I think that is what I ordered. By response folder you mean response set right, with the envelope and printing on that as well. We had additional charges for special ink and monograms, but I ordered the pieces you mentioned.

Informals are small cards - like the reception card but larger that can be used as thank you cards, notecards, etc... It will match the border or pattern just like the reception or response card.

Re: Need Invitation Clarification

o so it really isn't necessary if you are having a photographer who is providing thank you's?

Re: Need Invitation Clarification

yes I know all about extra costs for printing, liner, extra lines, envelops, etc.

Yes, I mean the set/folder

I am not getting information, either, photographer supplies.

Thanks!! (trying to estimate costs and make sure I include everthing I need)

Re: Need Invitation Clarification

some people use informals, rather than a respose card. Way back when, people used to write a letter of response (yes or no) and send it back to the bride and groom. Now a days its hard enough to get people to check off the damn box and send it back, nevertheless write a note!!

I kinda like the 'blank' response card note. The card would read, 'The favour of a reply is requested before the first of May.' or 'Kindly reply before the first of May.'

A little different than the traditional:

M ________________________

___ will attend

____ will not attend

No matter what you choose, you should write a number on the lower left corner on the back of the card (in pencil) that correpsonds w/ the guest name on your list. Believe it or not some people send the cards back completely blank.
