Ivitation Inserts

vmorgs

I know it's usually customary to include a seperate reception & a seperate directions card with the invites but, I'm looking to save money on my expensive invites. If I do a directions card, is it appropiate to just list directions to the church? All I want to do is list directions to the church and then once people are at the church, there will be directions available to the reception if guests need them. The dilema I am having is this though...how do I make note on the invites that there's a block of rooms available at a certain local hotel? Any help would be appreciated!!

Also, how does one tactfully ask on the response card for their choice of chicken or beef?

You really can't note ON the invitations about the hotel rooms.  If you want to share that with your guests, you really need to create an insert.  Same with directions, you can't put that on the invitation itself.  If it's just not possible for you to do one insert that has directions and accommodations on it, then what you could do is personally contact each guest that you know might use the hotel, either by e-mail or phone, and give them the information that way.

Do people really need directions?  It's not required to provide that, just fyi.  Your guests can figure it out or look it up on their own, most will anyway.

RSVP idea:

_____________
__ accepts
__ declines
Please initial next to your entree choice:
___ chicken
___ beef

Print the inserts yourself. We had ordered the invite, response card, and reception card. We printed accommodations and directions cards on our own and included them.

Templates in my bio for our RSVP cards.  They ask for specific entree choices for each guest.

Our invite has the address for the ceremony & reception (all one location).  A separate insert has a map and directions.  A second insert has info about accomodations, the airports in the area, our wedding website, and phone & email for FI and myself.  Last insert is the RSVP card.
