Timeline of when to order your stationery

1 year to go

Start by gathering as much inspiration as you can, and what theme/style you wish to go for. It could be related to the time of year, location, personal interests, the choice is endless. Inspiration can come from anywhere and it’s what makes your day personal to you.

6 – 12 months to go

It’s important to let guests know your date as soon as possible so they don’t go making alternative plans.
Around this timescale is the perfect time to send out save the dates. We currently offer A6 postcards, however these can be customised to a range of formats as part of our bespoke service.

6 – 8 months to go

Time to get your wedding invitations finalised. Generally these may follow on from your overall theme/style or the design of your save the dates. Your invites will be an opportunity to finalise the small details as well as useful information for your guests. Local hotels, transport details and maps amongst other useful items you wish to add. Our invite bundle and concertina invites offer an all inclusive invitation option that includes guest information and RSVP.
