A details card carries what would crowd the invitation: where to stay, how to get there, what to wear and where to find your website. Pick one of 75 designs, replace the sample sections with your own, and print it at 4.25 x 5.5 to tuck in with the invitation.
Ask what a guest needs to know that the invitation doesn’t tell them, and stop there. Two or three lines to a section reads better than a full page of instructions, and anything longer belongs on your website.
Leave out the reply date and the reply details, which belong on the RSVP card. The other thing to leave off is a list of gifts.
Mix and match these. Each one is a section you can type into the maker, where the headings and the text have their own boxes.
Give a choice of prices when you can, and the date the room block ends, so nobody calls after the rate is gone.
Pointing to the website is the gracious way to share registry details.
Many people still prefer to keep the registry off the printed suite and on the website. Pointing to the website is the safest choice.
The names, hotels and phone numbers here are invented. Phone numbers in the 555 range are placeholders, so swap in the real ones before you print.
One card is enough for most weddings. It costs less, adds less weight, and there’s no second slip of paper to lose. Separate inserts make sense when each has a different audience, such as a welcome dinner for the wedding party, or travel details that only out-of-town guests will need.
Need more than one? Print the design twice with different wording: download one version, change the lines, then download again. A destination wedding usually warrants the extra card, and the destination and themed designs leave room for travel notes.
Our details cards are 4.25 x 5.5 inches, with two to a Letter or A4 sheet. That sits neatly in front of a 5 x 7 invitation inside an A7 envelope, and it’s larger than the 3.5 x 5 reply card, so the stack steps down in size and every card can be seen when the envelope is opened. Print on card stock or a heavy text weight, and cut on the crop marks.
The card has a printed back in the design’s pattern. In the maker, you’ll find it on the Details Card tab, where you can also download it alone or in the whole suite. Maps, pockets and vellum aren’t something the maker does, but a link on your website can do a map’s job.
