Wedding Etiquette For Invitations

April 5, 2008

The wedding invitation that your guests will receive is the first impression of what kind of wedding they are being invited to. There are certain rules of etiquette that have developed over the years when it comes to wedding invitations. Of course, these are not set in stone, but just some tips to keep in mind when you are preparing your wedding invitations.

Gift registry cards should only be placed in bridal shower invitations, and not your wedding ones.

Always write out addresses on your invitations by hand. Never use labels of any kind on envelopes.

Spell out everything such as Drive, Avenue, state, city, etc. Usually the only abbreviations that are acceptable on wedding invitations ar Dr., Mr., Mrs., and St.

Remember that the the kind of invitation you choose, the lettering styles, and layout of your wording will convey the feeling of what type of wedding you are planning to your guests.
