Wedding invitations might seem like simple little things, but how they are crafted can set the tone for the whole event. In fact, there are text books and manuals created for the sole purpose of teaching proper wedding invitation etiquette. You're not going to read a textbook's worth of wedding invitation etiquette here, but this brief primer should help to answer many of your questions.

  1. Wedding invitations should be sent out six to eight weeks prior to the big event.

  2. Envelopes should be addressed by hand only. Envelopes should not be computer generated nor should they have computer generated labels indicating the address. To do so is considered tacky. If you feel your penmanship isn't elegant or neat enough for addressing wedding invitations, it's perfectly acceptable to enlist help. In fact, listed among the duties of your bridesmaids is helping to address invitations and thank you cards! You could also hire a calligrapher.

  3. Your guest list should be determined by your budget. First on the list, of course, should be parents, siblings, grandparents and other close relatives. Family friends and close friends are added next and are determined by how close they are to the bride and groom. Finally, co-workers and business associates can be invited if there's room for more people. You're under no obligation to invite bosses and team members.

  4. The following basic components should be included in each wedding invitation:

    • An R.S.V.P. card with boxes to mark so the bride and groom will know you are coming. R.S.V.P stands for "Repondez S'il Vous Plait" ("please respond"). Guests should let their hosts know if they will be attending the event by the date marked on the R.S.V.P card.They can do so by checking off the box stating their intentions and mailing the card using the envelope provided.
