Summer is one of the most popular times for getting married and if you’ve got a summer wedding planned for 2013 then now is the time to start thinking about what you want and putting things into place once you have your venues booked.
Â
Are you going to send out save the date cards to friends and family if you don’t have both venues booked? When you send out save the date cards you can then ensure that your friends and family know to expect a wedding invitation from you soon. A save the date card will make sure that they don’t plan their summer holidays and miss out on your wedding day.
Â
You will need to wait until the New Year to send out your wedding invitations as you don’t want people to lose them before the big day and if you send them out a year in advance then the chances are invitations will be lost and people won’t know where the venue is or even the right time. Save the date cards will quite simply inform people the date that you are planning on getting married and so invitations are still required to inform people of the venues and of course the time of the wedding.
Â
If you plan on making your own save the date cards and wedding invitations then it’s a great idea to use envelopes from the same company as not only will you save on postage costs but companies such as Envelopes Hong Kong offer discount on bulk orders and buying as few as 50 envelopes will have you seeing a discount on price.
Â
When you are choosing envelopes for your wedding invitations it is essential to choose ones which match the style of your wedding and most importantly your colour scheme. A wedding invitation is the first real glimpse that people are going to get into your big day and this means that you need to reflect your wedding with your invitation, most people do this by incorporating their colour scheme. If your colour scheme was pink you may use pink ribbon on your invitation, pink diamantes along with a pink envelope. If you don’t want to give the game away and let people into knowing your colour scheme then silver envelopes will be your best choice as they will still keep your invitations looking classy and sophisticated.
Â
One thing you will want to receive back from all of your guests for the ceremony is R.S.V.P cards, many people will quite simply forget to R.S.V.P even though they plan on attending or they may just drop you a text or mention it in conversation meaning that you could have forgotten whether they had said they were coming or not. One way to avoid this problem is to include small R.S.V.P cards within your invitations, they don’t need to be any bigger than a business card as all that you need to know are the guests names and whether they are able to attend or not. To ensure that you get all of your R.S.V.P cards back include S.A.E miniature envelopes which are the perfect size for business cards, this means that your guests won’t incur any costs when they wish to R.S.V.P to your wedding invitations and it also means that they are much more likely to send your written confirmation as they will have everything they need.
Â
By planning ahead this summer you can make sure that you relieve some of the stress from next summer as you will have been organised and will have everything you need to make those final arrangements.
