When’s the best time to order my wedding invitations?Invitations should be ordered at least four months prior to the wedding. Engraved and letterpress invitations should be ordered around four to five months in advance.
When should we mail out our wedding invitations?Invitations should be mailed on average 6-8 weeks before the wedding.
Whose names should be included on the invitations?Traditionally, only the bride’s parents’ names are listed at the top of the invitation, especially if they’re hosting and paying for the entire event. However in recent years both parents have been included .
Are response cards necessary? It is highly advised that you include a response card in your invitation ensemble. Not only does this provide an accurate count for food and beverage, this will also help you figure the number of tables, chairs, linens, centerpieces, and cake.
