Poll: Is a Map necessary with a direction card?

I'm deciding if I want to spend the extra $$$...

Re: Poll: Is a Map necessary with a direction card?

I'm making up the inserts myself and I am including a map. Some people are more 'visual' and helps them to see something on a map as opposed to just written directions.

Depends on what $$$ is. I got them done, but I got them done really cheap. Shop around and see what the best price is. If its still expensive than pass on the idea. You can save yourself a ton of money by printing them out yourself.

Re: Poll: Is a Map necessary with a direction card?

We didn't have a map. Hopefully everyone has a computer and can access www.mapquest.com

Re: Poll: Is a Map necessary with a direction card?

a visual always helps me on my way. so i say yes. just print out a map from mapquest if you dun mind..

Re: Poll: Is a Map necessary with a direction card?

I didn't do it- the map was too confusing. If you follow the directions, you will have no difficulty. You could also go to mapquest and print your own if you were really worried.

i made my own map..very simple

Re: Poll: Is a Map necessary with a direction card?

I think that some people need a visual to find a location. Many times if they make a wrong turn, they can look at the map and orient themselves.

Nice, but definitely not necessary. I didn't do them.

I wanted a map just because I thought it looked better. Sometimes, it also helps to have a map with landmarks and if some of the roads are a little weird. But our directions were relatively simple and since I couldn't find anyone to match our invite paper anyway, I decided to just take it to Kinkos.

One good $$ saving option though would be to have one of these map companies make the digital file for you but not print it. I tihnk they only charge about $75 for this. You can then print them out yourself or at Kinkos. It cost us about $25 for 100 direction cards (front & back) and 100 accommodation cards. Hope this helps

I don't think they are necessary. They are never to scale. As long as your direction cards are accurate, it shouldn't be a problem.

Re: Poll: Is a Map necessary with a direction card?

Option: Print up your directions, font & size it to match your other cards, photocopy a few per page on bond or paper of your choice, then cut to size and add. (Idea provided by my invitation sales person).

Re: Poll: Is a Map necessary with a direction card?

I voted no. I think directions are enough.

I think the maps are a nice touch, but we only added them to our out of town bags--for the invitations we just provided written directions.
