Invitation Cards are a time saver for the hostess especially when using an
online service like SendOutCards where you do not have to purchase, address and
stamp the invitations yourself. The cards are also very high quality paper and
finish.
How many
guests to invite: Usually you invite between 8 and 30 guests. The
number would be arrived at by determining space available at the event location
and what mix of guests are being invited (ladies, ladies and men, children).
Invitation
Cards: This is where an online service really shines. You can design
your own invitation or select from baby shower invitations already available.
You select the card you want, fill in the time, date, place and other
information and send it to all invitees with one click. You can create a group
with names and addresses of all those invited. This list will also serve as a
quick selection when sending out Thank You cards after the shower. The cost of
each card is postcard ($.49), greeting card ($.98), and custom card ($1.47) plus
postage. The card is printed, the envelope addressed, the card placed in the
envelope and the stamp placed on the envelope and mailed for you all by
SendOutCards.
When to
send: The invitations should be sent out 3 to 6 weeks in advance. This
gives your guests plenty of time to arrange their schedules, purchase gifts, and
RSVP.
