Wedding Invitation Etiquette: A Comprehensive Guide

There are several important guidelines to keep in mind to ensure a smooth and respectful process when considering wedding invitation etiquette. 

Send out invitations six to eight weeks before the big day - this will allow guests enough time to make any necessary travel arrangements.

Address the envelopes correctly with titles and full names, and be clear about who is invited by listing the specific names on the invitation.

Include important details such as the date, time, and location of the wedding ceremony and reception, as well as any dress code if applicable. RSVP information should be clearly provided, whether it's a separate card, email address, or phone number. Keep the wording of the invitations clear and concise. And don't forget to proofread!

When it comes to choosing your wedding invitations, remember that this is your opportunity to set the tone for your special day. Pick a design that reflects your personal style and the theme of your wedding. Whether you prefer classic elegance, modern simplicity, or whimsical charm, there are countless options to suit your taste.

Consider customizing your invitations with unique touches such as embossing, pearl or foil accents, or custom illustrations to make them truly stand out.

Don’t underestimate the impact of a beautiful presentation!

Consider using elegant envelopes, seal them with a wax stamp, or add a decorative liner for an extra touch of sophistication and personality.

We recommend ordering a few extra invitations in case of last-minute additions as well as an extra set of your stationery for flat lay photos.
