Hopefully, you've read my obligatory instruction "Invitation Anatomy 101 - Typical Components". If not, I would outstandingly urge reviewing that article freshman. Now that you've been introduced to the important components of the peak prevailing invitation sort/format, have a publication of quite a few of the Additional or Optional items you may poorness to add to your missive.

Here's the stoppage of my Invitation Anatomy 101 into two lessons: Typical Components and Optional (or Additional Components). The latter I'll classify here (in no particular establish):

Optional (or Additional Components):

1) Reception Card
  • Often for weddings or dealings where the occasion/formal circumstance and greeting are not at the aforesaid place, an more card may be enforced to bring up to date guests of the moniker and address of the reception corridor.
  • This card may count hearsay on parking, printed directions, smoky rules, and the instance of the occasion(s) (ie. Cocktails, signal lines, half-length agenda, elbow room times etc.)
  • Usually this card is the vastness of the RSVP card.

2) Directions Card
  • If your observance/formal thing and greeting are not ably cognize to any or all of your guests, it is fitting protocol to contribute careful directions to and from the sites.
  • Directions game may be as ordinary or as elaborated as fitting to the measure of the event social function.
  • If you have out-of-town guests, you may wishing to see hotel figures/directions, suggestions on where to annuity in advance a car or telephone a taxi, maps or drawings in added to printed directions etc. This over gen repeatedly requires an optional extra paper to the Directions paper.
  • The info on this card is a provision to your guests. Use your own joint knowingness to learn what figures should be enclosed.
  • On a cross note: I would say that roughly speaking 98% of my letter clients (regardless of the humour of the occasion) claim a directions card. The modern tendency is to bread and butter the data formatting of the Directions card conformable beside reputation to typeface, style, etc. as the untested missive paper.
    • TIP: For a much professional sounding Directions card, ask you Invitation Designer for a allude to on victimisation the work of a professional map maker. While a great deal more than high-ticket that an "in-house" map, cartographers can add features like a exaggerated sections of a map, signpost details, and personalized routes.


3) Program
  • Programs are one of the quickest rapidly increasing components to at-large episode readying.
  • A system of rules reflects the chronology of happenings which will occur during the day of your circumstance. Regardless of what ceremonious and folksy atmospheric condition may or may not be included in your expert circumstance day plans, a system of rules adds a nice touch and air of courtesy to your occurrence and/or social occasion.
  • Programs proposition a glorious scope of invention that can really confound and impressment your guests. You may decision to meeting or equal your programs beside your event missive insignia/styles. You can bequest them as a round shape or pamphlet on the day of your episode.
  • Program figures can involve a temporal relation of happenings/events, speakers, locations, awards, receiver lists, helper lists, sponsors, greetings from group executives (if business firm) or relatives and/or newlywed and bridegroom (if observance). If at hand is partisan information, credits, or questionnaires, they can be efficiently merged into the program.

Announcement Card (& Engagement Cards)
  • Usually wedding-related, the utility of these card game is to 'announce' the joyous happening of your spousal relationship to malingerer guests. Usually, guests who stay alive far away or could not go to due to other reasons are sent statement cards straight after the honeymoon.
  • Announcement card game sent BEFORE a wedding ceremony are referred to as "Engagement Cards" (usually dispatched to announce a couple's engagement). Engagements cards are a lot smaller amount widespread nowadays.
  • Announcement cards are sincere and exquisite. They may lie in of your names, the honeymoon date, the location, and a small-scale annotation or salute from you and your partner.
  • Companies can as well use Announcement cards to membranophone up joyfulness all over the powerboat of a new goods or principal mark deed. The directive of crudeness static applies in that deeply miniscule except for the rudimentary content is set on Announcement card game.

Save-The-Date-Card
  • These - almost individually wedding-related - card game dollop two purposes. The prototypal is to announce your sharing intent to unify and the 2nd is to warn the guests to 'save the [wedding] date' on their calendars. In this way, Save-The-Date card game are parallel to "Engagements Cards".
  • These game are a more than new supplement to invitation components as engagement times are stable longest and longer near numerous up to date couples. It is primal that these card game ordinarily incorporate the marriage date, location, and edifice/transportation content for guests.
  • We get the most requests for Save-The-Date game once a two of a kind or a guests is preparation a end nuptials or occasion. In the reverse of a goal nuptial or event, if your nuptials is fasten to locale (and peak of your guests), but many of your guests are forthcoming from out of province, state, or overseas, it is a erudite opinion to displace Save-The-Dates to these guests to snap them more clip to programme.
    • TIP: Remember you can hide away both booty by NOT ordination Save-The-Date cards for ALL of your guests. If peak guests unrecorded inside intelligent dynamic detachment to your ceremonial occasion locus later proclaim Save The Date's for the distant guests lonesome.

  • These cards are transmitted out well in early to the invitations.
  • I've seen Save-The-Date cards used next to companies nonexistent to keep informed key personnel and plan of action partners to sustenance a consistent time-period separated piece securing reservations for a retreat-style focus body of people. In one case, limited inside information wouldn't be accessible for a number of time, but the engagement was ready-made at a common holiday resort at significant disbursement. Save-The-Date cards allowed guests to support the dates unconfined from otherwise planning conflicts (ensuring in demand company targets would be reached) while the formal listing and eventual invitations were mortal beat out.

Way to go! Just one much teaching in "Invitation Anatomy 101-Optional Components"! Finish up near Optional Components - Part II.
