Published: August 24, 2007

For many people, a wedding is one of the most important events of a lifetime. People devote so much time and money into the planning and preparation of the happiest day of their lives. When there are wedding bells in the air, one of the first and most important things that need to be taken care of is assembling wedding invitations. Assembling wedding invitations is done to ensure everyone the bride and groom want to attend the wedding will know where and when it is, as well as if they can attend or not.

Assembling wedding invitations is a process that involves a few different parts. A proper wedding invitation has more than just a single slip of paper with the names and date scribbled on it. Unless everyone who is attending the wedding is familiar with the location where it is taking place, a direction card is essential. The direction card explains how to get to the place where the reception and ceremony are being held. For $7.50, ten direction cards with the directions typed in a paragraph can be purchased from Paperstyle.com. For $5.00, two different styles of ten direction cards with a map of the area printed on them are available.

The next step in assembling wedding invitations is selecting and creating the reception card. The reception card informs the wedding guests when and where the reception will take place. Paperstyle.com has a selection of five different reception cards to choose from. There are four styles ideal for if the reception is to take place immediately following the wedding ceremony. The other type of reception card is for if the reception is to take place at a different location than the ceremony, as to not confuse guests as to where to go.

The next part of assembling wedding invitations is of utmost importance to the bride and groom, more so than the actual wedding guests. The response cards confirm the guests' attendance. Some wedding invitations just have a phone number included for guests to R.S.V.P., but including a response card along with the invitation shows the guests a lot of work went into the process of assembling wedding invitations; making them more willing to respond via the response card.

The finishing touch on assembling wedding invitations is the wedding invitation envelope. According to wedalert.com, there is a specific order followed when assembling wedding invitations into the wedding invitation envelopes. The order should be from top to bottom, printed side facing upward: the response card and the response envelope, the map, the reception card, and finally the tissue paper. When assembling wedding invitations, it is important to spread everything out and place the cards into the wedding invitation envelopes one set at a time to ensure each invitation has the same amount of inserts.

When assembling wedding invitations, there are some invites that receive a little bit of special treatment. Those special invites are those for bridesmaids and the wedding party. These invitations include some type of information that lets the guests know they have been asked to participate in the wedding party, be it as one of the bridesmaids or something else. When assembling wedding invitations the bride and groom should make sure they have enclosed all the information necessary for those who are part of the wedding party.

Assembling wedding invitations is nothing that should be rushed through. After all, sloppy invitations will give guests the impression the bride and groom did not put much effort into informing everyone about the wedding. Assembling wedding invitations should be done carefully and personally by the bride and or groom; especially because they are inviting these people to one of the most important days of their lives.
