We know how important the perfect wedding invitation is for your big day. It's the first impression your guests get of your celebration—and often the starting point for an unforgettable wedding.
But when designing and planning wedding invitations, avoidable mistakes are often made. To ensure your invitations arrive perfectly, we'll show you the most common pitfalls—and how you can easily avoid them.
1. Sending too late
Mistake: The invitation arrives too late—many guests then can't reserve their spot in time.
Solution: Ideally, send your invitation 3–6 months before the wedding. For "save the date" cards, even 8–12 months in advance is recommended, especially for destination or summer weddings.
2. Important information is missing
Mistake: Unclear or missing information such as location, time, dress code, or contact details cause confusion.
Solution: Check your text carefully and have someone proofread it if necessary. Use detail cards for additional information, e.g., dates, and dates. B. Itinerary or directions.
3. Cluttered design
Mistake: Too many paragraphs, fonts, colors, or small print make it difficult to read.
Solution: Choose a clear, harmonious design with legible type. We offer numerous elegant and minimalist designs that are perfectly legible and stylish.
4. Ordering the wrong quantity
Mistake: Ordering too few invitations or having too much excess stock.
Solution: Plan with a buffer of about 10% more cards than guests. Consider whether you need invitations for companions.
5. Not offering an RSVP option
Mistake: Without clear RSVP instructions, guests won't know how and by when to RSVP.
Solution: Add a RSVP card or a digital RSVP option and set a clear deadline.
