Wedding Invitation Etiquette:
You need to most definitely include a reception card with a wedding invitation when the wedding ceremony and the reception are going to be held at separate locations. Be sure that the wedding reception card that you include with the invitation includes accurate information about the wedding reception.
Wedding invitations should be written or worded properly. The names and addresses should be in its correct spelling and it should be written formally. For close friends, you may write their names casually. But for those important and special guests that you are planning to invite, make sure that their names are written formally and completely so they would see that they are important to you and that you really want them to share with you this joyous moment.
If you are planning a cheap wedding, you should most definitely keep in mind what it is going to cost to mail out your wedding invitations. Be sure to mail out your invitations at least eight weeks prior to and no later than six weeks prior to your blessed event. If you are planning to hold your wedding during the holidays or you have plans to invite a great number of out of town guests you should mail out your invitations even farther in advance. This will give your guests the best opportunity to be able to attend.
It is also important to include in the wedding invitations the desired attire that you want your guests to wear when they attend your wedding day. This will help them decide which attire to wear and they will not feel awkward when they attend your big day.
Things you should steer clear of when sending out wedding invitations:
If your guests would come with their children, the invitations should include the names of them or the whole family, not just simply address it to the parents. Children who are above eighteen years of age should also have their own invitation separate from the invitation for the family.
Nicknames should not be written on the envelope of the wedding invitations. The proper way of putting the name is just the first and last name. Avoid putting the middle names or the middle initials because some would prefer not to see their middle names on any invitation.
Titles and names of the guests should not be abbreviated except for Mr., Mrs. and Dr. It would be informal to do abbreviations for their names and titles.
The date, time, and address of the wedding ceremony and reception should also be written in complete details and not in abbreviations so the guests would not be confused of what you are trying to instruct them.
Avoid changing the word And with an & if you need to put it in your invitation.
