Information Cards

Starting to think about your wedding stationery but not sure what items you need? Invitations, envelopes, but what else should be in your stationery checklist? If you have any extra details beyond the main invite content, we suggest adding information cards to your stationery suite. Information cards, or accessory cards are included with your wedding invitation to add any extra details that won’t fit on the main invitation. Accessory cards can include an RSVP and gift/wishing well card, as well as a map/directions card, accommodation card, a reception insert, weekend itinerary, and website card.

Kinds of accessory cards

- RSVP

An RSVP or response card is a way for guests to let you know if they are attending your wedding. There are a range of different styles or RSVP cards and ways guests can respond, from filling out the card and returning by post, or by responding via a website, email or phone.

- WISHING WELL/GIFT CARDS

Wishing well or gift cards inform guests on your preferred gifting method, this could include a wishing well, gift registry or no gifts at all.

- MAP/DIRECTIONS CARD

Direction and map cards are a great way to ensure your guests know how to find their way to your wedding venue. They can be particularly helpful if your guests are required to travel. Direction cards typically have simple directions to the location, whereas map cards are more visual with a map graphic outlining major roads and landmarks.

- ACCOMMODATION CARDS

Accommodation cards or hotel cards inform your guests about accommodation and lodging options near your wedding venue. They are a good option if you have family and friends flying in from out of town or having a destination wedding where guests will need somewhere to stay. Accommodation cards list local hotels, bed and breakfasts and other forms of accommodation. If guests are making a weekend out of it, you can also add travel tips and things to do in the area.

- RECEPTION INSERT

The main invitation provides details about the ceremony location and time, whereas a reception insert lets guests know where and when the reception is taking place. This is helpful when the wedding ceremony and reception are in different locations and saves you having to cram all the information onto one card.

- ITINERARY CARDS

If you are having an overseas wedding or making it a weekend long event, itinerary cards can be a useful addition to your wedding suite. Itinerary cards can list all the events and activities leading up to your big day, on the day and even afterwards. It has all the essential information, including times, locations and order of events.

- WEBSITE CARD

If you have set up a wedding website with all the details of your wedding day, a website card or insert is a good idea. This card will feature your URL and login and password information to access your wedding website.
