Sending Out Your Wedding Invitation
There is a proper way of how mailing wedding invitation cards. It seems quite easy to put the entire bundle of cards in a box and get them delivered via post. But actually, it’s not. A single mistake can make your guests unhappy and reach late for the occasion.
So, make sure you keep following things in mind while mailing your wedding invitation card:
- Try to mail the cards at least before 8 weeks of the wedding date.
- Triple check the address and other details on the card before mailing. All the details including the name of the guest have to be correct. Also, do not forget to mention the contact number of each guest on the envelope so that the postman can contact them in rare cases.
- Don’t make a mistake of ordering the exact number of cards as per the guests list. You never know when a new name hits your mind. So, always order at least 30-40 extra cards for such situations.
Hope this works for you. Good luck for your special Day!
