  • Occasions offer these helpful & practical Tips…
  • You can create your own verse!
  • You can select print colors!...
  • Favors make a special thank you memento for your guests…
  • Save-A-Date cards are not only popular - they provide your guests plenty of planning time before you send formal invitations!... Save-A-Date cards can be sent up to a year before your event if you have an destination event? Otherwise, 6 months in advance will suffice!
  • Accommodation cards let your out-0f-town guests know where to reserve a place to relax and snooze after a fabulous time at your party….
  • Summers can be so warm! Cool off with our program fans - now "that's hot!".
  • Occasions can supply you with wedding favors, guest books, and other accessory items. We can help make your day extra special - just like you!
  • Thank you notes are a must!...
  • You have style - show it with a jazzy invite or a more traditional invitation!
  • Map Cards lead your guests to "the party"!
  • If your rehearsal dinner is going to be an "event" then send rehearsal dinner invitations, too!
  • Envelope seals are an important element to complete your invitation ensemble ….wide choice of colors and motifs
  • You should order your invitations at least 3 months in advance!
  • You can make your invitation a language art!
  • Leave the gift registration cards in the shower invites, do not include in your wedding invitations….
  • Like that oversized card? Realize that these require extra postage, so take a sample to your local post office and get an exact postage cost first before mailing out your invitations and announcements….
  • The names on the inner and outer envelope reflect who is invited to your event - omission designates who is not invited!
  • Having a formal affair, consider choosing monograms and crests!
  • Having an informal affair, choose embellishments and illustrations!
  • Send invitations to your "A" list at least 8 weeks in advance. If "A" lists attendees decline, then begin to send to your "B" list at least 6 weeks prior to your event!
  • Programs are as important as the invitation. Coordinate your program with your invitation!
  • Don't forget embossed napkins, guest books, matchbooks, coasters, etc.
