Hi all,

i’m currently in the process of designing my DIY invites. I’m on the Directions insert right now. My question is, currently i am including:

Directions & Parking

  1. Directions to the church (from 3 different points west, east, south) & Parking

  2. To the Reception (from 3 different points east, south, west) & Parking

The second set are potentially for guests who plan on skipping the church and going straight to recpetion site. Do i need to include these? My directions card is very long right now and i’m not sure what etiquette says? I don’t want to encourage guests to skip the ceremony and head straight to Reception.

So – long story short – shall i take out the second set of directions and maybe include a shorter paragraph of how to get from Church to Reception?

Hope this makes sense! thanks bees!

I wouldn’t include directions directly to the reception, I would just sub in directions from the church to the reception. The truth is most people just use google maps/gps/mapquest anyway.

@brklynmmbb: I would definitely just do the directions to the church and then the directions from the church to the reception. I think most people either mapquest, google, or use GPS anyway so that should be fine.
