When it comes to planning your Catholic wedding, there are many details to communicate with your guests. One of the most versatile tools for doing this is the insert card. These small yet practical additions to your invitation suite can hold all the essential information your guests need to know. Whether it's about the ceremony, reception, or travel plans, insert cards ensure that nothing important is overlooked, while also adding a special touch to your overall wedding presentation.
While every wedding is different, we recommend including at least one insert card to keep your guests informed. Some great ideas for insert card content include:
- Wedding details
- Reception information
- Rehearsal dinner invitations (for your bridal party only)
- Adoration and confession schedules (if you’re planning to offer adoration before the ceremony)
- Accommodations, travel tips, and local attractions for out-of-town guests
- Wedding day timeline and a map
- Parking information, especially if your church is in a busy area
While insert cards are a helpful and beautiful way to keep your guests informed, it's important to remember that the details, while significant, are secondary to the true heart of your wedding day: the sacrament of marriage. As you plan the logistics and perfect the invitation suite, focus on the sacred covenant you and your spouse will be entering into. Let the insert cards serve as a tool to ensure everything flows smoothly, allowing you and your guests to fully embrace and celebrate the deeper meaning of the sacrament, which is the true essence of your wedding day.
