After reading this article on The Knot, this excerpt in particular caught my eye:

One of the simplest, yet probably most useful, things you could do for your guests is to provide a wedding itinerary. After sending out your invitations, mail guests an additional clever, elegant, or interesting communique with a complete rundown of the events leading up to and following your walk down the aisle. In addition, create a wedding web page for an easily referenced one-stop-shop for guests to check up on everything you have planned. In both cases, include key times, locations, who is hosting, what to wear, and so on for each activity. Tell your visitors about any free time they’ll have, and provide suggestions for how to fill it. There may be events you have in mind (such as a brunch the morning after the wedding) that travelers should know about in advance so they can schedule their trips around them.

You may remember that I had already planned to include weekend timelines in our Out of Town Boxes, but the article prompted me to take that idea a bit further.

I took the same information from the OOT Box timeline, made a few design changes (in PowerPoint, of course) and transferred it to a postcard.

We’re going to get these printed by Vistaprint and send them out after we get our RSVPs back.

I think they’re adorable, and even though Cheeseburger Mom thinks people will forget them at home (probably true), I can’t pass up sending them out!

What do you think - necessary or not?
