Letterpress Wedding Invitation Enclosure Options
Along with the wedding invitation, couples also have the option to include an enclosure card. There are several different possibilities for enclosures. Understanding the options for the enclosure card will help the couple to select the right one to include with their letterpress invitations.

Response or Reply Cards with Envelopes
This is the most common enclosure because it helps the couple keep track of who is coming and who isn't. This is necessary for proper wedding and reception planning. While asking for a handwritten response is always an option, there are some guests who simply won't provide one. Using the enclosure card will make it easy for them because all they have to do is choose an answer, put the card in the envelope and drop it in the mail. The envelope will have the name and address of the people who are receiving the responses with the appropriate postage.
Accommodation Cards
These cards are sent to the out-of-town guests who will need to make accommodations in the area for the event. The card will include the names and contact information for some nearby local hotels. If you are covering the expense of the hotel room, make a note on the card.
At-Home Cards
This is a wonderful way to let the guests know of your home address. This is especially useful for couples who will be moving into a new home together after the wedding. If the couple lived together before the wedding, these cards won't really serve a purpose.
Admission Cards
These are like tickets to the wedding, and used by couples who want to be sure only those people they know and invited are in attendance. These are sent with all invitations and are personalized for each guest. People who attempt to come into the wedding without these cards will not be allowed in.
At the Reception
These cards include things such as menu cards, table cards, place cards, and escort cards. The menu cards will show the items being served at the reception. The table cards will show the guests which table they should go to. The place cards will show where each person is to sit at their table. The escort cards will show the men at the wedding which woman they should escort to the reception. The man's name is written on the envelope, and the woman's name is on the card inside it.
