Insert/Detail Cards w/Invitations

I just included the website on the insert card, but all my stuff is happening at the same location. I think you could leave the hotel info off if you have a website. Normally what I've seen is the addresses of each location and maybe a small map.

@ Silan - Okay Awesome! Thanks. ceremony address will be on the invite. So should i put both on the Details card. Ceremony, Address, Map & Reception, address, Map?

Here is my reception card

AHHH FMZ!! I love that! What size card did you use?

Here is my accommodations card

LOL Thank you all my inserts are postcard size (5.47" x 4.21")

This is what we are doing: Main invite will have the address, same for ceremony and reception and will say reception to follow. Then for inserts I have a directions card, it has a map as well as directions. I know some people have gps, but most of my family doesn't use it. And most people aren't from the area and could use the directions. The details card has the hotel block info with hotel name, address, phone number and website to book, as well as the rate. The details card also has a note at the bottom encouraging people to visit the wedding website for more information. If we were doing a separate location for the reception we would do a reception card as well.

I will tell you Snappy that I never would have ordered separate cards if I wouldn't have gotten such an awesome deal. Before VP, I was going to put reception info on the invite.

Here is the back of my reception card

Thanks Natalie! My mom doesn't "trust" the gps. She's crazy and gets lost every time she has come to mine and FH house. So i totally feel you on that. And like your guest majority of ours are out of towners as well.

@FMZ - I always figured I would have to do at least a reception card since we are in 2 different locations for ceremony & reception. And the amazing deals that keep arising are awesome and even better! I haven't worked 1 real minute at work today and trying to bust all the wording for invites, details, etc out so i wont miss them again!

Are you doing a pocket invite or having all these inserts loose? How's it looking on postage? Have you got that far yet? Okay seriously in love with your inserts now! That map is great! Did you make it? And how!?

I would do an insert since it's at a different location. I think putting the names and cities of the hotels that have been blocked and a "see the website" comment should be enough. Doing it on one card will make it easier for ppl to keep track of and save you on postage.

@Edkeller - Thanks! That's a good point! I wouldn't be one to lose it but can count half the list right now that would LOL. I dont want a zillion phone calls the week of the wedding!

Snappy, I was lucky enough to find someone to design everything for me. She used google maps then put a line and little symbols to show the 2 locations. I have a belly band. The seal for the band was printed 2 at a time on a business card.

DUPLICATE

Ok that's a terrible pic of my finished invite and idk why the belly band seal is so big LOL

LOL. They are so pretty! Love the pink! My FH said Hell No to pink LOL.

I am doing a pocket fold to keep everything together and I just like the neatness of it. I designed everything myself. I would post pictures but I'm not on my computer. I haven't figured out exact postage yet, but factored extra into my budget to cover postage. I figure the $140 I have in my budget for 65 invites should cover postage, even if I have to pay extra for the added weight.

Thanks Snappy and haha on the FI saying no to pink. FI was like whatever you want until I said I wanted hot pink and orange then he put his foot down. I truly don't know what I was thinking but he likes to make fun of me now and my seizure inducing color scheme I once had in mind

My advice is put the number to the hotel. We ordered out invites and I noticed FH didn't put the phone number, however we did say for additional details see our website. I put the question up to here WW'ers whether I should send them as is or re-order the one insert card, they all said to just send them. IT still bothered me though. I don't want guests to them have to search to find the phone number and in my case they have to book through the phone to get the deal for our block. I ended up re-ordered the insert card (which all worked out because as long as we returned the other ones they refunded the cost). I want the guests to enjoy our wedding from all aspects starting with getting the invites, I don't want to add extra work on them. Since you have three hotels I would do separate enclosure cards for the reception and the accommodations
