Formal Wedding Invitation Etiquette:
Regardless of your wedding theme and level of formality, it is important for wedding invitations to follow certain etiquette guidelines.
- Invitations should be sent out approximately six weeks before the day of the wedding. If you have a large number of out of town guests, you might want to send invitations eight weeks before the day of the wedding. Request that guests send the RSVP card back to you by a day three weeks before the wedding - this gives you time to get a head start on planning and allows some cushion for the late-comers.
- Wedding Invitations vs. Wedding Announcements - Wedding Invitations are sent to people who the bride, groom and their respective families wish to attend the ceremony and reception. Wedding announcements are sent to friends and family to let them know the ceremony took place - it's a nice gesture, sometimes accompanied by a smaller and more intimate party.
- If your wedding and reception are held at the same location, there is no need to print the address twice. Simply include the line, "Reception to Follow" to the bottom of the ceremony invitation.
- Consistency! Address your wedding announcements consistently. For instance, if you have friends that cohabitate in a roommate situation and you choose to send each person his or her own invitation, apply that same rule to each group of guests in that same situation.
- If you want to indicate to a guest that he or she may bring a date, address the outside envelope to the guest only, and add "and Guest" to the inner envelope.
