Invitation and Announcement Guidelines

• When deciding on the quantity of announcements to order, order at least 10% extra. Your guest list may have last minute additions or some envelopes might be damaged in addressing. Having to place another order with the printer is often too costly.



• Proofread your announcement wording more than once. Carefully check any numbers or addresses and spelling of names and places. Reading the text backwards (start at the bottom) can often help you see errors.



• Announcements should be mailed about four to six weeks before the wedding date.



• Square or other unusually shaped envelopes can sometimes cost extra postage. The post office likes rectangular envelopes. Ask about any extra postage before you order your announcements.



• Adding extra inserts (like a photograph) with your announcements can sometimes push the weight over one ounce (the maximum weight for a standard postage stamp). If you need to cut down weight, you might consider leaving out the inner envelope.



• Write your thank-you notes as you receive your gifts. They can stack up and become a burden if you get behind. Order your thank-you cards and envelopes early so you can stay on top of them. Use Calligraphy By Computer to address the thank-you envelopes ahead of time!
