Frequently Asked Questions
How do you determine the number of wedding invitations?
Count households, not individual guests. A couple living together gets one invitation. Add 10% extra for mistakes, plus a few for keepsakes and vendors.
When should wedding invitations be sent?
Mail invitations 6-8 weeks before the wedding. Destination weddings should send 8-12 weeks in advance. Save-the-dates go out 6-8 months early.
What should be included in a wedding invitation suite?
A full suite includes the invitation, RSVP card with envelope, details/reception card, and outer and inner envelopes. Some add maps, accommodation cards, or meal choice cards.
