Invitations and Announcements - Tips & Tricks

Bar Mitzvah


You can lightly number your response cards so if your guest's handwriting is illegible, you can still figure out who's attending your event.

Save money on stamps by using a response postcard instead of a response card with an envelope. Postcards are always less expensive.

If you are having a sit-down meal rather than a buffet, place cards are an excellent way to get your guests seated quickly and to inform your caterers who is having which meal.

As soon as you know the time and location for your event, you are ready to order your invitations. It is always best to order them as soon as possible so you have time to make decisions and address your invitations.

Want to coordinate your invitations to match the color of your event, but can't find an invitation in the color you are looking for? You can always opt to use colored ink and a matching colored envelope lining to incorporate your event color in your invitation.

Invitations come in all and weights sizes. We recommend weighing your invitation with all of its enclosures and inserts before buying postage.

Looking for a thick invitation? Most heavy cotton invitations are expensive, but usually panel cards are made of a thicker paper than folding cards and can be made available at lower costs. Save money and get the paper quality you're looking for.

You never know when you'll need to add another guest to your list. Be sure to order enough invitations to invite those on your list today and a few more tomorrow.

It is always a good idea to order extra envelopes. Humans and printers make mistakes and it will cost more to order extra after you've placed your order.

Plan ahead and write your wording or use our Word Wizard before you order your invitations or announcements . Wording can take longer than you think!

Ask the post office to hand cancel your invitations, that way they won't have a bar code from the machine and they will arrive looking much cleaner. Especially, if you have an unusual size or thickness, you can prevent them from getting jammed in the machine.

You don't always need all of the enclosures offered for each invitation. If your reception is at the same location as your ceremony, you can disclose that on your invitation.

You'll want extra thank you notes! Not only will you send notes for your gifts, but you may also want to have a few on hand to thank the people who have supported you along the way.
