Invitations-Vietnamese and American ceremony

nickandkim, on March 18, 2010 at 1:19 PM Posted in Planning 0 7

So I am having trouble figuring out how to do my invitation. I am having a traditional Vietnamese Ceremony and a regular American Ceremony. I'm trying to save on postage cost and not have to send a separate invite for the Vietnamese Ceremony which will be held the morning of my wedding. It is a little involved and there is a bit of information I need to include but I believe it would fit on an insert. Would it be appropriate to include the info as an insert in my regular invitation? Suggestions please!!

    I think that would be fine. Just keep in mind though, that every item added to the invite adds to the overall postage cost (weight). The shape of the invtes also adds to the cost, with squares being more costly.

    I don't see any issue with using an insert.

    Wedding invitations have become a way for brides to show their sense of style, creativity and a preview for the event. Gone are the days of super formal invitations. The rules of etiquette are changing for invitations and it is now perfectly acceptable to use inserts with your invites. A pocket invitation would be a perfect way to organize your inserts!

    When a Vietnamese friend of mine was married a few years back, she had a very complex ceremony, and not everyone was invited to all of it. I remember (even after 12 years!) that her invitations were exceptionally beautiful, and contained information regarding the ceremony at the church and the reception (in both Vietnamese & English). She then had a variety of insert cards that she used to convey information about other events that were taking place that were more cultural or family oriented. The insertions were only included in those invitations for the individuals invited to those events.

    Overall, her invitations were heavy, so I don't think the additional insert cards added too much extra weight. I don't remember the postage. (But the wedding/reception was FABULOUS!!)

    Are you inviting everyone to both ceremonies?

    I believe the idea was to invite everyone to both ceremonies but with the intention that most everyone was not going to be able to make it since it will be 9:00 am the day of the wedding. I'm still working out the details as to who will/should be invited to the Vietnamese ceremony.

    Thanks for all the input everyone!!
