Sharing the News of Your Pending Marriage



            

Inviting friends and family members to share your happiness over your pending marriage is a wonderful and exciting part of being engaged.  And one of the most important decisions you’ll make is the selection of all parts of your paper trousseau.  Our experienced consultants are your best source for ideas, information and advice on these key decisions.


  • You should plan to order all of the items you’ll need at one time to insure that all pieces coordinate.  TriniWeddings consultants can help you develop the list of various paper items you will need, so make an appointment to talk with our specialists about those needs as you begin the search for the perfect wedding papers.

  • If you are planning to invite out of town guests or if your wedding is planned for a holiday weekend, it is very wise to send Save the Date cards.  These are usually sent out four – six months prior to the wedding date.  But a word of caution:  Be sure that those guests who receive Save the Date cards remain on your invitation list.   That means that you must have the number of guests planned for the wedding and reception firmly in mind when you place the invitation order.

  • Because invitations offer guests a preview of the formality and tone of the wedding, a great deal of thought should go into their selection.  Formal wording should be used for formal weddings.  Individuality can be expressed by choosing unique sizes, textures, colors, overlays and/or ribbon trims

  • Programs, while optional, are very nice to have for guests as they describe the ceremony and the identity of the participants.

  • Thank you notes should be ordered at this time as well.  There are several options for incorporating the names of the couple on these notes.

  • Plan to send your invitations six – twelve weeks before the event.
TriniWeddings will be delighted to assist with advice and guidance in all your paper trousseau selections.
