Mу invitations fοr mу wedding јυѕt came іn today! Mу wedding іѕ іn 4 months аnd 17 days. Wе аrе going tο send thеm out one month before thе wedding, ѕο people саn gеt time οff аnd such. Whеn wουld bе a gοοd time tο ѕtаrt stuffing mу evelopes. I hаνе thе invite, a map, аnd thе ceremony invite. I want tο know whеn I ѕhουld ѕtаrt assembling thе invites, аnd addressing thеm?
6wks before wedding.
start now that is what i did and send them out 2 months before and them the month before send a reminder ..congrates
No time like the present. Addressing them could take awhile since you probably don’t want to do a ton in one sitting, that way your handwriting stays fresh. My invites took a lot longer than I thought so I wish I would have started early. Might as well get something done you can cross off your list.
I was the nervous, control freak bride, so I did mine 2 months before the wedding. Then they were done and I could relax somewhat.
But if you do that, make sure they aren’t sealed or around anything with moist, humid air or the glue won’t stick and where ever you put them in your house, you can actually locate them when you want to send them.(personal experience)
Anyway, addressing them also takes some time also, so you may have to factor that in also.
Hope this helps!
One month before the wedding isn’t very long … I always thought you send them out about four months before. That’s what I’m doing.
Id recommend sending them out 6-8 weeks before the wedding…Start stuffing now and put them up so you can address them and send them out when the time is right.
ASAP, since you can do them now- get it done, so you don’t stress about it later and crunch for time. Don’t worry about it, but when you have time, do it.
I had the same questions, so I started reading about wedding invitations. I found three websites that have lots of unique bridal shower invitations and personalized wedding shower invitations at:
http://www.cardsshoppe.com/bridal-shower-invitations/
http://www.express-invitations.com/bridal-shower-invitations/
http://www.announcements-shoppe.com/bridal-shower-invitations-announcements-cards/productslist-12-1.htm
I have ordered from all three sites for different occasions and been very pleased. Take and look and see what you think.
I would say that you should start assembling your wedding invitations a month before the wedding. That will give your guest enough time to mail you back the response cards.
send them now! between 2- 6 months is the norm
congrats!
