Wedding Invitations
The primary function of the wedding invitation is to inform guests of the date, time, place and hosts of the wedding ceremony, and it may also mention the location and time of the reception. The wording, lettering style and ink color you choose are also important when establishing and carrying through your wedding theme.

Enclosure Cards
Enclosure cards, as their name implies, are enclosed with the wedding invitation to provide more information for your guests. These include informal notes, at home cards, reception cards and response cards described below. Each Dawn invitation has enclosure cards of the same paper, colors and design elements for a perfect match. We recommend printing your enclosure cards in the same ink color and lettering style as your wedding invitations for a beautiful ensemble.

Informal Notes
These versatile cards may be ordered two ways to suit your pre- and post-wedding correspondence. Informals printed with your names or married couple monogram on the front are most often used as thank you notes for wedding gifts. They are also ideal for writing personal notes long after the wedding - so be sure to order plenty! Many brides order a supply of informals personalized with their maiden name or monogram to use as shower thank you notes and for other correspondence before the wedding. Matching envelopes are included with all informals.

At Home Cards
These cards are enclosed in your invitations to inform guests of your new address and when you will be moving there. At home cards have the same item numbers and prices as reception cards in the price grids. Envelopes are not necessary.

Reception Cards
Reception cards, tucked in with your wedding invitations, ask your guests to participate in the celebration following your wedding ceremony. Reception cards are also perfect as invitations to such other wedding-related events as a brunch on the morning of the wedding, a gift-opening party, a family photo session, etc. Envelopes are not necessary.

Response Cards
For accurate reception planning, response cards are essential. The cards are printed with the date to respond by, a line for guests to fill in their names and a line for guests to indicate how many of those invited will be attending the wedding reception. Response cards include envelopes printed with your return address FREE. Both are enclosed in your invitations. Guests return cards in the envelopes, letting you know whether or not they will attend.
