Don't use abbreviations anywhere on your invitation. The exception is for Mr. and Mrs., but all other words should be spelled out (i.e. Doctor, Road, Street, States, Junior, etc...)
Don't write "no children please" on your invitation. If you would rather your guests not bring their young children, address the invitation to the invited family members by name.
Don't forget to order extra invitations and envelopes.
Don't mention gifts, charities, or registries on the invitation itself. There are some ways around this rule ~ see below.
Don't print mailing labels for your wedding invitations (or any social invitation). See below for some creative ways to address your wedding invitations.
Don't mix your beautiful invitations with a homespun wedding map or guest information card. Either have these professionally designed and printed, or don't include one at all.
Don't rush into ordering the very first thing you like. Look around for a designer or supplier who can provide you with the whole package: coordinating save-the-dates, invitations, map cards, wedding programs, place cards, menus, and thank you notes
