Cards Anyone??

Wedding Stationery may begin with the Save the Date Card ... and end with a Thank You card... but what are all those other cards in between?? 

Lets take a little trip through some of those cards!

You've received a wedding invitation and with it you may also see

• Accommodation Card ! - This card gives out-of-town guests group rate information that the bride and groom have arranged with local hotels or just suggests hotels.  The accommodation card can also include information on local attractions.

• Transportation Card - Informs guests  that you  will be providing some type of transportation (bus, trolley, etc) from Point A to Point B on the wedding day. If you need to know how many guests will be using the provided transportation, just add a line to your RSVP card so you can get a head count.

• Menu Card - This card will list your meal choices, or give you a glimpse of what is coming.

When this is all over and usually within 2-4 weeks after the wedding, you should receive one more card....

These are the more popular cards that I could think of, feel free to add some of your own!  But I do believe this is a pretty full deck!!
