Invites

Response Cards / RSVPs

Wedding invitations are cards or letters asking the recipient to attend a wedding and/or wedding reception. They are typically mailed out with response cards approximately six weeks before the wedding date. When following proper response card etiquette, the recipient mails back the response card two weeks before the wedding or by the date indicated.

Response cards are enclosed with the invitation to determine the number of people who will be attending your wedding. They are the smallest card size accepted by the postal service and should be printed in the same style as the invitation. An invitation to only the wedding ceremony does not usually include a request for a reply. However, response cards should be used when it is necessary to have an exact head count for special seating arrangements. Response cards are widely accepted today. If included, these cards should be easy for your guests to understand and use. Include a self-addressed and stamped return envelope to make it easy for your guests to return the response cards.

TIP! Save money and use postcards for RSVP and save-the-dates

Postcards are $0.28 versus a letter which is $0.44. Save $0.16 per mailpiece by making your RSVP and save-the-date cards in postage form.

Wedding Directions Cards

The Wedding Directions Card can be used as a directions or enclosure card in your wedding suite. As an enclosure card, it can include information about hotel accommodations, scheduled activities, gift registries, wedding websites and other details regarding your event.

Wedding Invitations

Wedding Invitations Go Custom

Hours upon hours of looking for invites and you still haven’t found the perfect one? Call off the search and start customizing your own with the expert assistance of Castagne Graphics.

Designing your own wedding stationery isn’t a DIY project. It’s all about working with the professionals at Castagne Graphics to master the perfect look. Maybe you’re a visual person who has a specific creation in mind; or you’ve shopped around and realized that the options out there — as many as there are — aren’t the right match for you and your day. Custom-made stationery can be the key to rounding out your wedding’s style. But before committing to this project, be aware of your wedding budget and the time the process will take.

Think About Your Vision

Take some time and dream up what you’d like your wedding invitation to look like: soft colors, letterpress font, photo embellishments. Which hues and overarching style (modern or traditional) visually fit you as a couple? Share your story with Castagne Graphics to design your wedding style and the vision you have for your celebration.

Set Your Design Plan

Decide how far you’ll want to take your customization with colors, patterns, and layers of paper. Do you want a combination of specialty printing methods? Is the design you’re dreaming up unique or does your custom job involve a simple letterpressed drawing of a daisy, your favorite flower? Maybe you want a personalized invite but don’t have a specific idea. Castagne Graphics will guide you through the process.

Do the Research & Gather Your Notes

Castagne Graphics will listen and carry out your ideas. Start compiling a file of invites you like: hand-drawn sketches, past invitations you’ve received, and magazine clippings that motivate your creativity.

Choose a Color

Your wedding colors are the strand that runs through all the elements of your day. Decide how you will incorporate these hues into your paper products: Will you use a colored font, a colored pattern, or colored paper? A mix of the three? Can’t settle on one color? Then select two. Pick a pair that will be complementary, but don’t settle on pale pink if fuchsia has always been your favorite. Most important, examine how each color looks on the paper stock. Don’t assume that aquamarine font will look the same on white as it does on cream.

Decide on a Motif

Do you want a monogram or another symbol woven throughout the day’s festivities? If so, consider adding these themes to your wedding stationery. For example, an invite to a tropical wedding might include seashells and coral.

Select the Size and Shape

Believe it or not, the envelope drives the size of the invitation, so your design needs to fall within your chosen envelope formats (square, rectangular, skinny rectangular). And the envelope shape sets the tone for your wedding style (an unusual size signifies an untraditional wedding).

Wedding Outer Envelopes

Since our envelopes are created to complement all of your wedding stationery, you’ll be sure to blow guests away with an alluring correspondence they won’t wait to open!
