Reception Cards: If there isn't enough room on your invitation for listing the details of your reception or if not all guests will be invited to attend the reception, reception cards can be ordered to match your invitations and then be included as a separate insert.

Response Cards: These cards are essential to planning for your dinner/reception since an accurate guest attendance count will be needed for food and seating preparations.

Lined Inner Envelopes: For a small charge, you can request your inner envelopes have a colored lining to add a special touch to your invitation ensemble.

Informal Notes: These are used separately from your invitations but should be included with your original order since they are usually printed on matching paper and this will save you on shipping costs.

Casual Wedding Invitations: Just as their name implies, these invitations are more informal. They are usually a single invitation card with the option of including
reception and response cards if needed. They are also available in a wide range of smaller quantities to accommodate any size wedding, but remember it's a
good idea to order a few extra.




Pocket Wedding Invitations: This invitation style has a pocket that neatly holds the invitation card. Some styles, like the one pictured here, include a pocket for holding insert pieces such as response or reception cards and then fold up into a self-mailing piece.






Photo Wedding Invitations: What a great way to share your engagement photo with your guests along with inviting them to your wedding. Adding your photo will
truly make your wedding invitation a keepsake for you and for your guests.







Layered Wedding Invitations: This invitation style usually involves the connecting of layers with ribbon which means some assembly is required. The layers can be different sizes and colors. Probably more common is the use of a translucent layer/overlay through which you can see the layer underneath. Many times the translucent layer has some design or wording printed on it for special effect.

it's a great idea to give your guests advance notice of your wedding date so they can be sure to attend by sending out Save the Date Invitations. If you are going to send them, consider mailing them shortly after setting your wedding date, especially if it's several months in the future or around a holiday.

Even if you don't send them too all your guests, you'll want to at least include close family members and friends. Guests who will have to travel to be in attendance will also find them very helpful giving them plenty of time for travel preparation, especially if you are having a destination wedding.
