Invitations, Calligraphy & Favors
|
| Q. My fiancé has been deployed and we’re planning a small ceremony that will take place in two weeks. Do we need to send out formal invitations? |

| Q. I’m working with a very small budget, but I would really like to send out save-the-date cards. I’ve considered sending fun postcards as save-the-dates or printing up something on handmade cards from my home computer. Which idea would be more appropriate? |

| Q. I have a huge guest list – we’re inviting nearly 500 people! I’m feeling overwhelmed with the thought of hand addressing all those envelopes. I know that you’re supposed to address all the invitations personally, but in this case isn’t it alright to just use clear address labels that I’ve printed from my computer? |

Q. I’m at my wits end with our guest list. My fiancé and I are working with somewhat limited funds, and we’re determined to stay within the budget we’ve set so that we don’t end up with mountains of debt. So far, we’ve been able to keep everything and everyone from going overboard, except my future mother-in-law.
Even though the invitations have been ordered and our guest list has been finalized for months, she phoned last week with 20 additional names she insists must be invited. When my fiancé firmly told her that our guest list was already final, she hung up on him and hasn’t spoken to either of us since. Should we give in to her demands even though we’ve never met these extra people and it’s not in our budget?
Sincerely,

Q. I'm at a dilemma on how to word the response cards. I want to invite my single friends and would like them to bring a guest, if they like. I read that wording the invitation with "and Guest" is inappropriate. Therefore I was planning on addressing the invitation only to the friend who I'm inviting and in the response cards include a line for them to list how many people will attend.
Here's my dilemma. My fiancé and I do not want to include children in our wedding. We are afraid that if we send the same type of response card, then our married friends who have children will include their children in their number of attending. Please help.
Sincerely,
Anna |
