They hold the details guests need to actually show up - hotel blocks, travel logistics, venue directions, dress code notes, and more - without cluttering your main invitation with a wall of text.

What Is a Wedding Information Card?
A wedding information card (also called a details card, enclosure card, or insert card) is a small card included with your invitation suite. It carries supplementary information that guests need but that doesn't belong on the main invitation - keeping the invitation itself clean and elegant.
Unlike the main invitation, information cards are typically printed in smaller sizes (often A6 or similar) and may carry one category of information each, or consolidate multiple details onto one card depending on how complex your wedding logistics are.
What to Include on Your Wedding Information Card
Accommodation and Hotel Block
If you've reserved a room block at one or more hotels, your information card is where guests find it. Include the hotel name, address, booking code or link, and the cutoff date by which they need to reserve to get the group rate. For destination weddings with multiple properties, consider a dedicated accommodation card rather than cramming everything onto one insert.
Directions and Transportation
Even with GPS, many venues benefit from a directions card - particularly rural or coastal properties where cell service is unreliable. Include shuttle times if you're running a service between accommodation and venue, parking information, and any venue-specific access notes (gates, private roads, valet instructions).
Dress Code
A separate dress code card is useful when your attire expectations go beyond a standard label. "Black tie" is self-explanatory; "garden party cocktail on a grass lawn in August" needs more context. A brief card with practical guidance - especially for outdoor, beach, or physically involved venues - saves guests from arriving in the wrong footwear.
Wedding Website
A small card with your website URL and QR code is one of the highest-value inserts you can include. Direct guests to your site for full travel details, registry, accommodation updates, and the online RSVP. Many couples use this as a single catch-all card rather than sending multiple inserts.
Event Itinerary
Multi-day weddings and destination celebrations often benefit from an itinerary card: welcome dinner on Friday, ceremony Saturday afternoon, farewell brunch Sunday morning. This sets expectations and helps guests plan their travel around the full event schedule, not just the ceremony time.
Dietary and Accessibility Information
Prompt guests to indicate dietary requirements or accessibility needs by including a note pointing them to your website RSVP or a contact email. This is especially helpful if you're not using a printed RSVP card.
How Many Information Cards Do You Need?
There is no fixed rule - it depends on how complicated your wedding logistics are:
| Wedding Type | Typical Inserts | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Simple local wedding | 1 card (website/details) | Website card handles most logistics |
| Multi-venue wedding | 1-2 cards (directions + website) | Separate ceremony and reception venues |
| Destination wedding | 2-3 cards (accommodation + itinerary + website) | Guests traveling from multiple cities need more |
| Multi-day celebration | 2-4 cards | Full itinerary, shuttle info, dress codes per event |
Wording Your Wedding Information Card
Keep it brief and scannable. Guests read these quickly. Use short sentences, clear labels, and bullet points where possible.

Print Methods for Wedding Information Cards
Your information cards should match your invitation suite in both design family and print method. Paperlust offers the full range of print methods across information card sizes:
Digital Print
Full color, most affordable, fastest production. Works for any design style including photos, watercolor illustrations, and colorful patterns. Pairs with matte, premium, linen, kraft, blush, and metallic paper stocks.
Letterpress
A pressed impression in 300gsm or 600gsm Wild Cotton gives information cards a tangible weight and texture that guests notice. Best for minimal two-color designs with clean typography - an accommodation card in letterpress communicates that every detail has been considered.
Flat Foil
Mirror-bright metallic finish in gold, rose gold, silver, copper, and more. No custom die required - minimum order of 10. Ideal for matching a foil-accented invitation suite on a realistic budget. Available in gold, pale gold, rose gold, silver, copper, red, green, blue, hot pink, and holographic.
Foil Stamp
A traditional deboss impression with custom die - minimum 50 cards. The gold standard for luxury suites where every insert receives the same treatment as the invitation itself.
White Ink
Striking on dark stocks - navy, black, burgundy, and kraft. Ideal for a dramatic directions card or bold website card that stands out from a standard white insert in the envelope.
Metallic Ink
A subtle metallic gold shimmer at a more accessible price point than foil. Available on matte, linen, and premium paper - good for adding some shine to an otherwise clean digital print suite.

Frequently Asked Questions
They're the same thing - different names for the same type of insert. "Enclosure card" is the traditional stationery term; "information card" or "details card" is what most couples search for today. Both refer to supplementary inserts that sit alongside the main invitation to convey logistics that don't belong on the invitation itself.
Information cards are inserts - they go inside the main invitation envelope rather than being mailed separately. Your invitation order includes free white envelopes. Information cards are sized to fit inside your invitation envelope alongside the other suite pieces.
Browse by design family on the Paperlust site. Every design in the catalog is part of a coordinated collection - if you find a wedding invitation you love, look for the matching information card, RSVP card, and envelope liner in the same design. Your Paperlust designer will ensure all pieces are consistent at the proof stage.
Yes. The $5 sample pack includes 7 designs across different print methods so you can feel the paper quality and print methods before committing to your full order. A $20 full swatch kit covers all available paper stocks including letterpress options. Note: custom samples are available for most print methods but not letterpress.
Order one per invitation envelope - not one per guest. If you're sending 100 invitations, you need approximately 100-110 information cards (order slightly above estimate for errors). If some guests are local and don't need travel details, you can customize which envelopes receive which inserts.
Yes. Many couples now use a website card with a QR code linking directly to their wedding website. Upload your QR code image to the Paperlust design editor and your designer will position and size it correctly at the proof stage. This is one of the most practical inserts you can include - it handles accommodation, directions, RSVP, and registry all in one small card.
