DON’Ts:

1. Don’t use complicated words on your thank you cards. You can write some simple words on the cards to impress your appreciation. The best wording for a thank you note is using your own words
2. Don’t use negative words on the gifts, even as a joke. Whether you love the gifts or not, you should say” thank you and love them”
3. Don’t ask your guests to address their own thank you note envelopes.
4. When thanking someone for money, don’t name the amount. Say “Thank you for the generous gift.”
5. Don’t write things that you don’t mean or can’t back up. If the gift is not on proud display inside your house then don’t write it. It is likely that if the giver comes to your house they will look for the gift that you wrote is hanging over your mantle or above your front door.

 Dos

1. Always keep the focus of the thank you note wording on the recipient. You may mention a few words about your honeymoon but the main part of the thank you note should be centered on the intended reader.
2. Send the thank you cards two weeks after getting the gifts. Thank you card is one of the important invitation cards that representing your gratitude for the guests presence and thanks them for making your wedding a success. You should not let your guests to wait for a long time.
3. It’s always good to write something specific about your gift. Handmade thank you cards are much more sincere in showing your gratitude.

To make them more charming and unique you can add your honeymoon photos in the card so guests can know the latest information about you. Photo thank you notes give you a chance to not just thank your recipients with your words but also with your smiling faces. If you aren’t sure what sort of photo to use, why not snap a few new ones with you holding signs that say “thank” and “you”.

The tips recommended above will more or less help you have great thank you cards and your guests will see your politeness and the time and effort you spent on them.

It is not necessary to invite your workmates and old friends who have lost touch with! Make it a family only party, or you can have two engagement parties, one with your family and one with your best friends.

What are important information for the invitation cards:
Bride’s and groom’s names(first name is needed)
Details of venue
Party date and time
Parents’ name( sometimes need)

Generally speaking, engagement invitations only include what you’d like your friends to know. You don’t need write the wedding date on the engagement invitations. Because you haven’t nailed down your wedding date, and the wedding details will be included in the save the date cards and wedding invitations.

The RSVP card usually is in the same theme/color as your wedding invitations and save the date. You can indicate the number of people who will attend your wedding by receiving the RSVP card from your guests.

And if you use RSVP card, it needs to be easy for your guests to understand and use. And you’d better include a self-addressed return envelope so your guest can easily send the response card back to you.

Such information should be simple and straightforward, aggregated appropriately. You don’t need to write too much information except important information. It dosen’t like wedding invitations or save the date, the funny and creative words are needless.

Here are some templates you can use on your response card
1.
Please respond by DATE, YEAR (important, your guests will know when to come and whether have time to the wedding)
M________________________
________we’d be delighted! (important, you should count the people who will attend the wedding)

Apart from the bigger parts like wedding dresses and wedding invitations, there are many other surprising details that may cause trouble to you. Wedding guest list is very hard to prepare and it takes you considerable time to take good consideration about everyone. Even arguments may arise between you and your soon-to-be spouse. Anyway, if you plan the guest list in a certain way, it will definitely save you much trouble and make the wedding planning much funnier.

One of the reasons we say that wedding guest list preparation is complicated is that the guests coming to your wedding is a combination of two different categories, be them friends or families. Hence, it is advisable to split the guest list, half for the groom’s side and the other for the bride’s side. It will largely release your pressure worrying about missing some of your significant guests.

Since wedding is an occasion symbolizing love and romance, it is understandable that many people want to witness the happiness even they are not your friends. Hence, you should make sure that whether your guests will bring friends with them. If they do, then it is necessary to send those guests invitations otherwise it will be awkward and embossing. Besides, if you are a person who is keen on making friends, it will be a big task for you to include everyone in the guest list.

Another group that you can never escape is the children. Actually, whether inviting a child depends on the family dynamic, your personal preference and of course the wedding styles. To be honest, with children attending your wedding, the atmosphere will definitely be much more casual and funnier and the memories and photos will be much eye-catching.

What’s more, it is a terrific opportunity to have a reunion with your families and friends. If you want to avoid troubles having children in the wedding, you should be ready to accept the fact that some of the guests may refuse attend your wedding simply because the lack of childcare if they leave home.

You should anyway order extra wedding invitations since you never know who will suddenly appear in the list. Everything is needed to be perfect to make the guests feel being respected. And with considerable efforts and time, you surely will have a great wedding.

Wedding invitations are invariably served as the first glimpse that your guests can have about the wedding. And they majorly say about the wedding and speak of the wedding. There are actually many tips you should be aware of when making the invitation cards.

1. Do make sure you have write all the information that you want your guests to know. This is the most basic of all most basics.

2. DON’T leave out important information, especially your RSVP date, RSVP contact information. So that you can get your wedding guests to RSVP on time.

3. Should be cautious not to make any mistakes in spelling. It will be embarrassing that misspell the bride or the groom name.

4.  DON’T cross it when you make a mistake. Throw away the card and write on a new card.

5. DO make sure the information offered in the wedding invitations is both clear and correct. Only by doing can the guests have exact knowledge about what to expect at the wedding.

6. DON’T forget to have a preview about the wedding invitation sample, so that you can have some alternation if there’s something that needs to be fixed.

7. DO remember to send the cards four to six weeks before the wedding. In this case, the guests can have ample time to rearrange their schedule so that they can attend your wedding successfully.

8. DON’T forget any guest when sending the invitations. you should have a clear knowledge about the number of the guests so that the task of sending out invitations can be much easier.

A bridal shower is a gift-giving party held for a bride-to-be in anticipation of her wedding. So that bridal shower invitations just need write bride’s name(You may also want to include the groom’s name in some way)

Like wedding invitations, bridal shower invitations also should include the event date, location, RSVP date, RSVP contact information.

Here are some useful templates:

You need to put the wedding date, the wedding location(usually the city) on the save the date card or magnet. Sending save the date card announces your wedding date and lets guests know that they will be invited to the celebration.
