Q. How do I invite only a few guests to the ceremony and everyone to the reception?
A. Send everyone an invitation printed with such wording as:
Mr. and Mrs. Brian Jacobson
request the pleasure of your company
at a reception in honour
of the marriage of their daughter Angela
to Mr. Shawn Hall
date, time, place...
For those few you'd like to invite to the ceremony, include an enclosure card printed with the ceremony information:
The honour of your presence
is requested at the ceremony
date, time, place...

You’ve spent so much time deciding on the perfect invitations, and you’ll want to make sure they reach your guests in pristine condition.
That’s why our invitations include two envelopes, an inner and an outer. According to tradition and etiquette, all the most important invitations and correspondence has been mailed in two envelopes. Why should YOUR wedding invitations be mailed in anything less elegant?
Here’s all you need to know about the two envelopes!
The Inner Envelopes
• They hold your invitations and enclosure cards.
• They’re addressed with the names of everyone included on the invitation. You may address the inner envelopes less formally than the outer envelopes, if you wish (example: “Grandma Ruth” or “Michael, Kelly, Katie and Patrick”).
• Go for a great touch of color and order inner envelopes lined with a color that matches the design of your invitation or ink color!
The Outer Envelopes
• They hold the inner envelopes with your invitation and enclosure cards inside.
• They’re addressed with the more formal title and mailing address of the guest (example: “Mrs. Ruth McLaughlin” or “Mr. and Mrs. Michael McLaughlin and Family”).
• Order your outer envelopes printed with your return address to save addressing time and to make the envelopes coordinated with your invitation. We can also print the front of your inner & outer envelopes for you!
Tip: Be sure to have a fully assembled invitation ensemble, with all enclosure cards and both envelopes included, weighed at your post office to determine correct postage.
Happy addressing!
Hi everyone!
Spring is in the air! It's a beautiful day here! The sun is shining, the birds are chirping & it's FRIDAY!!! What could be better?
Last night, I was outside watching the kids riding bikes, jumping on the trampolines in the neighborhood & playing on swing sets! We have so many activities planned for the summer. Swimming lessons, baseball, dance, choir, beach trips....the list goes on and on! I just received a Save-the-Date in the mail for a wedding coming up in July- and let me tell you - it came just in time! We were discussing taking a trip that particular weekend in July, but decided against it after the mail came with our friend's Save the Date magnet. She sent it out 4 months in advance of her wedding.
#1 RULE Ladies & Gents- Please send your Save-the-Date card or magnets out as soon as possible. 9 months + is preferred. If you have out of town guests needing to make travel arrangements, it's even more important to help them start planning early! Let's face it- you want your loved ones to make it to the event you have been dreaming about for years! You want to share this day with all the people who matter to you & giving them enough notice is the 1st step to ensure this happens!
Are you asking yourself the question "Do I need to send a Save-the-Date?" The answer is almost always "yes"! I say "almost", because there are scenarios I would say it's ok NOT to send one. An example would be if you get engaged & plan to get married in less than 3 months. If this happens, you should send your wedding invitations out as soon as possible.
For everyone else out there, you should be sending a Save-the-Date between 6-9 months+ from your wedding date. If anyone else is like me (and I'm sure there has to be a few!), he/she is enjoying the nice Spring weather & planning for the Summer months ahead. Help them plan & get excited for your special day. I'm sure they don't want to miss it!
Check out our selection of Affordable Save-the-Date Magnets & Cards on Rexcraft.
Your wedding is your day to celebrate, but it’s also so important to remember and thank the special people who have loved you, supported you, guided you and celebrated with you!
Create a very touching gift by giving your parents, bridal party and grandparents wedding photos in beautiful frames or photo albums to keep the memories of your day fresh.
And...Congratulations on your Engagement or any other Event you are celebrating! I'm Tara, Rexcraft's Brand Manager, and I'm so excited to start blogging about:
Rexcraft has been helping brides plan weddings for 100 years! We have always stayed current and committed to providing our wonderful brides (that's you!) with invitations and accessories for creating a classic, elegant wedding that matches your personal style beautifully.
