  • Allowing typos to slip in. Sure, typos may be “human” – but keep in mind that these are your wedding invitations and they should make a flawless first impression. So, before you have your invitations printed out, make sure you check, double-check and triple-check the wording on them!
  • Including all of your wedding theme elements on the invitations. While it is definitely a great idea to connect your invitations to your wedding theme, it is also essential that you don’t go over-the-top with this. Choose one or two elements from your wedding (e.g. the colors and a motif) and bring those into the invitation, instead of trying to “cram” an entire wedding on a card.
  • Leaving guests with too much time to send their RSVPs. Contrary to what some people may believe, more time does not necessarily guarantee you more RSVPs back on time. As a matter of fact, guests will be more inclined to completely forget about the RSVP if they have too much time on their hands – so set the deadline to three or four weeks after getting the invitations.
  • Addressing the envelopes yourself. You may think you’re saving money by doing this, but the truth is that having it done by someone else can actually be a lot less expensive than you imagine (and it will surely save you a lot of time – so it’s more than worth it!).
