How to Create Maps for Wedding Invitations

Planning a wedding can be stressful. One of the hardest parts of wedding planning is getting everyone to the venue. Making a map with directions for each guest is a considerate and convenient gesture. This article is a step-by-step guide on how to create maps for wedding invitations.

Step 1: Make a list of all the areas your guest will be traveling from and locate the main highways they will need to use to get to the wedding venue.

Step 2: Use an online mapping service to get directions from the main highways to the wedding venue. If you have designated a hotel for your guests, you can get directions from the hotel to the wedding venue.

Step 3: Scale the directions down to the same size as your wedding invitations.

Step 4: Print each set of directions onto card stock or heavy paper. For a more elegant look, use the same type of paper as your wedding invitations. You can also print the directions on regular paper and adhere them to the card stock or paper of your choice. Writing the directions at the bottom of the wedding invitations is another, quicker option.

Step 5: Sort each set of directions and double check them for accuracy.

Step 6: Place the maps in the envelopes with the invitations.

Step 7: Address each envelope appropriately and send them out to your guests.
