Details Card/Insert

ImpatientlyWaiting, on June 14, 2017 at 7:49 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 5

Can you share your details card? We have our hotel block information on it currently. I would rather use the space for other information instead of Directions. Advice on what to add? The reception is at the same place as the ceremony so we just put "reception to follow" at the bottom,

    We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all at the same venue, so we didn't mention it on our details cards.

    We used them to provide the room block details and our wedding website on the front and directions to the venue (which was the hotel where the room block was) on the back.

    Here's the front:

    ^^^

    Most, if not all, adults will dress appropriately for a wedding without being told to on a details card. Unless you are having a black tie wedding, not necessary.

    "Please do not arrive to the venue prior to half past four." Again, your ceremony time start should be on your invite. Also, not necessary.

    Personally, don't think a details card is necessary if that's what you're going to put on it.

    Our invites consist of the invitation and RSVP card only, no details card. We have "cocktails, dinner, and dancing to follow" on the invite.

    We sent out electronic save the dates due to a short engagement (yes, we're doing formal invites) so we emailed everyone our wedding website that has a list of accommodations, directions, and things to do in the area. Saved us a couple hundred bucks by not doing a details card. If you have a wedding website, you could list it on the bottom of your invite and put details there. It might save you a little chunk of change. If you're set on including a details card, I guess you could include hotels or directions or travel info (if you have shuttles).

    Ours included hotel information, our hashtag, wedding website, and information re: transportation between reception and ceremony cite (it's on an orchard and a small tractor transports guests in small groups)
