Hi Becky!
At our Cluster meeting this past Sunday one of our consultants said she mails all her invites with minis and swears it's totally worth the extra expense. She also offers a prize drawing for anyone who brings their invitation to the show. That way she knows they looked at it. She says she mails her computer generated invite with the mini in bright colored #10 envelopes and has gotten great results.
Hopes this gives you something to think about. We are all going to try it!!

Thanks Donna!
I have been using the mini with my regular invite (I like the idea of a bright envelope though - I've just been using white) - but wondered more about weight if I mailed it with the bridal invites? Do you know if, when she was mailing them - that included for Bridal Shows too?
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to include a mini catalog with bridal invitations?
When including a mini catalog with bridal invitations, it's best to place the catalog inside the invitation envelope or attach it securely to the invitation with a ribbon or a decorative clip. This ensures that the catalog is easily noticed and adds a personal touch to the invitation.
Should I personalize the mini catalog for each guest?
Personalizing the mini catalog for each guest can make them feel special and appreciated. Consider adding a handwritten note or a sticker with the guest's name on the catalog. However, if time or budget is a concern, a general catalog can still be effective.
Is it appropriate to include a note about gift registry information?
Yes, it is appropriate to include a note about your gift registry information in the invitation or on a separate card included with the mini catalog. Just ensure that the wording is polite and considerate, as guests may appreciate knowing where to find items you would love.
What etiquette should I follow when sending these invitations?
When sending bridal invitations with a mini catalog, ensure that you send them out well in advance, typically 6-8 weeks before the wedding. Be mindful of your wording, keeping it friendly yet formal. Also, avoid making the catalog the main focus of the invitation; it should complement the invitation, not overshadow it.
How can I encourage guests to check out the mini catalog?
To encourage guests to check out the mini catalog, you can mention it in the invitation, highlighting a few key items that would make great gifts. Additionally, consider hosting a small gathering or virtual event where you can showcase the products and answer any questions, making it more engaging for your guests.
