Wedding invitations are more than just a piece of paper. They're a way to set the tone for your wedding and provide guests with all the essential details they need to know. However, sometimes there's too much information to include in the invitation itself. That's where wedding invitation inserts come in. These are additional pieces of paper or cards that are included in the invitation suite to convey information like dress code, accommodation, and RSVP details. In this article, we'll walk you through the world of wedding invitation inserts. We'll cover the most common types of inserts, when to use them, and how to design them to match your wedding invitations. Whether you choose stacked invitations, pocketfold invitations, or choose to add additional cards to a traditional invitation, it is crucial to understand the importance of each insert!
RSVP Cards
RSVP cards are an important part of the wedding invitation suite, and they can be included in both stacked and pocketfold invitations. Stacked invitations typically include a separate card for the RSVP, while pocketfold invitations often have the RSVP card tucked neatly into one the luxurious pocket. When designing your RSVP cards, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, be sure to include a deadline for guests to respond by. This will give you time to finalize your guest list and make any necessary seating arrangements. You can also include a space for guests to indicate their meal preferences or any dietary restrictions they may have. If you're using a stacked invitation, the RSVP card is the front card. With multiple shapes to choose from and a completely customizable color palette, your RSVP card will fully capture your wedding’s theme! For pocketfold invitations, you can tuck the RSVP card into one of the pockets or even attach it to the inside of the invitation itself. This can help keep everything organized and ensure that guests have all the information they need in one place. When designing your RSVP cards, be sure to match them to the overall aesthetic of your wedding invitations. You can use similar fonts, colors, and design elements to create a cohesive look. And don't forget to include a stamped and addressed envelope for guests to return the RSVP card in – this will make it easy for them to respond and ensure that you receive all the responses in a timely manner.
Details Card
Details cards are an important part of the wedding invitation suite and can provide guests with all the additional information they need to know about your big day. Details cards can include a variety of information, such as the dress code, directions to the ceremony and reception venues, and any parking or transportation information. They can also include information about your wedding website, where guests can find additional details about your wedding, including travel information, accommodations, and things to do in the area. If you have a wedding website, be sure to include the URL on your details card. If you choose to customize a stacked invitation, the details card is typically the second card in the stack. Completely customizable as far as visual features, this card also can include whatever information is most important to your celebration. Our pocketfold invitations have the perfect pocket to hold the details card. This details card is designed to match the aesthetic of the invitation and can include any details you think are crucial for your guests to know!
