Timeline for Wedding Invitations and Stationery
Engagement announcements - Soon after engagement is announced.- Solidify the guest list to the wedding prior to making any stationery decisions. Make sure you order at least ten extra invitations for any last minute additions to the guest list.
- Save the Date - At least three months prior to wedding. These are especially important if there are a lot of out-of-town guests or if the wedding is planned during the holiday season or summer.
- Invitations - Sent four to six weeks prior to wedding. So plan on ordering about two to three months prior to the date of the wedding.
- Announcements - These are sent out to announce that a wedding has taken place so they should be sent after the wedding and within a year of the wedding date.
- Thank you notes - Should be sent as soon after the wedding as possible to let the sender know not only that the gift was appreciated, but that it was received.
