I will try to address in this post, some of the common questions we receive about addressing wedding invitations. Q: I am inviting a man and woman who are living together and not married. Whose name should go first on the envelope? A: The woman’s name should go first.
Q: I am inviting two sisters who […]

We have received so many questions about the proper way to
address the envelopes for wedding invitations that I decided to devote another
post to that. In addressing the outer envelopes, use titles for names such as
Mr. and Mrs. or Dr. Do not use designations such as Ph.D. or M.D.
You do need to spell out Street […]

Some brides seem to have number of questions regarding the
wedding invitation inner envelopes. I will attempt to answer them here and to
give you an historical background as to their origination. The inner envelope
is a bit smaller than the outer and does not have any adhesive so it cannot be
sealed. This is the envelope that is […]

First of all, unless you count each of the invitation items
you have ordered, you can’t be sure that you have received equal amount of
each. Usually there is a little overage printed in case there are some smears,
smudges or if something doesn’t print correctly. If some abnormalities are
noticed, they are discarded, but if not then you […]

One of the many questions we receive is, "How to I
put all these enclosures together in the envelopes to mail?" Yes, there is
an order of assembly that is proper. First you put the wedding invitation on the table
face up with the tissue on top. And yes, the tissues are to be included if you
want to stick […]

The bride and groom’s names are the focal point of
your wedding invitation so in selecting a font, the first thing you
want to do is to look for a font that you like, then check the capital letters of
the first letter of the bride and groom’s first and last names to be sure that
you like how they look in that […]

Where should you buy your wedding invitations? From us of
course! Seriously, the most important thing is to buy from someone who has a
wealth of knowledge, experience and expertise in helping brides plan their
wedding. Some clerks, even in fancy paper stores, are just hourly employees,
many of whom are single and really don’t know much more about […]

A common question we get asked is when should I buy my
wedding invitations and when should I mail them? Well the first answer is the
easiest, although the answer varies, depending you who you ask.
Some will tell you four to six weeks and other will tell you six to eight
weeks. So..if you get your invitations out […]

There is so much on the etiquette of wedding invitation
wording and even just on how to have the names of the bride and groom and
parents done properly on the invitation, not to mention addressing the
envelopes with all the different possibilities of titles and combination of
names.
We could spend a couple of weeks just on this, […]

When you sit down to buy your wedding invitations, there are
a number of details that have to be decided before you can write them up. You
will need to know the name and address of the ceremony site, the reception site
and any artwork you would need for a map should you decide to outsource that as
will […]
