If you're a Seinfeld fan, you were certainly remember the demise of George's fiancée Susan, who died from licking hundreds of the cheap envelopes George had chosen for their wedding invitations. The power of Seinfeld is such that it was possible that the character would spent hours licking cheap glue rather than use a damp sponge, as any intelligent bride would do! George's penny-pinching was an integral part of his character, so of course he chose the cheapest, tackiest envelopes available on the market. While we are certainly paying strict attention to costs, we're not going to go that far! Wedding invitations are often a multi-part affair, consisting of the envelope, the invitation, an accompanying card with directions to the church or reception and a pretty, translucent sheet of paper that fills the invitations just for fun. You can hire a stationer to do your wedding invitations mailings, but it's not much trouble to do it yourself, and you can still use lovely, thick, laid paper, professionally and beautifully printed or engraved.
Invitations and announcements are an important part of your planning process, not only because they will inform your guests but because you will need to order them weeks in advance. In fact, the smart bride orders her invitations directly after setting a date, time and location, with the idea that if there's a mistake in the first batch, she'll still have plenty of time to return them and get a new batch printed up with the corrected copy.
