An alternative to paper<\/strong> : the save the date sent by email. An economical and fast way to send them, even if we prefer the effort of the paper save the date, we must admit that it is practical \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

THE INVITATION \/ THE ANNOUNCEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

When to send it?<\/strong> We advise you 4 to 5 months before the wedding. The purpose is to remind people that they have noted your date in their respective diaries, and to tell them precisely the places of the wedding, what they are invited to (ceremony and aperitif only or at the dinner as well), the times, the wedding list if there is one. Not to forget<\/strong>\u00a0: set a response time (the famous “RSVP”), about 3 weeks before your wedding.<\/p>\n

NUMBERS, TABLE NAMES AND PLACE CARDS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once the day has been planned, the final number of guests confirmed, a seating plan must be decided! Who goes with whom, around which table, next to whom? Let’s go for a few hours of fun puzzles \ud83d\ude42 You don’t necessarily have to place people around the table (except for yours, so that nobody takes your place of honor).<\/p>\n
