Title:	Important Wedding Tips For New Brides
Article:	When planning your wedding, you want every thing to turn out as perfect as possible, which is why having all the helpful advice that you can get will ensure that your wedding day goes off without a hitch. Your wedding invitations should be mailed four to six weeks before the date of your wedding. If many of your guests are from out-of-town or if the wedding is on a holiday, then you may want to consider mailing the invitations eight weeks or more prior to the wedding. This courtesy will allow time for your guests to make the necessary travel arrangements so that they can attend your happy day. Be sure to weigh the complete invitation to ensure you attach the correct postage and to confirm whether the envelope is considered standard or over sized by the United States Post Office. Brides have up to three months from the date they receive their wedding gifts to acknowledge them and send congratulatory notes. A handwritten personal thank you is required for every gift that you receive. The note should include a brief reference to the gift and how it will be used in your new home. If the gift is monetary, do not state the amount of the gift, instead you should mention what you plan to do with the gift, such as purchasing an item on your registry or putting it towards your new home. Wedding announcements are in good taste, as they require no obligation to send a gift as opposed to wedding and reception invitations. They are sent to old friends who have been out of touch for some time, business associates, clients, people who live too far away to attend, and good friends who are not included when the wedding and reception lists are limited. Announcements should be mailed the day of the wedding or the day after, but may be sent up to a year after the wedding has taken place. Ceremony programs are growing in popularity, because not only do they help personalize the event, they also assist guests of other religious denominations understand and follow your service. Programs include the order of the ceremony, the names of all of the bridal party, parents, the officiant, readers, the source of readings, musicians, vocalists, titles, and composers of songs. Pew cards are for family members and intimate friends who are seated in specially designated pews at the ceremony. They are typically two by three inch cards and simply state the pew number or perhaps, "Within the ribbons." Pew cards may be mailed with the invitations, or may be sent out or hand delivered once attendance is confirmed. At home cards are given to friends and relatives to inform them of the address of the newly married couple. These cards measure approximately four by three inches, but for clarity it is best to state your married name on the first line, followed by the date by which you will be at the new address. For example, Mr. and Mrs. Stanton will be at their new home after the thirtieth of August at 1234 Main Street, Merriville, Ohio 44000.
