Your Wedding Stationery: A quick guide to what's needed
Your wedding stationery is usually the first impression you'll make to all of your guests and ultimately gives them a taste of what's to come. On the day itself, your stationery plays a very important part to co-ordinate with your chosen theme or colour but also informs everyone of what is going to happen, where they are to be seated to what they will even be eating.
With so many things to plan for and so many suppliers to talk to, www.your-rsvp.co.uk wants to make your wedding stationery choices as simple as possible. With this in mind, we've put together a quick checklist which details all of the items you need to consider in the run up to the wedding.
For Your Guests
Save the date cards – These can be sent out up to a year in advance and are perfect for weddings being held abroad or in peak wedding season (May-September)
Invitations for day and/or evening – Essential for every wedding and can be sent out 6-12 weeks in advance of the big day. Allow at least 4-5 weeks for RSVPs.
Guest information cards – For directions, gift lists, nearby accommodation, taxi's, special requests. It's here you can detail everything about your wedding day.
RSVP cards for day and/or evening – Sending RSVP cards generally mean you'll get an 80% better response than if you leave guests to reply themselves.
