\"Wedding<\/p>\n

A <\/span>wedding invitation set<\/span> \u2014 also known as a <\/span>wedding invitation suite<\/span> \u2014 consists of all the paper goods sent for weddings. It covers everything from the <\/span>wedding invite<\/span> itself to the envelopes and <\/span>thank you cards<\/a><\/strong>. Here\u2019s a quick breakdown of all the items that make up a <\/span>wedding invitation set<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Save the <\/b>Date Card<\/b><\/h3>\n

A <\/span>save the date card<\/a><\/strong> is the first card that\u2019s sent out to notify guests of the date and general location of the wedding. This card is designed to give guests ample notice so they can mark their calendars. It typically contains the <\/span>wedding website<\/span> and the actual <\/span>wedding date<\/span>, though it may not provide the exact location.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If a specific <\/span>wedding venue<\/a><\/strong> isn\u2019t listed, the card will typically include a region \u2014 like Napa Valley \u2014 so that guests can plan accordingly. Although a save the <\/span>date card<\/span> is vital for all weddings, it\u2019s particularly important if you\u2019re having a <\/span>destination wedding<\/a><\/strong> so that guests can make travel plans.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wedding Invitation<\/b><\/h3>\n

The <\/span>wedding invite<\/span> has all the concrete details of the <\/span>big day<\/span>, from the exact time and location of the event to the <\/span>dress code<\/a><\/strong> and <\/span>wedding gift<\/a><\/strong> information. <\/span>Wedding invitations<\/span> can run the gamut from simple <\/span>DIY<\/span> white announcement cards, <\/span>letterpress invites<\/a><\/strong>, and laser-cut <\/span>wedding invitations<\/span> to paper invitations and elaborate wedding boxes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Wedding invitations<\/span> can be made of <\/span>cardstock<\/span> or sent as <\/span>online invitations<\/a><\/strong>. You\u2019ll also find <\/span>all-in-one<\/span> invite packages that include all of the <\/span>wedding stationery<\/span> in one envelope or box. Here\u2019s a quick rundown of<\/span> what to include in a wedding invite<\/a><\/strong> to make sure you don\u2019t leave out anything important.<\/span><\/p>\n

RSVP Card<\/b><\/h3>\n

Also known as a <\/span>response card<\/span>, <\/span>RSVP cards<\/a><\/strong> are used to keep track of who is attending the wedding and who has declined. The <\/span>RSVP card<\/span> can include several reservations to various events \u2014 such as a welcome barbecue, <\/span>rehearsal dinner<\/a><\/strong>, or <\/span>post-wedding brunch<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These cards make it easy to keep track of your wedding guest list. Plus, they enable you to send out additional invites if people from the first batch of invitations cannot make it to the <\/span>wedding day<\/span> festivities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Digital or Mailing Envelope<\/b><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re sending invites by mail, you\u2019ll also need to include postage and paper envelopes as part of your <\/span>wedding invitation set<\/span>. Don\u2019t forget to <\/span>address the wedding invites<\/a><\/strong> correctly.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the wedding, it\u2019s proper etiquette to send a <\/span>thank you card<\/a><\/strong> to all the guests who attended and include a small note mentioning their gift, if applicable. These cards are designed to match your <\/span>wedding stationery<\/span>, creating a cohesive look from start to finish.<\/span><\/p>\n
