The etiquette of addressing formal invitation envelopes can leave you scratching your head. When you're inviting a single mom or a family where not everyone has the same last name, the formal address gets tricky. Don't fret about making an etiquette faux pas. Just educate yourself on the proper titles, and your wedding invitations will make the invitee smile.
Become a Wedding Officiant
Choosing to become a wedding officiant can be a delightful way to perform a necessary service while enjoying a profitable income. Wedding officiants who are independent from organized religion often have complete wedding-planning businesses. A successful wedding business often requires travel to unusual or romantic getaways for the ceremonies.
Plan a Cruise Wedding
A cruise wedding can be surprisingly affordable. Choosing to be married on a cruise ship is one way to combine many wedding and honeymoon expenses into one lump sum. Another advantage of a cruise wedding is that much of the planning and stress can be removed from the bride, groom and their families. This is because when you purchase a wedding package, you are also purchasing the services of an event planner who will be responsible for the majority of the details of the wedding. Learn how to plan a cruise wedding to see if this is an option for you.
Reserve Hotel Rooms for Wedding Guests
If you are planning the details of your wedding, it is important to reserve hotel rooms for wedding guests. Circumstances may arise where you will be getting married that may prevent your guests from being able to book hotel rooms. When multiple hotel rooms are booked, the hotel often will give you a discount. Booking hotel rooms in advance will save you and your wedding guests money, time and frustration.
Print Wedding Envelopes
While it is more proper and personal to hand write your wedding envelopes, brides sometimes choose to print the addresses on the wedding envelopes using their home printer. Brides magazine suggests that a bride should only print the addresses on her envelopes if the font used is close to, if not the same as, the font used on her invitations. In this case, the bride should always print the addresses directly on the envelope and not a label.
