Step 4: Mail Invitations
Its downhill from here. After addressing and compiling the invitation for your wedding, give them a quality check. Make sure no ink is smeared, all the names are spelled correctly, postage is affixed, you didn't accidentally include your electric bill in one of them and every invitation has all the pieces it needs.
Nothing too obsessive compulsive, just a quick spot check is needed. As long as you set up the assembly process properly and methodically worked through it, have confidence that you did them all correctly.
The second to last step, is to review your notes. Remember that list you made about how your perfect invitations will look? Get it and review it. Make sure everything you envisioned for your invitations was accomplished. When you are happy with your invitations, that's all that matters.
If you have made it this far and the invitations are up to your standards, you are ready to mail them. To save your outer invitation envelopes some wear, get them hand canceled at the post office. If you just dump your invitations in a mail receptacle they get feed through a metering machine like the other 500 million pieces of mail the post office handles daily. By having a postal clerk hand cancel your invitations, you give them a headstart to arriving in perfect condition.
Once you leave post office all that planning, organizing and attention to detail has finally paid off and you are finished. Of course, now begins RSVP response tracking. For that, we suggest more planning, organization attention to detail and the Track RSVP Responses Page of the BridalTrack Chronological Guide.
Good luck, and be sure to print off a copy of the BridalTrack Checklist to help you work through assembling your invitations.
