The Etiquette for Destination Indian Wedding Cards

According to Business Standard, India’s leading newspaper, while Elizabeth Hurley, married to Indian textile heir Arun Nayar, chose India as the wedding destination, Indians prefer foreign destinations for marriage. Now that many Indian couples prefer investing in destination weddings, designing comprehensive Indian wedding cards becomes imperative to organize the event well. Destination invitation protocol should be followed while designing the invitations.

Guidelines for Designing Destination Indian Wedding Cards
Given below are some things that you should consider while designing Indian wedding cards for destination wedding celebrations:

1. Send Invites in advance: Make sure that you send out the invitations keeping with the typical eight-week deadline. Guests need to make arrangements for traveling, such as tickets, apparels, gifts, etc. Therefore, sending invitations early ensures that you will have more loved ones with you on your special day. Do not forget to include an RSVP card so that guests know that they have to respond.


2. Direction cards or map enclosures are important for destination Indian wedding cards to inform the guests regarding the venue or parking spaces in a foreign destination. Make sure that you do not over adorn such enclosures and print these in clear fonts so that guests understand the directions well.

3. Pocket fold wedding invitations are ideal for destination weddings as you can easily accommodate several enclosure cards in a single invitation. Select either tri-fold pocket holder cards or multiple fold card in metallic platinum shimmer or champagne shimmer to render a modern touch to your traditional Indian wedding cards. You can also use watermark imaging to print destination graphics to add to the appeal.

4. Do not send the invites to people and then expect them not to attend the wedding. Send invites to only as many as you can accommodate at a foreign destination.

5. Free sample: Make sure that you receive a free prototype first from the invitation vendor before placing the order in bulk. It is important that you tally all the enclosures and cross check all the names, addresses and wordings before you invest a large chunk of money on the invites.


Finally, if there is still some information left that has to be sent across regarding the registry for the event or if guests are to pay for their stay on their own, etc, then create an online wedding website or send e-mails. Your invitation vendor can educate you on what all information can be sent through enclosures and what has to be send through e-mails.
