Wedding Invitation Enclosures – Map & Direction Cards

Maps and directions cards are an important invitation enclosure for out-of-town guests, and especially if you are hosting a destination wedding. Unless your all of guests are local to your wedding location, I suggest that you always include a map and directions to both your ceremony and reception venues. As for etiquette (and aesthetics), please do not insert printed directions on copier paper inside your beautifully designed invitations.

While I am on the topic of maps and directions, a very popular trend among destination brides is to have custom map and direction cards that double as keepsakes for guests like the one above designed by calligrapher, Laura Hooper. I am in awe of these custom maps and I think they are a great way to captivate your guests with details. To date, I have not had an opportunity to work with Laura, but I have heard and read nothing but rave reviews about her artwork
