Do You Need Wedding Invitation Inserts?

When you are planning a wedding, you certainly know how important your wedding invitations will be. They are your way of personally inviting family and friends to witness and celebrate one of the happiest days of your life.

Formal Wedding InvitationsDepending on your wedding scenario, there may be many more details to include for guests beyond the date and time of the ceremony and reception. That is where additional wedding invitation inserts may be required. Many times, these extra cards are available to match your invitation design.

The enclosures needed will vary by wedding depending on the circumstances but here are some of the available insert options:
  • Accommodation Cards – Out-of-town guests needing overnight arrangements will greatly appreciate receiving these cards since they list contact information for the hotel(s) where a block of rooms has been reserved.

  • Direction or Map Cards – Any time guests may not know how to reach your ceremony and reception location, it is a good idea to include these cards as an added convenience providing detailed directions.

  • Reception Cards – When your reception details do not comfortably fit on your wedding invitation, you can include this separate card with all the specific details.

  • Response Cards – Including these cards for guests to let you know if they will be attending will assist you in accurately making your seating and food arrangements. Unless they are postcards, a mailing envelope needs to be included with the postage already affixed as a courtesy to your guests for quick and easy return.

On the other hand, if any of these cards will provide your guests with additional information they will need for attending your special day, it is well worth the extra costs.
