Invite Etiquette!

There are 3 common mistakes when couples begin sending out invitations for their big day.
NO BOXED GIFTS - It is common for couples to already have lived together therefore having the 'basics' when it comes to wedding gifts. A git of any kind is exactly that - a gift! Be grateful for what you receive, even if it is 3 frying pans! Most gifts can be returned, and if the gift giver remembers, come with a gift receipt. Registry information should be kept OFF of invitations (yes, even for showers!). The gift information, whether it be money, or sharing where the couple is registered, should be shared by word of mouth!
NO CHILDREN - if you have decided this will be an 18 + event, you have to get the wording correct. Only those whose names on the invite are actually invited. You can even fill out the names on the RSVP cards to avoid total confusion.
FAMILY AFFAIR - remember, everyone over 18 should get their own invitation!
