Summer Colors
Color is really a matter of personal preference, but there are a few basic guidelines you can follow. Most weddings in the summer are light colors (pastels), such as sky blue, pink and pale yellow. Any pastel color is a good choice, and you can pair them with silver if you want an elegant effect. Peach, mint green, and lavender are also pretty colors for June weddings, or you can combine them in pairs---pale yellow and lavender is a popular combination right now. Lighter neutrals also look nice; khaki, taupe, pale silver and pale gold are examples.
Invitations
Invitations not only inform your guests of the date, time, location and hosts of the wedding,
they set the tone for your entire celebration. Your wedding invitation may also include the
time and location of the reception. Mail announcement six weeks before the wedding and
be sure to have your invitations weighed at the post office to determine the proper
postage. After entering your invitation copy you will have the option of selecting a lined
inner envelope.
Outer Envelopes with Printed Return Address...
Save time while making sure undeliverable invitations are returned to you by having your outer envelopes printed with a return address for a slight additional charge. This will also ensure that those guests who want to send cards and gifts directly to your home will have
the correct address.
Lined Inner Envelopes...
Choose a lined inner envelope to enhance the beauty of your invitation. A variety of colors are available to choose from for the perfect look for a slight additional charge.
Reception Folders and Cards...
Reception cards are used to inform guests of the location of the wedding reception and or
dance. Since reception cards are enclosed in with your invitation, mailing envelopes are
not necessary. Reception cards use the same folding card as an informal and respond
card.
Respond Folders and Cards...
Respond cards are used to help determine how many guests plan to attend your wedding.
An accurate count is vital for preparing enough food, seating and other accommodations
so ordering respond cards can actually save you money. Response cards are included
with your invitation and returned by guests by the date indicated on the card (usually two
weeks before the wedding.) Today, many cards are printed to allow guests to select an
entree as well as indicate if they will be attending your celebration.
Respond envelopes are included free with your respond cards. They should be printed
with the address of whoever will be tallying the guest count. As a convenience for your
guests, be sure to include a stamp on each envelope
