Wedding Announcements and Wedding Invitations Instructions

For your wedding, it is important to know when to send wedding announcement cards and when to use wedding invitations. Both of these wedding items have a specific purpose and should be used accordingly. Here are a few simple tips on when to send a wedding invitation or a wedding announcement.

Wedding announcements are typically sent to guests that are not invited to the actual wedding ceremony and are mailed after the event. This serves as a reminder or an official announcement that you and your fiancé have tied the knot. For destination weddings with a limited seating capacity, wedding announcements are a perfect way to notify all your friends and family that your nuptials have taken place.

Sending wedding invitations to your guests is typically the way that brides announce and invite their friends and family to their wedding celebration. Wedding invitations should only be sent to individuals that you would actually like to come to your ceremony or celebration.

Send your wedding invitations at least 6-8 weeks before the actual event. This allows your guests enough time to save the date on their calendars, make any needed travel and accommodation arrangements, shop for clothes and gifts.

After receiving her daughter’s wedding invitations, Carol said :

“I want to thank you for all the help and work on Annie’s invites. The invitation was a standard for us to hold the rest of the wedding decor to. It also was one of the most beautiful pieces of stationery ever! Once again, thanks for capturing a vision and making it a reality.” ~ Fondly, Carol (mother of the bride)
