Is it proper to send cards are 4.25 x 5.5 invitations 50th birthday? My in-laws drive me crazy. I was asked to make invitations for their 50th anniversary and I designed the cards quarter sheet for them and got it all started. Now they ask questions about the card size and emphasizing that they have just one friend is a different size. It is larger than 8-1/2 "long by 3-3/4 inches wide.
I make these more vellum gold and Nice with brads and ribbon. . . they are really pretty, but I decided to do their small size. We will have a renewal of vows and everything to the church.
Thank you,
Christine
It should not be any problems with the size of the cards.
I received an invitation from the 25th anniversary of my aunt and they were about the same size (4.25 x 5.5).
They should appreciate the gesture you decisions and design your own. If they seem a little unsure ... just tell them you want to do a little different because you think this opportunity is so special.
Ask someone to give their opinion as well. Maybe find someone in the family to notice how pretty they are. I am sure that they are nervous to have as perfect as possible for their 50th anniversary!
Good luck!
Map content much more important than size. There is no official standard. I would say that you are able to send the cards you have, whatever the size.
However, if this is their ceremony, they get to dictate such things as a bride to her wedding. Thus, even if they are really, really anal about it, it would be nice if you can do what they ask, what is wrong, it can be.
I hope they thank you profusely thereafter for all the help.
Good luck!
there is no right size for cards of all kinds. the style and the mean much more than that. your parents-in-laws are fair, either ignore them or to do themselves, personally I think they should be grateful that you are so good, and give so much of your time.
