The invitation suite
An invitation often travels with other pieces: a reply card, a details card with directions or a schedule, and sometimes a small map. Together they are called a suite. We design them as a set so they fit inside the same envelope and look like they belong together. The main card carries the essentials; the extra cards hold the details guests look up later.
Wording and checks
Invitations are the cards most likely to carry a typo that matters: a wrong date, a misspelled name, a missing time zone for an online event. We check every proof against the details you send, but the final check is yours, because only you know the correct details.
Mailing
Size, thickness and shape affect postage. Square envelopes and unusually thick suites can need extra postage, so ask your post office or printer to weigh a sample before you mail the full set. Standard sizes with matching envelopes keep this simple.
Digital versions
Many events send both printed and email invitations. We can make a digital version of the same design, sized for email or an event page.
Questions
Can you print guest addresses on the envelopes?
Many printers can print addresses from a spreadsheet. We set up the envelope design and the data layout to match their process.
How early should we start?
Work back from the mailing date: design and proofs, printing, and time to address and mail. Tell us the event date and we plan the schedule with you.
