You’re about to send your invites, but WAIT! before you hit “order” on those 150+ beautifully designed cards, here’s what you need to double-check:
spelling errors are real: read every single word at least three times. one typo and you’re stuck with “wedding annoucement” instead of “wedding announcement”
Verify with your venues that the information included is all correct with what is contracted. Ceremony times, guest access times, cocktail hour times, just to name a few
rsvp deadline matters: give guests enough time to reply, but not too much time or they’ll forget! 4-6 weeks before the wedding is ideal.
venue details are clear: include the full address, parking info, and even a map link—no one wants calls on your big day asking, “where is it again?” We are happy to provide a parking map for our area.
dress code clarity: if you want guests to follow a dress code, make it obvious. “formal” means different things to different people, and you don’t want surprises.
plus-ones & kids: specify if they’re invited! trust me, you don’t want guests assuming they can bring extra people when there’s no space (or budget). This matters in how you address your envelopes.

Also, keep in mind that just because some kids are invited, doesn’t mean all kids need to be invited.
Did you check all these off your list? if not, save this post so you don’t forget!
