Start with the date, ceremony venue and guest list. Compare designs, then decide which details belong on the invitation and which need a separate information card.
Group your guest list by recipient: a couple or household often receives one invitation. Count place cards separately, one per seated guest. Include any copies you want to keep.
Ceremony, dinner and the guest reply
Specify which part of the wedding each recipient is invited to. Different venues need their own addresses and times. For RSVP cards, agree a reply date, contact and way to confirm household attendance.
Questions about your selection
Should invitation quantity equal the guest count?
Count couples, households and individual recipients first. You may need fewer invitations than guests; menus and place cards have their own quantities.
How do we include two languages?
Prepare approved wording in both languages and mark the primary language. Discuss two sides, an extra card or compact text blocks during layout review; the choice depends on text length.
