zintel WHAT YOU NEED, WHEN YOU NEED IT, WHY IT'S PROPER May 28, 2010 4:30 PM WHAT YOU NEED WHEN YOU NEED IT WHY IT'S PROPER Engagement Announcements Because of school, military service or other plans, your wedding date may be far in the future. If you want people to know you are engaged, plan an Announcement using the Wedding Invitation format. Either formal or informal copy is proper to let people know your exciting news. Save-the-Date Cards Mail them three to four months in advance of the wedding. It is a good idea to give family and friends as much notice as possible of the coming event. This is especially true if you have many out of town guests. Wedding Invitations with Envelopes Used for anyone you want to attend the ceremony (even if they are ill or too far away to actually come.) Always lists who is getting married, on what day, of what year (spelled out in full), at what time, and the location. Check out Zintels Invitations offering 10% off online orders! An occasion this important rates more than a casual invitation. Elegance is enhanced by coordinating with lined inner envelopes. Reception Cards Traditionally a Reception Card is only used when a select number of the guests invited to the ceremony are invited to the reception. Nowadays, a Reception Card is included with the invitation, even when everyone invited to the ceremony is invited to the reception. This invitation says, "You are special." Mailed along with the invitation, this card announces the time and location of reception. Response Cards with Printed Return Envelopes A must in today's busy times, or you simply won't know who is planning on attending. Plus, you will end up chasing down guests who do not send a handwritten reply. The Response Card has become an accepted part of wedding etiquette. Including one with invitation is a thoughtful way to ease the guest's responsibility to reply to formal invitations. As a courtesy to guests, enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope with Response Card. Wedding Announcements If your circle of friends and relatives is larger than the list you intend to invite to the ceremony, or if you have a private wedding, you will want to send an announcement of your wedding. Wedding Announcements include the wedding date, but never the time or location of ceremony. Mail the day of the wedding. At Home Cards If you are moving to a new home and want to inform family and friends of your new information. Informs family and friends of your new address and lets them know whether you are keeping your maiden name. Usually mailed with the announcement or mailed separately after the wedding. Thank-You Notes A perfectly proper time-saver for those very busy days leading up to the wedding and immediately following the wedding. It's a thoughtful way to let gift givers know their gift was received. Always write a personal thank-you note later. Send within two months of wedding. Informals With or without the name of the groom, this personalized stationery is needed to hand write thank-you notes to those who gave a wedding gift. People who took the time to pick out a wedding gift deserve a personalized thank-you note. Also excellent for many other occasions where only brief correspondence is needed. Wedding Programs A great way for guests to follow the ceremony and learn who is in your wedding party. Enables you to share a special message or poem with your guests. Provides guests with a nice memento of your special day. Place Cards and Table Cards Makes sit-down meals less chaotic if people have assigned seats, or at least assigned tables. Place Cards list the guest's name and table and are often displayed in envelopes on a table outside the tent or reception room. Table Cards list a table number inside the folder and the guest's name appears on the outside of the folder. Ceremony Cards Used when everyone is invited to the wedding reception but only a limited number are invited to the ceremony. This invitation says, "You are special." Mailed along with the invitation, this card announces the time and location of ceremony.
zintel Wedding Timeline - Organization is key May 28, 2010 4:21 PM Having a timeline shouldnt cause wedding stress, rather wedding organization. This is the most important and special day of your life and with careful planning and organization you can increase your enjoyment of not only your "big day" but all the days leading up to it. Six To Twelve Months Before Your Wedding Announce engagement. Use formal printed announcements and/or the newspaper. Select a wedding date and time. Choose size and style of wedding-formal, informal, special theme. Set a preliminary budget. Schedule a meeting with both sets of parents to openly discuss wedding expectations, costs, and responsibilities. Hire wedding consultant if you plan to use one. Buy a wedding planner or a notebook to remain organized and record decisions. Invite attendants to be in your wedding. Reserve the ceremony location. Choose the officiant for the ceremony. Reserve the reception site. Find out what services are included or available. Interview caterers, florists, photographers, videographers, musicians, etc. Be sure to taste food options, see the work of florists, photographers and videographers. Listen to or watch tapes of musicians. Ask for references and discuss deposit requirements and the cancellation policy. Hire as soon as possible. Create a preliminary guest list, including addresses. Ask all parents to do the same. Include the relationship (friend, uncle), this helps if the list needs to be shortened. Begin planning the wedding ceremony and reception. Write out directions and or a map to be included on a separate card with invitation. Shop for a wedding gown and accessories. Order your dress at least 6-8 months in advance. Choose and order attire and accessories for bridesmaids. Keep in mind the time of year and style of wedding. Start planning the honeymoon. If you are leaving the country, make sure your passport is up to date and verify any visa requirements. Register for wedding gifts. Develop a system for recording gifts as they arrive and for recording when you wrote the thank-you note. Three To Six Months Before Your Wedding Finalize guest list. Use a software program or a list to track responses. Order wedding and reception invitations, response cards, place cards, announcements, thank you notes, informals, at home cards, Save-the-Date cards and accessories. Always order extra invitations and envelopes to allow for addressing mistakes and surprise guests. It is less expensive to order extras from the start. Send out Save-the-Date Cards so your guests can reserve your special day on their calendar. Address invitations and announcements as soon as possible. Arrange to have someone mail the wedding announcements the day of the wedding. Start making final decisions and arrangements for the ceremony and reception, including food, music, flowers and any rental equipment. Sign contracts and place deposits with caterer, photographer, videographer, florist, musicians and other service providers if you have not already done so. Plan rehearsal dinner. Time, menu and guest list. Arrange for wedding day transportation for important guests and wedding party. Reserve a block of hotel rooms for out-of-town members of the wedding party and guests.

Remind men to submit their measurements to your formal wear provider. Finalize honeymoon plans. Shop for trousseau and special attire for parties, showers and honeymoon.

Choose small gifts of appreciation for the wedding party. Collect the forms necessary to change your name (if you are changing your name) on your Social Security card, driver's license, insurance, etc. Continue to write thank you notes. Six Weeks To Two Months Before Your Wedding Mail the invitations (six weeks is customary, eight is becoming increasingly common). It is not uncommon for guests to mail their response card without writing their name. To identify guests if this happens, assign each guest a number. Write this number very small on the back of their response card before you put it in with the invitation. An incomplete response card can now be matched to a guest. Use a software program or a list with each guest's name and address to track responses. Order wedding programs and reception accessories such as napkins, cake boxes etc. Make final menu decisions.
