Wedding invitation etiquette

There is a proper way of doing things, and wedding invitation etiquette means a lot. Send wedding invitations three to four months before the wedding day to give your guests plenty of notice to make their plans. If you are not sending RSVP cards, you will have enough time to follow up with people who have not responded. 

The due date for your RSVP should be one month before the wedding. One month will give you enough to confirm the headcount so that you can coordinate with the caterers and the venue. Within this time frame, you can still call those people who have not responded.

How can you make it clear if you do not want children at your wedding? You can either write the individual’s name or the couple’s name. By doing so, you show them that you are only inviting them. You can also mention the number of seats you reserved for them on your RSVP card. Or add a short note on your details card stating that you want your wedding to be an adults-only event. 

You have several options regarding your wedding invitation stationery. You choose what you want. Making it as luxurious as possible depends on the things you want to include and the materials you choose for the invitation.
