How far in
advance should I order my invitations?
It is recommended that you order your
invitations three months prior to your wedding, so you have time to
address and label them. as well as have time to send the invitations
out, and get responses back in time.
When should I mail
my invitations?
Six weeks before your wedding is the
ideal time to send out the invitations, in case you have some family
members and other guests who may be late in responding
How long does it
take to place the order for my invitations?
When ordering your invitations it takes
approximately 1 hour to select your invitation and determine how you
want the invitation to appear. To save yourself time, simply have
all of your information at hand. This includes:
I can't think of
verse ideas. What should I put down?
If you need verse ideas, etiquette
guidelines, or addressing information a recommended website to visit is
www.verseit.com.
How many
invitations should I order?
Make sure to double check your guest
list. A common mistake is when couples try to order invitations
for each person on their guest list. Be sure to take into account
the number of households and guests that will come as couples. For
most couples the quantity ordered should be approximately half the
number of guest plus at least 25 extra. You don't want to have a
bunch left over, but you don't want to cut it too close either.
What is a "corner
copy"?
A corner copy is a little saying, on
either the bottom left or right hand side of the invitation, which
explains where and when the reception will take place. This can be
used in place of a reception card to save a little money.
How will I know
that my invitations will come in as ordered?
The place where you order your
invitations should ask you if you would like a proof of your invitation
before they place your order. If they do not ask, or they do not
have this service available, do not order through them because if there
is a problem with your invitations you will be recharged for having to
reprint the order. No one wants to spend more money than necessary
so check to make sure you can see a proof of your invitation before
continuing.
How long will it
take for my order to come in?
The average completion time for
invitations is 7 to 10 business days after approval of your proof.
What should I do
about programs? Do I need to order them?
Programs are not a necessity for your
wedding day. It depends on what is right for you. You could
order them through the place you ordered your invitations but they will
be expensive. Many office supply stores and Internet sites offer
paper with wedding designs, flowers, and other appropriate designs that
generally cost less. Many couples elect to print their own
programs, or enlist the services of a computer-savvy friend.
