Wedding Invitations Components |
Our exclusive layered wedding invitations are created using four components: a heavyweight background card, printable overlay, keepsake embellishment and envelope. Invitations are sold in kits or you can mix and match components to create your own combination. The premium, heavyweight background cards, are cut to fit perfectly in our envelopes. Choose from over 50 cards including rich solids, sparkling metallics, handmade petal papers, plus vintage and modern prints. The background card is layered with a printable overlay in opaque white or translucent vellum, sold uncut in standard 8.5x11 sheets for ease of printing, as small precut sheets would be very difficult to setup, feed and print correctly. Each 8.5x11 sheet will provide four 4.25x5.5 overlays using our free wedding invitation templates. We will calculate the amount of sheets you will receive, for example if you order 25 overlays, you will receive (7) 8.5x11 sheets, if you order 100 overlays, you will receive (25) 8.5x11 sheets.
A unique, keepsake embellishment is used to complete the invitation and provide a distinctive dimensional element that sets it apart from the typical flat announcement. Choose from grosgrain and satin belts with brass buckles, metal charms, decorative brads, patterned jacquard wraps and lace, miniature silk flowers, satin bows, fine paper sashes, skeleton leaves and peel and stick wax seals. Envelopes are 80#, thicker than the common 70# and are made from 100% post consumer fibers, making them earth-friendly. Options include micro hole punch, paper trimmer, wedding invitation clip art, an additional outer envelope, envelope liner, tissue overlay or foil envelope seals. Wedding Reception CardIf the reception is held at a different location from the ceremony, a separate card is ordinarily enclosed giving the location and time of the reception. We offer blank cover stock to make your own or we can provide custom cards with custom printed invitations orders. Response or Reply CardReply cards simply ask your guest to check whether or not they can attend and include a stamped and self-addressed envelope or postcard for them to return. Response cards might also include a selection of entrees for the reception, allowing guests to indicate their preferences. We offer pre-printed reply cards or blank cover stock to make your own, or we can provide custom cards with custom printed invitations orders. |

Wedding Invitation Wording |
Proper traditional etiquette dictates that the phrase "the honour of your presence" is to be reserved for weddings held in houses of worship, while "the pleasure of your company" is used for weddings in other locations.

Assembling and Addressing Wedding Invitations |
If two envelopes are being used, the smaller inner envelope is addressed with only the guest(s) name, such as “Mr. and Mrs. Grant Thompson” “Miss Johnson and Guest”. The outer envelope is addressed with the guest’s full name and address. Avoid using abbreviations for streets and cities. When assembling your invitations, the reply card with stamped envelope or reply postcard should be on top, then the reception card, then the invitation. If two envelopes are used, all of the enclosures are placed in the inner envelope face up. The inner envelope is placed (unsealed) in the outer envelope, with the flap facing back so that your guest sees his or her name upon opening. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Mailing your Wedding Invitations |
Before stamping, bring a sample of the completed invitations to the post office to determine the correct postage. Invitations should be mailed four weeks before your wedding or six weeks for out-of-town guests or if your wedding falls near a holiday. |
