How soon should I send out my wedding invitations?
This is a question people frequently ask. Wedding invitations should be ordered about 3-4 months before the wedding. Why so soon? Because you want to allow enough time to make your selection, order samples (if purchasing online), and processing time. Mail in orders can sometimes take up to a few weeks to process and ship. Online orders typically take around 4-5 business days to print.
You need to take the time to and send out all your invitations to all your friends/family and give them time to respond with how many persons in their party will be attending. This is why invitations should ideally be sent out 4-8 weeks before the date of the wedding. Thank you notes for wedding and bridal shower gifts should be sent out as soon as possible after you receive your gifts.
