Invitation Etiquette

We are happy to pass on information about wedding invitation etiquette.

Invitations should be ordered three to four months before the wedding.  They are sent to all family members as well as friends of both families.  Order at lease 25 extras to cover those special people who somehow managed to escape your list.

When addressing invitations avoid all abbreviations except Mr., Mrs. and Ms.  When couples live together, list their names alphabetically on two lines.  Envelopes should be addressed by hand, in black ink.

If response cards are enclosed, the pre-addressed return envelope is stamped.

The phase "and Family" is never used on an invitation.  The outer envelope is addressed to the couple while the inner one is addressed to Mr. and Mrs. Smith, followed by the children's names (if they are invited)  listed beneath their parent's names in order of age.

Mail invitations three or four weeks before the wedding and announcements on the day of the wedding.

A new element has entered the picture.  Save-the-Date cards are being used by couples that may have a  substantial number of out of town guests.  They should be sent at least 6 - 8 weeks prior to the ceremony.

Give me a call or send an email, I will help you with other questions you may have.
