Map Cards: These direction cards would be included as a convenience for any guests who might not be familiar with location of church and/or reception.

Printed Invitation Envelope Flaps: This option of having your return address printed on outside envelope can save you valuable time and ensure that undeliverable invitations are returned to you. There is a small cost involved but it also gives an address to those who might not be able to attend but still want to send you a card or gift.

Lined Inner Envelopes: For a small charge, you can request your inner envelopes have a colored lining to add a special touch to your invitation ensemble. Color choices will vary depending on invitation style you choose.

Envelope Seals: These self-adhesive labels add just right finishing touch. They are available in many styles and are used on your outer envelope making it look like they are holding flap down even though it has already been sealed.

Informal Notes: These are used separately from your invitations but should be included with your original order since they are usually printed on matching paper and this will save you on shipping costs. They are personalized with either your names or monogram on front with inside being blank for writing your thank you notes. Any leftovers can be used long after wedding for other purposes. Blank mailing envelopes are included with them.

Not all of above items are necessary to make your wedding invitations complete. Remember, this is your special day, so it’s your decision as to which ones you would like to include as part of your invitation ensemble.

It is proverbial elephant sitting in room that no one dare talk about. People take extraordinary measures to tip toe around it, but it IS there. Emotionally, you can’t miss it.

Secrets are a drain. If secret persists, its impact is felt in subtle but insidious ways. People become physically ill, sometimes seriously so. People become depressed. People start doing crazy things.

Children start acting out, stop achieving, become listless or exhibit a host of other symptoms. Children, or next generation, often carry emotional load.

You want to spy because you don’t want to live with a secret. You want to discover truth. You want to feel freeing power of exposed secret and opportunity it offers for healing, resolution, a rich relationship and a productive life.

4. Some of us like drama. Soap opera scenarios and adrenaline based lives are a hallmark of our society. We get juiced or pumped up entering into emotional relational triangles that offer intrigue.

Without adrenaline, life seems boring or mundane. Perhaps an unspoken reason for an affair may be to fan fire? Or, you may spy on your cheating spouse to keep sense of being alive a part of your life.
