Wedding Invitation Do’s and Don’ts
During the planning of a wedding, there are things that one should and should not do in order to make the event successful. And during the planning phase comes the making of the invitation cards, which is also another crucial part of the wedding. It is very important that these invitations are able to work well since they give out a first impression of the event and they also set the tone. Below are some things that you can and can not do with invitations.
1. On the front page of the invitation card, DO write the bride’s name first before the groom’s. This is simply according to etiquette, and there have been instances wherein this tradition isn’t followed.
2. Whatever the motif is for the entire wedding ceremony and reception, DO stick with that for the invitation design’s color scheme just to be consistent.
3. Because wedding invitations usually indicate the flow of events as well, DO keep a copy of the beautiful invitation just in case you’ll need it as a guide.
4. Even though you have included an RSVP on the invitation, whether it included on the sample invitation card itself or printed separately, DO reach out to the people you are inviting and remind them for their response.

7. Some couple hold pre and post wedding events such as bridal showers, wedding rehearsals, and post-nuptial gatherings. When creating invitations, DO NOT include these events, focus on the wedding day itself.
