When to Order and When to Send your Invitations


When to Order:

  • After you have decided on the guest list
  • When you have finalized time/place for the ceremony
  • When you have finalized time/place for the reception

This requires 3 to 4 months in advance of the event to order your invitations.

When to Send:

  • 6-8 weeks prior to your wedding.
  • Out of town guests need at least 8 weeks to make travel arrangements.

Save-the-Date cards are a good idea for out-of-towners with hotel, flight, and car rental information.

It is also important to make time for:

  • Calligrapher to address your invitations
  • You to personally address your invitations

      • Possible errors or changes needed
