Wedding invitations are typically mailed with other enclosure cards to help custom-tailor your wedding. Each enclosure card serves a distinct purpose as an aid for your guests. Some of the more common enclosure cards include reply cards and return envelopes and reception cards. Other enclosures that may be helpful include direction, map cards and accommodation cards.

The traditional wedding invitation has changed little over the years. Its essential purpose is to invite your guests and to tell them where and when your wedding is being held. It's that simplicity, coupled with fine paper, that makes formal wedding invitations so elegant. The Bel Amour album offers you customization so you can enhance the elegant invitations.

Invitations should be mailed six to eight weeks before the event date. Before applying stamps, one completely assembled invitation should be inspected and weighed by the post office to determine the correct amount of postage.
