Invitations

The invitation contains all of the necessary information about your wedding – who’s getting married, where and when – and sometimes other details as well. For advice on how to word your invitation, visit our Wedding Invitation Wording page.

Reply Card

The reply card will be sent back to you; it has a place for guests’ names and will indicate if they’ll be attending your event.

Tip: Be sure to add postage to your reply envelope as a courtesy to your guests!

Insert Cards

Insert cards are great to include additional details about the event. Information such as accommodation information, directions or map card, or reception details. The insert card is usually a little larger than the reply card.

Envelopes

Let us print your envelopes to save you time and stress!

Envelope Liners

Envelope liners are a great way to add color to your invitation. Liners come assembled into the envelopes, or unassembled, if you prefer to do this together!

Belly Bands | Vellum Wraps

Belly bands or vellum wraps are perfect for holding all the together and makes for a beautiful finishing touch to your wedding invitation suite.

Rehearsal Dinner

Invite your special guests to kick off your big day with a rehearsal dinner invitation. A rehearsal dinner invitation can be sent separately or included as an insert with the main invitation suite.

Programs

Wedding programs are a perfect way to help your guests follow along with your ceremony. Some couples even include a thank you message to express their gratitude. Programs are available as flat cards or folded booklets. Fan-shaped programs are also a great choice for warm outdoor weddings.

Menus

Dinner menus add an elegant touch to your table presentation. A stylish menu card is the perfect way to share your event’s meal selections, including appetizers and desserts, with your guests. To create a sophisticated tablescape, pair the menus with matching table numbers, place cards, and favor tags.

Escort and Place Cards

Escort cards direct guests to their assigned tables upon arrival at the reception, displaying each guest’s name and table number. These cards are usually arranged near the entrance. Place cards, on the other hand, are placed at each guest’s individual seat at their assigned table. Both types of cards are typically designed to match your reception theme.

Events Card

Planning a wedding weekend for your guests? Event cards are the perfect way to share the details about the planned activities, such as adventures, welcome parties, cocktails, after-parties, and farewell brunches. Slip them into welcome bags or display them prominently.

Tip: If you have these details in advance, you can include an events card with your invitation suite.
