Save the Dates

In general, save the dates should reach your guests six to eight months before your wedding and up to a year before international and destination weddings. We recommend ordering save the dates eight months before traditional celebrations and up to 14 months before destination weddings.

Wedding Invitations


Traditionally, invitations are mailed six to eight weeks before the wedding. We strongly recommend ordering your invitation suite at least four months before your wedding date. That gives you one extra month to receive and address your invitations. If you’re planning to create custom invitations or add extra touches like calligraphy, you may want to allow even more time.

The invitation sets the tone for your event more so than any other piece, so let this one shine. From the invitation forward, it’s usually a good idea to have your pieces match. It’s an easy way to make your event feel consistent and seamlessly stylish.

Programs, Menus, Place Cards

Additional pieces for the wedding weekend, ceremony and reception may include:

Menus
Place cards
Escort cards
Programs
Information cards
Activities cards

We recommend ordering any pieces you’ll need for your wedding celebration at least six to 10 weeks before the event.

Dos and don’ts

- Do order extras. Trust us, you’ll be glad you did. Having extra invitations and envelopes on hand not only saves the day when you or a calligrapher make a mistake during the addressing stage, but also means you’ll have additional copies as mementos for friends, family and yourself. A standard rule of thumb is to order 10 extra copies of your invitation.

- Do spend some time thinking about where RSVPs should be sent. While RSVPs traditionally go to the wedding host(s), many guests will automatically send gifts to the RSVP address included with the invitation. If parents hosting the wedding live in a different town from the bride and groom, you may choose to have RSVPs sent directly to the bride-to-be.

Wording
Some words on wording

When it comes to wedding invitations and all their accompaniments, what to say and how to say it has left many a bride and groom wringing their hands in bewilderment. But the process needn’t be stressful or complicated. Remember, each piece in your wedding invitation suite has its own purpose and communicates a specific set of information to your guests. Following these simple rules of thumb will get you headed in the right direction:

The Invitation

Quick Tips to avoid common faux pas:

-In all cases the names of the hosts should be listed at the top of the invitation.

-Every invitation card should include:

- Names of the bride and groom

-Names of the hosts (traditionally, the parents of the bride)

-Ceremony date, day of the week, time and location

-Be consistent. If you spell out the wedding date on the invitation, make sure to spell it out on your reply card as well. If you list the date in a casual way on the invitation, list it in a casual way on the reply card.

-The term “request honor of your presence” is typically reserved for a church wedding. You are welcome to spell it as either “honor” or “honour.” Just make sure on your reply card you match it with either “favor” or “favour.”

-If you are getting married outside of a church (i.e. on a beach, in a garden, in a ballroom, etc.) suggested invitation wording would be “request the pleasure of your company.”

-The word “and” in between two names typically implies that those people are married. Names of unmarried hosts or guests should be stacked.

-If the wedding ceremony and reception are being hosted in the same location, there is no need for a reception card. At the bottom of the invitation, simply say “Reception to follow,” “Dinner and dancing to follow,” or something to that effect. -Spell it out. For your wedding collection, try not to abbreviate anything. It’s a good idea to spell out state names, street information and middle names.
