Printable Wedding Invitation: From a Simple Invite to a Complete Ensemble
By Barbara Kelly

A wedding invitation is an opportunity for expressing the desire to request the company of a guest to attend a wedding and, is usually sent to them several weeks before the event is to take place. It provides the sender with many ways to address the invitee and, sometimes needs fancy writing, also known as calligraphy, to embellish the contents and, give a better feel to the invitation. In fact, the printable wedding invitation can be of various types including Engraving, Thermography, and Letterpress printing as well as Blind Embossing. It is up to the individual tastes as well as the need of the lettering that may often decide which type of printable wedding invitation to send.

Double Envelopes and Respond Cards

Printable wedding invitations are mostly sent in double envelopes with the inner envelope usually being of a matching color and, are not glued and can fit into the outer envelope, which is sealed and addressed. There are also many printable wedding invitation cards that are sent, accompanied by an ensemble consisting of a respond card and envelope. Traditionally, the respond card is used to gather a general figure indicating how many guests would be expected to attend the wedding.

If the respond card is sent, the wedding invitation would require it to be returned by mail by the recipient a few weeks prior to the wedding or, before a specified date. In most instances, this respond card is pre-addressed as well as pre-stamped by the wedding party to save the recipient the botheration of doing so. The printable wedding invitation can also include a reception card as well as maps or direction cards, as well as information on accommodation.

On the reception card, is listed the address as well as time of any post-wedding events such as cocktail hour, dinner or dance. Maps will show details about how to reach the wedding and reception locations while, accommodation information may suggest airfares, transportations as well as hotel arrangements.

Today, with the ready availability of high quality printers, one need not spend extra money on getting wedding invitations printed or even writing them by hand; all that is needed is some software such as My Wedding Organizer and, one can output high quality as well as attractive printable wedding invitations on one's own. The software is able to store all the details pertaining to the guests and, is also able to keep track of which guest is to be invited to which event. One need only find an invitation and, start printing them out.
