    Hello Bees; 

              I am DIYing our wedding invitations and I am a little lost as to what I need / should include in them. I have the RSVP cards done and the actual invite but I don't know what else I should include in them. Help please.

    You need the actual invitation, and depending on what info you included in the invite dinner or recetion information and any information on hotels or your wedding website address.  And the RSVP card.

    If you're getting married out of town or where some of your guests aren't familiar then I'd maybe add a map/direction insert.

    I know alot of people use gps these days but my location came up WAY wrong on the gps.... took our GM to somewhere totally wrong the day we went to set up.... I was REALLY glad I included the maps in the invites.

    And also a Reception card if the reception is in another location.

    Thanks ladies, we are doing our ceremony and reception in the same location but I think I might include a map to our location anyway. We have a lot of OOT guests, should I include something that has local attractions / things to do on it?

    Thats a good idea.  Also you should include what time your reception begins or the dinner is served for those who can't make it to the ceremony or for the ladies who want to leave their hubbies home for that part...
