Invitations?

They’re nice !

Very beautiful! The font is easy to read and you have the place, time, and how to rsvp. A very minor suggestion is to keep the time consistent either numbers or writing out the time with letters (ex: 11:30 or Eleven thirty). Well done!! 🌿👍

View Quoted Comment Oops i didn’t even catch that! Thank you!

You would say either six thirty (no o'clock) or half past six. Also all numbers are written as words on the main invite. For the reply card, you can keep the numbers. Also have a phone/text option for non-techy guests.

You don't list the end time (and 11:30 o clock is not a thing).

On the main invite, just say "dinner and dancing reception immediately following" and skip the reception card.

It’s lovely. The only thing I would change is the “O’clock” portion. For thirty minutes past the hour you don’t use o’clock. It’s always the time of day for formal invitations. You can just say “in the evening”. The end time isn't necessary. They’ll leave when they need to or after the last dance.

Yeh the 6:30/11:30 o clock was throwing me too i was like “there is no such thing” 🤔🤔🤔 design is beautiful tho

Isn't it super early to print invitations for an event that's more than a year away? You wouldn't mail them for another 10 or 11 months? Just a question. I would be worried that I'd change my mind on the design or another detail.

I think it's also unusual that you are asking for RSVPs to be returned more than two months before the event. Usually invitations are mailed out 6-8 weeks before and RSVP deadline is anywhere between two to five weeks before depending on your caterer. Anything else would annoy me tremendously as a guest.
If it's a destination wedding you can send invitations earlier. But it doesn't look like it from the invite.
You can send save the dates around 6 months before.
Otherwise, I agree with the others: omit the o'clock. You should write six thirty in the evening. And either reception to follow or dinner and dancing to follow. I am not sure if the last card is necessary.

I agree! Lots of small details can change as the date gets closer. I just received my invitations for my 5/1/21 wedding and I already have a couple things that I would have done differently. I would hold off on ordering them until you get closer. And giving guests a 2 month window to RSVP is just asking for trouble. I can see people losing the invitation and forgetting to RSVP because they have so much time to decide. Maybe you did this intentionally for a reason, but those are just my thoughts!

View Quoted Comment It’s a destination wedding, most guests are traveling from out of country or from the opposite coast. We have an A guest list and a B guest list so first round has to go out earlier to make time to send out B guest list invites. I’m also not going to pass up the sale that would get us our 100 invitations for $30. Everything is already booked so no details are going to be changed.

B lists are considered rude by many and those you think will never find out they will and will be hurt/offended. Just send invites on time to everyone at 6-8 weeks and announcements to the rest.

Yes, with a destination wedding you should send invitations earlier but I would still not send them this early. That's what save the dates are for.

There are sales and discounts for invitations all the time.
But these are just my two cents.

View Quoted Comment I’m not sending them right now? I’m proofing them to order them which will take about 2 months to evens receive.

View Quoted Comment Well thanks to covid we can’t send invitations to 300 people so they’ll have to deal with it. Most people would be more offended to not receive an invitation when there was an open spot then to receive a B list invitation due to keeping guest list to a safe number.

They look great!! I love the wording on your reception card!

Looks great!! I love the colors and everything !

Totally agree with this. You can send out save the dates this summer if people will have to travel but it's WAY too early to print or send invites. Wedding invitations are on sale constantly.

They're cute!

View Quoted Comment Unfortunately this isn't strictly true, people get more upset about being B-listed, and the A-list people resent being asked to RSVP so early.


The least rude way to do this is the informal B-list, where you send out save the dates to just the A list and then have casual conversations with them to find out if they are coming. Some will say definitely yes, many will say maybe, some will say definitely no. You can strike the definitely no people off the list.
Also I think it's fine to put plus ones on a B list (not SOs, but true plus ones). So if after initial RSVPs you have 15 open spots, you can offer a certain circle of your guests (perhaps wedding party or 1st cousins) a plus one.
