Wedding Invitations & Paper

Enclosure card question

I've seen a lot of elaborate invites and I opted to go a simple route.  Now I am nervous that my guests won't have enough information. Please let me know what you think.

We got our invites through Wedding Paper Divas. We bought invites, matching RSVP cards and thank you cards and got the envelopes for everything. As of right now, all that would be going out to each guest is an invite and an RSVP card/return envelope. The invites are very simple. 1 sided (well the design carries onto the back) and flat.

The invites have the name of the venue, the address, the date and time. It just says "reception to follow" because our reception will be immediately after the ceremony, in the same location.

I guess when I ordered the invites an additional enclousure card seemed unneccesary because everything was in 1 place and there was no gap. We have a wedding website with other details and the web address for it was included on the STDs. Now I am 2nd guessing myself and am considering making up a business card on VP that just gives the website information one more time.  There are maps & stuff on the website but I'm pretty sure people can google the address on their own. The only thing I guess I'm concerned about people making sure they check out again is our hotel/shuttle accomodations and the fact that it's an outdoor ceremony.

Am I overthinking this? It wouldn't be a huge deal to order the cards but it wouldn't match the other stuff :( I don't know what to do.

Re: Enclosure card question

  • If you included RSVP cards, you've already exceeded what etiquette demands of you and been extra-polite to guests. It sounds like your invitations have all necessary information, and anything else guests can google or ask you about or save the save-the-date to find on the web site.

    My only concern is the outdoor ceremony. Usually I think that should be very clear on invitations, but with something like 2/3 of American weddings held outside, I'm tending to think spelling that out is over-kill.
  • I am in the exact same position as you - only I don't have time to order another set of cards from VP! Luckily my sister/MOH works for a printing company and can help out last minute. 

    We have decided to print a business card size enclosure that is going to read "For accommodations and additional information, please visit our wedding website at website.com"

    I want it for the same reasons as you - especially because I only sent out 84 STD cards with the website on them and we are inviting 160 people. I also want to make sure people know outdoor ceremony, nearby hotel info, map, etc.

    I was in the same boat as you. I wanted to keep things simple, thinking guests already had my wedding website information from the STDs. But then I had a few guests confess that they've already lost their STDs, so I just caved and decided to include an informational insert as well. Better safe than sorry.
