Do you require invitation inserts?

There are a large variety of invitation inserts that accompany wedding invitations. All cards, or inserts, must match your invitation in style, color and typography. You must be sure to include any of the following that your guests would need. Response Card Reception Card Maps Rain Card Admission Card Pew Card Address Card Web Address Inserts can be placed in an inner envelope or in the outer envelope. Response Card: The response card, simply put, is the card that invitees will return with their intentions. It will either say they are coming, or they are not able to make your wedding. You do not need to ask how many people are coming on this card, that should be made clear by whom the invitation was mailed to. It should have the date that the card should be returned by and also be accompanied by a stamped and addressed envelope for return. Reception Card: The reception card is used when the reception and ceremony are being held in different locations. The card is also used to invite specific guests to the reception after a large, or public, ceremony. The card should be mailed with the invitation with the location being in front of the wedding invitation. Maps: Maps and directions can be included with the invitation, or mailed separately. Keep the maps small, but legible by drivers. You do not want to add too much bulk to your invitation mailing. The destinations may already have maps for mailing, if they don't, you will have to design them, or hire someone to do so. Be clear and concise, provide a phone number for questions and clarification regarding the directions you sent. Rain Card: As upsetting as it would be if it happened, you must always plan a worst case scenario when having an outdoor wedding or reception. Providing a rain card with the invitation will alleviate the confusion if the weather does become problematic. Admission Card: Admission cards are almost like entrance tickets. If your wedding is at a popular cathedral or church, where sightseers frequent, your guests should have an admission card. Everyone entering the church will be asked for their admission card thus keeping sightseers from your wedding. Pew Card: A pew card simply tells a guest that they have reserved seating. Pew cards can be sent with invitations, but can also be sent after response cards have been returned as to be sure of who will be attending. Ushers will collect the pew cards while seating guests. Address Card: If you know the address of your new home, assuming at least one of you will be moving, you can send a note with the invitation letting your guests know. It's a simple card, but it will allow your friends and family to update their address books and save you from giving out the address to 200 different people at 200 different times. Web Address Card: If you have setup your own personal wedding website, you should a link to it with your invitation. The url can be printed right on your invitation at the bottom: "For more information please visit www.***.com". I can also be included with the invitation on a separate card. Wedding websites are great for sharing much information about your upcoming.
