Different Kinds of Wedding Cards
As you can find on this page, there are different kinds of cards that you need on your wedding for every type of purpose. Whether you are the bride or groom, a family member or a friend, or even an honored guest; there is always a type of card that you can use.
- Save-the-Date Cards. When the ring is already on your finger and planning for your wedding day is on the way but the details are not yet finalized, you can send Save-the-Date cards to get your guests in the loop. It is sent before your wedding invitations to announce your wedding date and let your guest know that they will be invited to the occasion.
- Bridal Shower Cards. A bridal shower is not really an essential part of a wedding preparation but it is a fun tradition to celebrate a woman’s life before she submits everything to her soon-to-husband. Bridal Shower Cards are then given to the bride-to-be in order to give her well wishes for her future as a wife to her husband.
- Invitation Cards. Perhaps one of the kinds of wedding cards that is just as essential as it is necessary, a Wedding Invitation Card is the most formal and recommended way to let the recipient know that his or her presence is highly appreciated on your wedding day. It should be given at least four weeks before the wedding.
- Reception Cards. Most of the time, the wedding reception is held in a different place from the wedding ceremony, especially if it is a church wedding. In order to let the witnesses know the location of the celebration, wedding Reception Cards are given with the address and time to show where and when the reception will happen.
- Program Cards. There are different ways and even rituals to celebrate a wedding after the ceremony. Although not very necessary, program cards are sometimes included in the invitation to let guests know the flow of events and whether they need to participate in some parts.
- Menu Cards. Aside from the reception cards, Menu Cards are also given especially if a catering is involved. It allows guests to have an idea what to expect for lunch or dinner, whether an alternative food for vegetarians is included or whether the dishes are safe for their allergies.
- Congratulations Cards. This type of cards is given by attendees rather than the hosts as what the above types are for. Just like Bridal Shower Cards, Congratulatory Cards are given to the bride and groom to give them best wishes and good luck for their future together.
- Gift Cards. If you’re a guest to a wedding but you hate to bring big bulk of gifts wrapped in fancy paper, you can always give Gift Cards to the couple which may contain a check with an ample amount of money or an equivalent, such as a trip for two to somewhere exotic or an overnight stay at some five-star hotel.
- Thank You Cards. After the wedding, it is an etiquette to send Thank You Cards for the gifts you received before, during or even after your wedding day. They don’t have to be lengthy and elaborate, as long as you are able to show that you acknowledge their gift and appreciate their thoughtfulness.
- Anniversary Cards. As a guest or a family member, you can always send you well wishes year after year by sending out Anniversary Cards to the couple. Also, you can send these cards to your wife or husband on your own anniversary celebration to celebration the happy years you spend together.

The Wedding Card Checklist
Couples are steering away from the standard wedding cards and are using different styles from the wide variety of paper and printing options available. Below are some items that you should consider before you order or create your own wedding cards, not just to stay on the budget but also to make sure that you’re happy with them.
- Type. Whether you opt for the traditional cards which are made with heavy stock, cotton or linen paper for a formal invitation, or you if want to forego enclosures for a less-formal vibe, it is best to decide the type of invitation or the overall theme of your wedding first.
- Contents. Next is to decide what your wedding cards should say. There are basic things that should be included in your cards but you can always try to play around with words to make it more personalized, which includes the type style and ink you want to use.
- Personalization. Perhaps you want to make your cards more of your own, you can customize it by incorporating additional designs such as bows or ribbons or embellish it with motifs, graphics, monograms, and family crests. Just make sure they match with each other.
- Number. You may also want to consider the number of cards that you need as giving out every card to each guest can cause a fortune. Maybe you can only send Wedding Invitations to sponsors and distant relatives, while close family members may only need the Save-the-Date Cards.
- Budget. Last but not the least, is to think of your budget and how you are going to stick by it. With many personalization ideas, you may get carried away and end up giving a few cards to a few guests. You have to stay on the budget as these are not the only thing to prepare for a wedding.
Other Wedding Card Tips
The kind of wedding cards you choose says a lot about your style as a couple but who knew there would be so many types to choose from? To help you determine the right style and keep you on track, take these wedding card tips.
- Define your wedding style. Your wedding style should include the level of formality of the event as well as the motif of your celebration. You should be able to define all the details so you will have a guide in shopping for stationery or deciding what type of decorations you need.
- Know your colors. It is easy to get lost in a myriad of available colors for weddings, so you have to develop a palette of favorite hues that will perfectly represent your style and can be carried throughout the rest of your wedding cards to make a cohesive look.
- Play with shape and sizes. Because there isn’t a standard for wedding cards, you are always free to do anything with its shapes and sizes to make it more personal. However, you may still have to consider the standard size of envelopes so you won’t have problems sending them.
- Make sure they are readable. While you consider the colors and patterns of your wedding cards, you should also think about the readability and legibility of the text. Also, if you want to put a lot of texts on your cards, you may consider a shape and size that gives you enough space.
- Don’t crowd the card. When putting text and other elements on the card, make sure to choose your words wisely and you don’t get carried away with the different trinkets available to decorate your cards. A photo may not be a good idea for smaller types of cards.
