Your wedding invitations are your guests' first glimpse into your wedding style -- from the overall vibe and aesthetic to specific color combos and the level of formality. So it's important to make them count!
None of these invites arent mistakes , but here are some of the most common mistakes below.
Top 10 Most Common Wedding Stationery Mistakes
Mistake #1: Trying to incorporate every aspect of the wedding into the invitation design
While it's good to give your stationery a personal element (like your venue's amazing chandelier), less is more.
Mistake #2: Missing typos
Ask your grammatically inclined friends to look over the invitation proof and read it carefully.
Mistake #3: Using too much color
Mistake #4: Addressing the envelopes yourselves
Addressing the envelopes takes time, and many stationers offer the service at little or no charge. If you decide to do it yourself, don't do it all in one sitting. Give yourself plenty of time to avoid making any mistakes.
Mistake #5: Giving guests too much time to reply
Give guests too much time to RSVP, and they'll get lost.
Mistake #6: Over-ordering
Mistake #7: Or…not ordering enough
Mistake #8: Forgetting to put stamps on the reply envelope
It's an obvious one but an often overlooked detail
Mistake #9: Purchasing postage without weighing a sample
Mistake #10: Waiting too long to hire a calligrapher
