Apart from the invite itself what else goes in the envelope?

Congratulations on your engagement!

Great question, there's a few different bits of information you need to include in your invitation suite:
1. The main invite
2. RSVP postcard

or

3. Info card with RSVP (phone, email, website) as well as the wishing well

If you have a destination wedding or want to mention accommodation, transport, parking, map etc, then we recommend another smaller info card to cover all the bases.

You can opt for a double sided invitation if you prefer to keep the set minimal. As for whether RSVP postcards are still used, they definitely are! It truly depends on your guests, but we always recommend pre-stamping to encourage them to send it back. Alternatively, you can give them the option to take a photo and send it back to you via text.

Feel free to email our team at design@felicitations.com.au and we can send through a wording booklet with everything you need to include on your invites. This will help you narrow down how many pieces you need :)

Hope this helps! Best of luck with your wedding planning ??

Hi there!

It's always great to be thorough with your invitations.

Along with the invite, you can include RSVP cards, accommodation and direction cards, and any other important information like dress code or gift registry details.

RSVP cards are still commonly used, but I would take a look at your guests first. If you feel they wouldn’t send a RSVP card back, then set up a specific email address to handle RSVP’s or use one point of contact only as a phone or text. If you are supplying a post back RSVP, make sure it has a postage stamp on it and your return address to post to.

Want to go more tech with your wedding? Then you can also use a website to hold all this extra info and included a website address or a QR code on your invite that directs them to RSVP online and find the other information about your wedding.

If you like this idea of a QR code or website, I would pop this on a separate card, it can look a bit ugly on the front of your beautiful wedding invite.  

Hope this helps you with your wedding planning!

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! 

Typically these things could be included alongside your invitation!

- Information card; this could feature specific information about the venue, dress code, or registry/wishing well information

- RSVP card; this can be made into a postcard so guests just drop this card back into the postbox and you don't need to include another envelope

However, a nice way to really have all the focus on your invitation is to have all of the extra information as well as an RSVP form built into a website! You can include a written link or QR code neatly on the wedding invitation, this can save a lot of money on printing additional cards and postage. 

Firstly, Congratulations on your Wedding!

Traditionally, invitation envelopes would contain the main invitation card and an RSVP card with a pre-stamped envelope for guests to send back their response. However, in today's digital age, many couples are opting for online RSVPs using QR codes or website links, which can be more convenient for both the hosts and guests.

In addition to the main invitation and RSVP, you may also want to consider including a separate card called "Finer Details" or "Details Card" that can provide additional information such as the location, dress code, parking information, and any other important details that your guests need to know.

Other items that you might want to include in your invitation envelope could be an accommodation card for out-of-town guests or a map or directions card.

As for whether guests still send back RSVP cards, it really depends on the individual couple and their preferences. Some couples still prefer the traditional RSVP card method, while others opt for online RSVPs. However, it's always a good idea to provide your guests with clear instructions on how to RSVP, whether it's through a physical card or online method.

Remember, creating your wedding invitations should be a fun and enjoyable experience, not a source of stress. Take your time and enjoy the process of designing and customising your invitations to reflect your personal style and vision, so that you can focus on what really matters – celebrating your love and commitment with your family and friends.
