The Ultimate Wedding Stationery Timeline: When to Order & Send Your Invites
Planning your wedding is an exciting journey, and one of the most important aspects is your wedding stationery. From save-the-dates to invitations and on-the-day stationery, having a clear timeline will ensure everything is perfectly in place. At BNC Creative Design & Print, we specialise in crafting bespoke wedding stationery that adds a personal and stylish touch to your big day. Here’s a complete guide to your wedding stationery timeline to keep you on track!
12-18 Months Before the Wedding: Start Planning Your Stationery
Your wedding stationery sets the tone for your big day, so it’s never too early to start gathering inspiration. Think about:
-
The overall theme and colour scheme of your wedding
-
The type of stationery you’ll need (save-the-dates, invitations, menus, place cards, etc.)
-
Whether you’d like bespoke designs from professionals like BNC Creative Design & Print
9-12 Months Before: Send Your Save-the-Dates
Save-the-dates are essential, especially if you have guests travelling from afar. Aim to send these out 9-12 months before your wedding. If you’re planning a destination wedding, giving your guests even more notice is ideal.
6-8 Months Before: Order Your Wedding Invitations
Your invitations should be ordered well in advance to allow for design, printing, and any embellishments. At BNC Creative Design & Print, we offer fully customisable designs, ensuring your invites reflect your personal style.
2-4 Months Before: Send Your Invitations
Wedding invitations should ideally be sent 2-4 months before your big day. This gives guests ample time to RSVP and make travel arrangements. Be sure to include essential details such as:
-
Date, time, and venue
-
RSVP deadline
-
Dress code (if applicable)
-
Accommodation details
2-3 Months Before: Order On-the-Day Stationery
Now’s the time to think about all the stationery you’ll need for the wedding day, such as:
-
Order of service booklets
-
Place cards
-
Table numbers
-
Menus
-
Signage BNC Creative Design & Print offers beautifully coordinated stationery to ensure a seamless look on your wedding day.
1-2 Months Before: Order Thank You Cards & Final Touches
If you’re planning to send thank-you cards after the wedding, it’s a good idea to order them now. You can also confirm any last-minute details for on-the-day stationery to ensure everything is ready to go.
After the Wedding: Send Your Thank You Cards
Your thank-you cards should ideally be sent within three months of the wedding. A heartfelt note of appreciation goes a long way in thanking guests for their presence and gifts.
