YOUR WEDDING STATIONERY TIMELINE

There’s a lot to organise when planning a wedding so I thought I’d put together a guide to walk you through the stationery timeline! For a free printable version with extra details and a checklist click here.

12 Months

If you are planning on working with a wedding stationery designer now is the perfect time to get in touch to book your date. This is especially important if you want to commission bespoke artwork such as a venue illustration or wedding map. I only take on 3 bespoke clients each month of the year to ensure I can provide an excellent service so it’s good to get in touch once you’ve booked your venue to secure the date!

10 Months

Now is the time to start looking at Save The Date cards and invitations and ordering samples. I’d always recommend ordering samples before placing your order to ensure that the printed product is just as beautiful as the online images.

8-9 Months

Send our your Save The Date cards! Don’t forget to factor shipping costs into your budget a small first class stamp is 72p and second class is 65p.

4-5 Months

Send our your wedding invitations! If you’re working with a stationer don’t forget there could be a few rounds of revisions to ensure everything is perfect before the invitations are printed.

2-3 Months

Order any on the day stationery you need such as; orders of service, signage, seating plans, table numbers, place name cards, menus. This is also a good time to review your RSVPs and send out any second wave invitations.

After the big day

Send out your thank you cards!
