At last! Pictures!

Here are two (much delayed) pictures from a previous job. : )

Production Job, Complete

Whew. Our big production job is now complete. Rather, it was on Saturday but I just went through all the elements, making sure they’re all perfect and there’s the right amount. We printed her wedding invitations, directions cards, reply cards, reply envelopes, outer envelopes, and provided the inner envelopes; 175 of everything (+ more envelopes for mistakes and extra invitations for keepsakes). That’s a lot! But oh it was satisfying. We’re delivering the package on Saturday and if she’s okay with it, I’ll post a picture of them.

Children at the Wedding

A question that I was asked this month is, “We don’t want kids at the wedding. How do we express that on the invitation?”

As it’s considered rude to put “No children please” on the wedding invitation, the only thing you can do is when addressing the envelopes, address it to “Mr. and Mrs. <name>” and not “The <Names>.” It should be understood that if someone’s name is not on the invitation, they are not invited. Also, you have to be consistent. You can’t allow for some people to bring their kids while telling others that they must get a sitter; that’s how feelings get *really* hurt. Make no exceptions: all kids or no kids. And if you choose not to invite kids, I would make it known to close family members, so that should an aunt or cousin ask them if their kids will be welcome, the family member can say accurately “yes” or “no.” (If you’re afraid you’ll feel like a scrooge not inviting the kids, feel free to use the excuses “financial reasons” or “we’re afraid they’ll be so bored.”)
