invitation card is the number of guests. And we guess it’s a no-brainer. It would be ideal for you to have an accurate estimate of the people coming to attend your wedding. Never make the final order without having a particular number of guests. And remember that the number of guests will not be equal to the number of cards. For example, you will send one card to a family of four guests.

So, make your calculations accordingly. Once you reach a final number, make sure you order some extra copies for the situations where you send an invitation to someone at the last minute.

An extra is always better than a less.

Choose the right TIME to send your card Timing is everything. You have to choose a time which is neither too early nor too late. Like you wouldn’t be sending your wedding invitation card to people 12 months before your marriage.

Also, it’s rude to send an invitation just 3-4 weeks before your marriage date. Nowadays, everyone is so occupied in their own lives that they need some extra time to get time for their marriage. So, start your card preparations as soon as you are done with the venue and date.

Sending your invitation at least 1-2 months beforehand is a good idea if you want everyone to schedule accordingly.

Don’t go BROKE while making your card It is never a good idea to spend a major portion of your overall budget on the wedding invitation card. When you are looking for options, make sure you have a definite idea about how much money you can spend on your wedding invitation card. And it’s okay to go a little above your budget. But once again we are saying that don’t go broke. Your invitation card is important but not so much that you spend all your money on it. Also, more than the card, your wedding matters.

Always Proof-read. ALWAYS!!!!!

One of the most important things you should never ignore before sending a wedding invitation card is to proofread it. All your effort and time will be wasted if there are basic spelling mistakes on your card. That’s why you should always recheck your whole card so that you don’t leave any spelling mistakes on it. Remember the famous saying that it’s hard to see your own mistakes.

Well, it applies perfectly here. So, once you are done rechecking your wedding invitation card, make sure to cross-check it with someone else. Double-check your names, venue name, marriage date and names of the invitees.

So, these are some of the critical things that you should remember when sending a wedding invitation card to lovely people. We hope these tips will help you. All the best for your marriage!!
