Directions Cards
Make sure every guest is there to see your big entrance! Printed directions cards are the best way to ensure that no guests get lost on the way to the ceremony or the reception.
On your wedding day, you want everyone to be relaxed and in a good mood. Your best insurance that guests will be happy? Make sure the directions to both the ceremony and reception are clear. Don’t assume that everyone has smart phones and will be able to punch in an address and navigate their way there as fast as your twenty-two-year-old brother. Think of all the enclosures you send with the invitation as your guests’ passport to a smooth and seamless celebration surrounding your wedding. Provide simple, easy-to-follow directions to each venue where guests will be expected. Start by pulling up your favorite online map provider. Assume guests will be able to find their way to a main road or landmark near their destination, then map directions from there. Edit down the directions – or clarify them with visual landmarks – as needed. If parking is an issue, you may want to add a note about a convenient garage or valet service. Browse our directions card templates to see if a certain format appeals to you, then take it from there and customize your directions card to your heart’s content. Just keep this in mind: as always with Mixbook, you really do have incredible flexibility. While it might be appealing to choose sweet little letters or a font with a lot of flourish, stick with clean and big type for this one. Picture the size text you’d want if you were driving and glancing at directions, then double it for your grandfather’s benefit. After all, if everyone – including gramps – arrives in a festive spirit, the festivities will be that much more fun. Happy planning!
