Wedding card and wedding invitation are often used interchangeably. Some people are confused if they happen to receive a wedding card does that automatically mean that they are already invited to the wedding? It is a major concern for many guests since they don't want to be polite coming to a very formal event when in fact they are not invited. It is both an embarrassment to the part of the guest and the couple as well. Let us learn from the experience of Jane. Few weeks before the wedding of her close friend Anne, she received a wedding card. It is more like a card that announces that her friend is already getting married and the card has all the details. It could actually pass as an invitation but the thing is, it is not like any other wedding invitation that she received. She dismissed the card and thought that maybe a formal wedding invitation would follow. However, a week has passed and still she haven't received any. She is already close to crying and being offended when their common friends would talk about what they will wear on the wedding and what would their gift be. Some of their friends are even arranging how would they plan to go to the wedding and some would even stage a surprise number for the couple. All the talks and conversation about the wedding is only leaving Jane sad and confused, why would Anne do this to her? Out of desperation, she talked to Martha, one of her closest friend in the office. She also claimed to received the invitation. She told her how sad she was that Anne did not invite her in her wedding and that all she bothered to send her was a wedding card! She asked Martha in between tears, "Am I that insignificant?" Martha hugged her and show her the same card that Jane received. All along, they received the same wedding card and there is really no wedding invitation. Martha explained that Anne does not have enough budget for the wedding so they decided to send out some wedding cards instead. It is practically the same, only cheaper and a lot simpler. It is devoid of all the formalities and elegance of a wedding invitation but it would still work to the same purpose and it is also an effective medium to tell friends that they are invited. Anne overheard the conversation of Jane and Martha. She stepped in and said, "Of course Jane, you are invited, what made you think that you are not? My wedding would not be special if you are not there!" The three girls hugged each other and they are all thankful that the conflict on wedding cards and wedding invitation was all settled right in time. Jane still has the time to buy her dress and a wonderful gift to the couple.
