Time to send out the invitations! The hall has provided you with directions cards for all you guests. Yes!!! You tuck them into the envelopes and off they go! Your guests open the invitation and are relieved to find directions enclosed. Not everyone has a GPS or access to Mapquest.
The service is over, the bubbles have been blown and the guests get into the car and pull out the directions. Lets see--from 80 and points north, 287 and points south, the Garden State Parkway, Route 46, Route 3 Arrrrrrgh! If I don't know how to get to any of these roads from the church, how do I get there from here??? Uh-oh.......
Provide your guests with directions from the ceremony location to the reception location. Receptions are much more fun when the people show up! Have additional copies at the ceremony location to pass out to the guests who forgot the directions at home. You might even include the estimated driving time and the cocktail hour start time as well. One bride even provided local businesses in the area of the reception for those who might be in need of a drugstore, Starbucks or a White Castle fix!
On occasion, I have seen directions cards provided at the reception guiding guests back to all the major highways to help them find their way home. What a great idea!
