Etiquette Wedding Invitations: Guest List

First, you need to decide who should be invited to your wedding and who had to stay home. You simply can't invite everyone you know in most cases. That means hard choices have to be made. The fairest way is to create your own separate lists - one for the bride and one for the groom. If anyone else is helping to pay for the festivities, let them make a list too. Next, you need to look for overlap on those lists. These are the people who should definitely make the wedding invite list. Now you need to start making tough choices about the remaining people and their invitations wedding status. We offer lots of unique wedding invitations wordings ideas, verses and sayings to assist you.

Now even if you have to leave a few people off the list make sure that you add them to your wedding announcement list. Another factor you should always remember as well is that no one who is invited to the wedding should be kept out of the reception. You may want to invite people to the reception who are not invited to the ceremony, however. This might be a good idea for children or if you have a small ceremony location.

Mailing Your Wedding Invitation

Second, you need to know when to get those cards in the mailbox. Six weeks before the wedding date is the latest you want to drop them in the mail. Now if you're concerned that some or all of your guests are going to need additional notice - they may live out of town or you may be having a destination wedding - then use save the date cards. These can be sent out several months in advance and don't necessarily need to include all of the location details. They should include the date of the event, however. Be sure to also include a date by which guests should respond to the photo wedding invitations. If you don't hear from someone by that date, Wedding Invitations Etiquette does allow you to give them a friendly call to check their status.

Pesky Invitation Problem

What do you do if you decide you don't want your sister's kids at the wedding? Well, you have to make a tough decision. According to wedding invitations etiquette you shouldn't allow some kids to attend but not others. Instead, you should decide whether you want all kids or no kids. This may seem unfair but you don't want to hurt your guests' feelings. One way to send the no kids allowed message is with the simple phrase "Adults Only" on the wedding invitation.
