Day #28 - Wedding Invitation Timeline

 

The wedding invitation is the first indication to your wedding guests of the type of wedding you are having.  It shares your wedding "style" on paper.  So make sure to make a great impression.  With that said, below is a simple stationery timeline for you to consider:

• 1 year before the wedding - start working on the guest list and gather full addresses
• 10 months before the wedding - start shopping for Save The Dates
• 6-9 months before the wedding - finalize the mailing addresses and mail the Save The Dates
• 4-6 months before the wedding - shop and order your wedding invitation suite and hire your calligraphist or digital printer to address the envelopes.  No labels, please.
• 3 months before the wedding - mail your wedding invitations
• 1 month before the wedding - contact via phone or e-mail the wedding guests that have not RSVP'd

Until next time...WEDologize!
