Wedding invitations - Do's and Don'ts

Do's
1. Order your RSVP's 6months and invitations at least 4 months before the wedding day.
2. Do keep the extra invitation envelopes in case of any addressing mistake.
3. Before sending any invitation, do weigh fully sealed invitation to know how much postage it needs. Always put the right stamp on the invitation card. Keep a separate budget for the invitation postage.
4. Do use all the names of the guest if possible. It is more welcoming to use correct names of the guests who will be coming with your invited guests.
5. In formal invitations always put the date in words eg. (June Nineteen Two Thousand Twelve )
6. Do mail all invitation 4-6 weeks before the wedding day. In case of peak season of weddings or festivals always send invitation 8 weeks in advance. International and long distance invitation should send in advance eight weeks.
7. Make sure to enclose hotel information, maps or itineraries for out  of town guests.

Don'ts 
1. Don't count invitation for per person. Most of the time family receives just a one invitation card.
2. Do not misspell the name of your guest on the invitation card.
3. Don't label the invitations. always write the names of guests by hand even for the large number of invitations.
4. Don't mention anything related to gifts and presents in the invitations.
