Final Thought
Whether you’re buying or making your wedding invitations, you’ll need to let you guests know about various things about the wedding. So don’t forget to include the following with your invites:- RSVP card or details on how and when to respond
- Information about your gift list
- Details of the marriage celebration venue and a map on how to get there
- Details of the reception venue (if different) and directions
- Parking information
- Local information on hotels and/or B&Bs including location, contact number and price
- Any other specific information you might want to tell your guests, such as local taxi numbers or dress code
As Tesco say, every little helps! The more information you can give your guests, the easier it will be for them.
Don't forget, you'll need to send your invites at least 6 weeks before the big day to give your guests time to plan and book accommodate!
See you next time!
