The traditional/formal wedding invitations are white, soft cream, or ivory with raised black lettering. The printing of the invitations is done on the top page of a double sheet of thick quality paper; the inside is left blank. The contemporary ones are typically an individualized presentation that makes a statement about the bride and groom.
Informal wedding invitations are often printed on the front of a single, heavyweight card and may be handwritten or preprinted.
If all your guests are to be invited to both the ceremony and the reception, a combined invitation may be sent without separate enclosure cards. Order one invitation for each married or cohabiting couple that you plan to invite.
The officiant and his/her spouse as well as your attendants should receive a wedding invitation. Order approximately 20% more than your actual count. Allow a minimum of two weeks to address and mail them, longer if using a calligrapher or if your guest list is very large.
You may also want to consider ordering wedding invitations to the rehearsal dinner, as these should be in the same style.
