With so many things to consider when you are getting married it can be easy to overlook something, booking cars, taking out wedding insurance? Imagine planning your wedding and finding out when you arrive at the reception that you do not have any guests!

The all-important invitations

Your wedding invitations are one of the most important things to consider as without them how are your guests going to know what time the wedding is, where it is and where you are holding the reception. When it comes to invitations you may wish to consider that you might need two lots, one for those who are going to the wedding and reception and one batch for those who will only be attending the reception after the wedding, typically friends.

Picking out invitations is never easy, there are numerous different types and designs to choose from, some formal and some not. Which you want is of course a matter of personal taste or depends on the type of wedding you are holding. Once you have your invitations you then need to consider what information needs to go on them.

What you need to tell your guests

One of the most important things to tell your guests is what time and date the wedding is and where it is to be held. If you are writing the invitations yourself, it pays to take a great deal of time with these so as not to make any mistakes. If the printer is taking care of this then you need to ensure that the information you provide them with has been double checked. It is no good getting the invitations from the printers only to find that the date or time of the wedding is wrong. Remedying this may cost a great deal of money if the fault lies with you.

You may wish to tell your guests what type of wedding you are having. For instance, if you are having a top hat and tails wedding, formal wedding dress, informal or even a themed wedding. This will ensure that all guests now what you expect them to wear and will not feel left out or under dressed.

Furthermore, tell your guests where the reception is to be held. You may also wish to enlighten them as to what they may expect from the reception such as whether you are providing a formal sit down meal or a buffet and maybe even if there’s a formal seating plan.

It can also help if you supply a small printed map of the churches location and location of the venue inside the envelope with the invitation or have it printed on the back of the invitation. This helps to ensure that your guests do not get lost.

Protecting your big day

Wedding insurance cannot protect against you forgetting to invite guests to the wedding, but it can provide security and peace of mind against a vast amount of things on the run up to the day or the big day itself. For instance, if your guests could not reach the wedding or reception due to flooding you may be able to call on the insurance. It can also help financially if your wedding is postponed due to illness of the bride or groom and a great deal of other factors, which may otherwise ruin your big day.
