Category Archives: Save the Dates

Even before they see the dress, or the décor, or the flowers, guests will have an idea of what your wedding is all about. How? Because you'll have sent them an invitation and coordinating enclosure cards that capture your wedding style perfectly!

So think about the style you want for your invitation, then check the following items off your list to make sure you have a complete, coordinated invitation ensemble that's totally YOU!

 Save the Dates: First things first — once you've set your wedding date, ask guests to save it by sending a fun and eye-catching save the date!  Choose a design that matches your wedding style, or go fun and fanciful with save the date magnets  or clever designs sure to get guests to mark their calendars right away. Choose a style that is a good representation of the event to come. Also, any of our invitations may be printed with save-the-date wording.

 Wedding Invitations: They’re what introduce your wedding style to your guests, and they’re the first communication guests will receive about your wedding. So make sure your invitations capture your wedding style and hint at the formality of the event. The wording you choose for your invitations informs guests of the date, time and location of the ceremony, and most importantly reflects who you are as a couple.

Invitation Envelopes: Envelopes are more than just a way to mail your invitations  — they can be customized to become part of the style of your ensemble. Colorful inner and outer envelopes that match your invitation paper are included with most invitations.

Printed Envelopes: Introduce your wedding colors in a unique and fun way by selecting "ooh la color" outer envelopes with colorful linings that peek from the edge. The envelopes are printed with your return address.

Printed Outer Envelopes: Create a cohesive look for your ensemble and save the time and hassle of writing your return address on each envelope by ordering your return address printed on the outer envelope flaps.

 Reception Cards: You’ve worked so hard to create a reception look that will reflect your personalities and will make guests feel welcome. Show your excitement about the celebration that will continue after the ceremony by inviting guests to join you. Reception cards are just the thing to accomplish this. The cards list the times and locations of the reception, dinner, dance and other events.

Respond Cards: These practical little cards become fun when you start receiving them in the mail from guests, tallying their responses and reading their little notes about how much they’re looking forward to celebrating with you. You may also include menu choices on the respond card to provide accurate information to your caterer. Jean M offers you the unique option of ordering colorful envelopes for your respond cards. The price of respond cards includes printing the envelopes with your return address. Be sure to place a coordinating stamp on each envelope for guests’ convenience.

 Note Folders:  Attention to detail is everything in making your wedding a success. When you choose folded note cards that coordinate with your stationery ensemble and use them for pre-wedding correspondence and thank you notes, you’ll be carrying through the tone of your wedding style. Notes may be ordered with your maiden name monogram (for pre-wedding notes and bridal shower thank you notes), with your married name monogram or with your names. Note folders are available with your choice of our unique colorful envelopes.

Direction and Accommodation Cards: 

You’d hate to have chosen the perfect ceremony and reception sites and have your guests not be able to find them, or not be able to book a hotel room for the weekend of your wedding. So make it easy for out-of-town guests to book hotel rooms and find your ceremony and reception sites by enclosing printed direction cards and accommodation cards with your invitations. Direction cards are printed with the directions you provide. For accommodation cards, include the name, address and telephone number or website of the hotel at which you’ve reserved rooms for guests, and the date by which they need to reserve rooms.

Here are some great ideas for putting together your invitation ensemble style!
