Oops.

Oops. 1
Since I didn't have a lot of details to add, I just had business cards printed. Both our invite and the business card have an engagement photo on the other side. [I think I saved around $175 doing this.]
I'm getting ready to put these in envelopes, and now I'm second guessing. Will they be seen? Will they get stuck in the envelope and accidentally thrown out? I'm not willing to spend more money [or time waiting] on new ones to get printed and arrive. Is this an overthink or should I somehow try to adhere the reception card to the invite or RSVP postcard?
[There's no inner/outer envelope because cost/environmentally friendly reasons.]

    Maybe get some of that semi thick nice paper and cut it into a band like thing (like making paper chains?) that you can put around the end of the bigger invite and glue the ends together so it can slide off, and slide the card into it so it's kind of connected but the recipient's can slide the band off so they have the main invite and the little card is obvious? Does that make sense?

    You could do a belly band or ribbon tie if you're concerned about guests missing it!

    I don't know that you need anything, but if you're worried maybe find some cute ribbon or something and just tie around them. You could also punch a little hole in the corner and tie them together. I think its super cute though!

    I did details cards as a business card , and it seemed to work. I just had our website on it, but that was where all hotel & transport information was, and everyone made it, so I presume they found it haha.


    It looks like yours is just the reception address? If it’s immediately after, I wouldn’t sweat it. Maybe put up a sign at the ceremony with the address if you’re worried, or have the officiant announce it at the end of the ceremony. But I feel like the crowd will all kind of mosey together anyway. I know my group is very good for the “oh yeah, where are we going? I’ll just follow you there!” approach. So I’d expect everyone to kind of move en masse.

    Thanks! It's actually at the same place, just later. Which is a little unorthodox. But we need time to flip and I wanna try to do sunset photos. And I have this thing about a party bus. I've never been on one. I won a limo ride once as a kid, but it got cancelled and I think that stuck with me more than it should have. Lol.

    I did the same thing! I made sure to put that little card in front of the invitation so if someone takes the invite out, the business cards will start to come out with it!
