Ordering the correct number of invitations initially (plus a few extras just in case) makes good sense for many reasons.\u00a0 It will add extra cost and time if you have to reorder a small number later on.<\/p>\n<p>Determining the number of invitations you need for a party is easy but there are a few details that deserve a reminder.\u00a0 Remember not to order the same number of invitations as the number of guests on your guest list.\u00a0 Married couples get just one invitation.\u00a0 Families with young children that are also invited also just get one invitation.\u00a0 Young adults aged 18 or older (even if they are still living at home) get their own invitation.\u00a0 And all single adults (or adults with a guest) just get one invitation.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to order some extra invitations as many people find that they remember additional last minutes guests.\u00a0 Also, sometimes envelopes are incorrectly addressed and there is a need for a new one.\u00a0 And it&#8217;s a nice touch to frame an invitation when it&#8217;s for an important event or to place it into a memory book.<\/p>\n<p>Once the invitations are addressed and ready to mail, take your completed invitations to a U.S. post office so they can weigh and measure the stuffed invitations to ensure proper postage.\u00a0 Some over-sized invitations or square invitations may require additional charges.\u00a0 While you are there, select an attractive coordinating stamp.\u00a0 If it&#8217;s a holiday party you may want a Christmas stamp.\u00a0 If it&#8217;s a rehearsal dinner you may want a love stamp.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, remember to check and double-check the details to be printed on your invitations before ordering.\u00a0 Carefully review the spelling of the venue, the party day\/date, the address, the time, the spelling of all host&#8217;s names,\u00a0 the Rsvp phone number and\/or email address and any other critical elements.\u00a0 These details all must be absolutely correct when ordering!\u00a0 Once the invitations are mailed, keep careful track of the replies and start finalizing party details such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thestationerystudio.com\/party-supplies\/personalized-place-cards-c1405.html\">placecards<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thestationerystudio.com\/napkins\/\">printed napkins<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thestationerystudio.com\/party-supplies\/party-favor-gift-bags-c1388.html\">favor bags<\/a> and bar accessories, to name a few.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestationerystudio.com\/blog\/how-many-invitations-should-i-order\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" src=\"\" class=\"alignleft wp-post-image tfe\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><p>One of the most important details when ordering an invitation is to ensure that you order enough at the start.\u00a0 How can you be sure you order enough?\u00a0 That&#8217;s easy&#8230; Whether it&#8217;s an Anniversary Party or a Rehearsal dinner, a baby shower or a bridal<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[233,21,14,288,29,181,7],"tags":[299,298,297,295,296,294,290,31,293,289,94,292,291],"class_list":["post-1830","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bar-and-bat-mitzvah","category-graduation","category-halloween","category-invitations-2","category-summer-entertaining","category-sweet-16-invitations","category-wedding","tag-baby-shower-invitations","tag-baby-shower-invites","tag-birthday-invitations","tag-brunch-invitations","tag-childrens-birthday-invitations","tag-cocktail-parties","tag-how-many-invites-to-order","tag-invitations","tag-open-house-invitations","tag-ordering-party-invitations","tag-personalized-invitations","tag-rehearsal-dinner-invitations","tag-sweet-16-invites"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How many invitations should I order?
