So instead of a traditional wedding invitation, my fiancé and I decided to opt for a fun 'invitation package' complete with a postcard invite, mini trifold brochure (the 'info' booklet') and custom mailing labels/envelopes.
Rather than having guests mail-in their RSVPs, we are encouraging our guests to RSVP through our website OR call (if they do not have internet access).
Here's a sneak peek of what the package looks like.
On the website our guests can RSVP, request songs for our DJ, book their accommodation, make travel plans and find out more about our town (since most of them are visiting from other States / Provinces). I am also creating a one-page (printer-friendly) downloadable PDF for guests to print off with all of our emergency contact information, directions and travel tips.
We have 5 months until the big day... and although I've had MORE than enough time to plan (we got engaged exactly one year ago today), I still feel like I won't be prepared and am forgetting crucial things.
I imagine many of you other brides feel the same way... all the time in the world and still not enough ;)
Cheers!
