You can either send out a good old vanilla invitation or do both you and your guests a favor and add a couple of very vital cards to your invitation as follows.
Save-the-date Cards
Statistics say that the average time span from an engagement to wedding in India is 7 months, but an average invite makes it to the guests only about 2 weeks in advance. Sure, life is busy when it comes to weddings and you definitely do not want to risk sending the card too early and having it lost in oblivion. Presenting – Save the date cards, a simple, quick and pretty card with just your wedding date and location! It’s a huge life-saver for your guests who will appreciate the advance notice of your great event and save you the trouble of rushing the cards at the last moment.
RSVP Cards
Again, statistics say that 99% of wedding invitations request guests to RSVP and less than 1% actually do! While the RSVP culture still has a little bit of catching up to do in India, how about setting the expectations right with a separate dedicated card for RSVP along with a self addressed envelope? Even a small step forward on getting the right count of your guests is a huge leap forward in saving some of your hard earned dough.
Wedding Websites
Finally, nothing beats creating a personal wedding website (also known as ‘wedsite’). It’s a great way to share all your personal and wedding details through the convenience of the internet and captured in a custom designed template that conveys your style. Add maps, pictures, things to do in the city for your guests, a guest book for your guests to send wishes and an RSVP for your guests to confirm their attendance and your wedding could never be smoother. These wedsites can be hosted on your personalized domain name – like www.raja-weds-rani.com and make for a great detailed add-on to a simple invite card.
Once the wedding is done, share all your pictures within the confines of your own wedsite. For conspiracy theorists, stay assured about the privacy of your content. These wedsites offer really tight privacy settings so that only the guests you invite can view its content. For exquisite Indian designs and more, check out www.FirstPhera.com to set up one up. It takes less than 30 minutes and is absolutely FREE!
