We receive many questions. 
We have created our Frequently Asked Question (FAQ ) pages to help you answer invitation and etiquette questions that are bound to come up.

"When should I order my invitations?"

You should order your invitations at least four months before your wedding to allow plenty of time for printing, possible delays or errors, shipping, assembling, addressing, and mailing.

"When should my invitations be mailed out?"

Your invitations should be sent out four to eight weeks before your wedding.  Four to six weeks is customary for local guests.  Six to eight weeks is standard for out-of-town guests or for wedding dates during a holiday period.  For international mailings, however, ten weeks is recommended.

  "What is a save-the-date card?"

When a wedding is planned during a holiday or summer season, a couple may choose to send save-the-date cards in advance of their wedding to advise family and friends of their wedding plans, therefore allowing guests to take the couple's wedding date into consideration when making their own plans.  Save-the-date cards are also used when a number of overseas guests are invited, and when a wedding is held in a resort area, to facilitate the guests' ease of making travel and accommodation arrangements.

"How much postage will my wedding invitations require?"

The invitation's size, the number of enclosure cards, and even the humidity affect the postage.  To determine the correct postage, you should have your invitation, with all enclosures (including the stamp on the response envelope), weighed at the post office from which they will be sent.

"What date should be listed on the response card?"

Brides-to-be should request their responses three weeks before the wedding in order to receive the response cards and tally the number of expected guests by two weeks before the wedding.

"When should my rehearsal dinner invitations be sent?"

Rehearsal dinner invitations are sent out two weeks before the wedding. 

"How much time can a bride take to write thank you notes?"

Many brides mistakenly assume that they have a year to acknowledge  gifts.  In truth, gifts received before the wedding should be recognized within two weeks, while gifts received after the wedding should be recognized within two months.

"How much should I expect to spend on my wedding invitations?"

Costs will vary as they are determined by the quality of
the invitation, the type of paper(s), the printing
technique used, the number of enclosures and the quantity ordered.
