As a sensible and responsible host one should include direction cards while inviting guests at various huge gatherings and occasions such as wedding. It is wise to and always necessary to assume that if not all most of the invitees are going to attend the auspicious ceremony. Most the time it is usually the case at all wedding invitations where most people want to avoid inviting too much of people.
As a host one should be ready with the list of people that thy want to invite at the wedding ceremony and at the reception. Getting ready with the invitee list in advance would help in placing the order of the wedding cards to be distributed on time.
Along with the wedding card, one should also include the direction and maps attached with it or in separate sheets. Since it is assumed that everyone invited is supposed to attend the ceremony, it is a good practice to include the site maps, showing clearly the wedding location and also the reception site.
In many cases, most of the banquet halls and caterers often provide printed site maps to the reception location without any additional charges. These cards may be included inside wedding cards. In such situations it is not essential to include separate site maps and direction assistance. One can provide only the destination of wedding ceremony along with address and phone number.
Directions cards are not necessary if it is supposed to be a destination wedding. Though, it is wise enough to include the contact number and information of the wedding planners and travel agents.
