Weddings are important occasions for couples, and the invitations should reflect that by being as close to perfect as possible. Misspelled words might be noticeable, but the type of stationary, the printing company you select, and the design of your invitation can also leave an impression. If you're getting married, consider these common mistakes couples make when creating their wedding invitations. 

Common Mistakes People Make With Wedding Invitations

1. Busy Designs

Most couples are excited about their upcoming nuptials, but it’s best to reign in your enthusiasm when designing your invitation. Instead of cramming too many details onto your invite, keep it simple by only including necessary information, such as the date, venue, and family details. Place information such as your registries and maps to the site on a wedding website instead. 

2. The Number of Invitations Ordered

Some wedding guests live in the same households, requiring only one invitation. However, it’s a better solution to get extra invitations so you don’t have to place a second order. Many printing companies offer discounts on bulk amounts, allowing you to save money. Ask for extra envelopes in case you make mistakes addressing your invitations.

3. Incorrect Postage

Your invitation should include a reply envelope, but many couples forget to include stamps on them. Once your invitations are stuffed and sealed, it will be nearly impossible to correct the mistake. Ask a friend to check behind you before envelopes are sealed. Similarly, you should make sure you have carefully weighed your complete invitations to determine how much postage is needed.

4. Not Giving the Printing Company Enough Time

Many people procrastinate, but it’s essential to order your wedding invitations with your chosen printing company at least five months in advance of the wedding. This allows you to spot and correct any mistakes, and it also gives you more control over when they’re mailed. While many printing companies offer expedited services, you’ll likely pay a higher rate.
