Correspondence sent 6-12 months before the wedding to provide guests with the date, city and state. You can also include accommodations, events and your wedding website. The Save the Date can be playful and does not have to match the rest of your stationery. Invitations
Invitations set the tone for your wedding. In addition to providing guests with the date, time and location, this correspondence subtly conveys how formal your wedding will be and thus how your guests should dress. Invitations are available as flat cards, folded cards and pocket styles. Three Little Birds is proud to offer 20 custom pocket styles available in over 100 paper choices. Inner and Outer Envelopes
Double envelopes are a traditional element for invitations. These originated when mail was delivered by horseback and the outer would be badly soiled. It would be discarded upon delivery and the beautiful, inner envelope presented to the invited guests. Rain Cards
Cards that indicate, for an outdoor wedding, the alternate location in the event of inclement weather. Ceremony Cards
These cards are sent to guests who are invited to the ceremony; typically when most guests are only invited to the reception. Reception Cards
These cards, a very traditional element, are included with the invitation to let guests know where the reception will be held when the venue is different from the ceremony. Note, Three Little Birds only recommends reception cards when the venue is different AND the reception does not immediately follow. Guest Information Cards
These cards can include accommodations, events, wedding website, attire or any other information you wish for the guests to know before they arrive. Accommodation Cards
These cards are used to provide guests with their loading options during your wedding weekend. Maps
Typically hand drawn, maps provide guests with a visual image of key locations for your wedding. Note, Three Little Birds recommends maps only when all venues are located in a close proximity. Response Cards
A convenient way for guests to indicate whether or not they will be attending your wedding. You can also use this card as a place to gather other information such as entree choices, responses concerning other weekend events (i.e. rehearsal dinner), arrival dates and times, and hotel selection. These can be formatted as a flat card with an accompanying envelope or a post card. Ceremony Programs
These provide the guests with information on the order of ceremony. Often included are the listing of readings, songs and wedding party members. These are especially important when the service includes elements with which a large portion of the guests are unfamiliar. We’re proud to offer over 20 different custom styles. Within the Ribbon Cards (Pew Cards)
These cards indicate that you have a special seat at the wedding. These are often included in the invitation, but must be brought to the wedding and provided to the usher. Escort Cards
Small cards, often folded, that indicate the table assignment for the guests. Seating Charts
Oversized signs or posters letting guests know at which table to sit. Can be used in lieu of escort cards. Place Cards
Small cards, often folded, that indicate the place at the table where the guest are assigned. These often also indicate an entree selection. Menus
Folded or flat cards that indicate the meal items that will be served for the reception. Table Numbers/Names
Cards that are flat or tented that indicate the number or table name. Wedding Announcements
Sent the day of the wedding, or later, these cards, which can be flat or folded, indicate that a couple has married. Favor Tags/Seals
Small tags or seals placed on the favor to indicate a note of thanks, give instruction or list the wedding couple’s names and date. Favor Boxes
Small boxes used to store the favor items; often candy. Three Little Birds is proud to offer 15 custom favor box shapes in up to 100 color options. Signs
Ways to provide guests guidance on where things are or what things are. Popular signs include “Welcome”, “Here Comes the Bride”, “Wedding This Way”, “Bride” and “Groom”, “Mr. and Mrs.”, “Love is Sweet” (on a candy buffet). Water Bottles
Personalized with a monogram or design of your choice. Welcome Bags
Customized with a message or design of your choice. A variety of sizes are available. Thank You Notes
Flat or folded stationery, sometimes referred to as informals, to send a hand written note acknowledging your guests attendance, gifts and any other kind act or gesture. The latest trend is to feature a picture from your wedding day on the front of the card. Calling Cards
Business card sized cards, but with your personal information. These can also be used as enclosures when giving a gift. At Home Cards
Cards indicating your new address; these cards can also indicate you telephone numbers and email addresses. We have had brides recently forgo these instead choosing to list this information in their ceremony programs.
