A: Yes, to make sure you have enough for "overlooked" guests and for keepsakes. It is easier and more cost
Q: How do I indicate on my invitations that a wedding and the following reception is for adult guests only?
A: You should not print "no children" or "adults only" on an invitation. The way your invitations are addressed
indicates who is and who is not (by omission) invited to the wedding.
Q: When the wedding reception is at the same place as the wedding, how do I word the invitations?
A: You have several options. You can use corner copy on the bottom of the invitation that states, "Reception to
immediately follow" or you can state in the invitation, "and join us afterward for a reception."
Q: What is the best way to include a deceased parent on my wedding invitation?
A: The invitation needs to be worded so the deceased parent does not invite the guests to the wedding. Refer to our
wording resources here.
Q: Is it appropriate for guests' names to be informal on the inner envelopes?
A: You may address children, close friends and relatives informally on your inner envelopes. For relatives,
addressing them as "Uncle Fred," "Grandma Smith" or "Grandpa" are all acceptable. However, you need to
consider who is issuing the invitations. For example, if the bride's parents are inviting the guests, they would not
refer to the uncle of the bride as "Uncle Fred."

A: No, couples who are dating should each receive an invitation. It is up to you to find out each guest's name.
