Wedding Invitation Breakdown? HELP?!?

 

So my fiance and I were flipping through a catalog to get some ideas regarding the invitations, and boy or boy were we thrown for a loop! All I understood was "Informal" which means blank, right?

Could all you loveys out there help me with the breakdown of how the invites go and what you ordered? Or explain the following? I’ve never dealt with formal invites before and I’m clueless!

I don’t understand:

Outer printed envelope- Does this mean our address is printed and we fill in our guests addresses?

Inner lined envelope- Huh? Is this just a pretty color?

Reception invite- I’m assuming a separate invite for the reception, but can’t we do that on the invite and include a map?

RSVP cards- I didn’t see an envelope option included, but do we include these IN the invites with our own envelopes and stamps? Or can we fore go this step and have them RSVP online or something?

Thank you’s- Most I’ve seen come with these, so I think I get this. And most of the invites are package deals, and they run from 0-0 depending on what you want to include.

So confusing. If you could just tell me what y’all did for invites and what I absolutely need and can do without, I would be much obliged. Thanks!

Oh, and only a couple people are from out of town if that’s needed info. They all have places to stay, so no hotels or anything like that for them! :)
@ Because I Said So- Sorry, I wasn’t clear! The thank yous are included. The 0 was the TOTAL price for the invites, reception invites, envelopes, printing, and thank yous all together. I couldn’t afford just 0 on thank yous alone, either! :) >

WIll U.S.A find ways to capitalize on Prince William's nuptials/Wedding? like what ?

 

I was reading that PW’s wedding memorabilia and nuptials will make a huge impact on the recession in England—I was thinking if someone wanted to here, they could print up some Prince Will & Kate Stamps (fake collector-memorabilia type) and sell online. What a great idea, and of course T shirts, etc. Any other cool and funny or interesting ideas? Lad or Lasses : )

I would also like to add that this is not a list that I thought up, I got this list off of one of those wedding guide sites. :D Sorry about the confusion. I am so confused with this whole wedding thing, I dont even know where to start :|

Singing the wedding day blues…?

 

So here we are following a long engagement, happy to at last share an intimate church wedding and reception with family and friends we’ve known for a very long while.

Sounds great, right? Well, in the way that counts most — yes. Then, again, the exceptions were so glaring that they beg us to decide whether we ought to read anything into what transpired — or not.

In summary…

A hefty percentage of our invitees couldn’t be bothered to return their postage-stamped RSVP card (including family); those who *should have*, neglected to plan a bridal shower or a bachelor party; a member of our bridal party left about 3/4 into our reception (no fight, no reason); one set of parents decided not to toast us (our first and only marriage, and we are not estranged!); about 1/3 of those who declined our invite chose to acknowledge our marriage exclusively on Facebook (no card, no call, no personal email); several people asked where we were registered yet not a solitary guest purchased a gift off our registry (the usual places, starting at ); a bunch of people, including a bridal party member, didn’t think it necessary to wish us well by card (and we’re "card people" who hang on to those forever); we were falsely accused of failure to pay the church fee even though we have a receipt and a cleared check to prove otherwise; some of our wedding & reception help dropped the bomb days beforehand that they had competing social engagements and could not be on hand at the time previously discussed; those for whom we had honorariums skipped out before we could greet or pay them — only for our wedding coordinator to relay during what was supposed to be the start of our honeymoon that we needed to take care of that beforehand (delaying our getaway), etc., etc.

……………………………………………………

A good percentage of our guests included people with whom we’ve celebrated birthdays, weddings and the like long before our own special day took place. We have a clear conscience when it comes to our own behavior towards others, so little did we expect them to rub us the wrong way on such a major occasion in our own lives. Yet that’s exactly what happened.

Questions…

The question, ultimately, is how best to proceed? Chalk this up to a flakey, flukey sign of the times or an intentional slight? Is there a diplomatic way to ask some of our most overt offenders WWYT? (What were you thinking?) Or should we ignore the OTT insensitivity even at the risk that it will annoy or otherwise haunt us for the foreseeable future?

Thanks for weighing in…
