Question
How far in advance should I order printed invitations?
Answer
How early you order depends on the event. Weddings need the longest runway because of mailing and RSVP windows, while other celebrations can move on a shorter timeline. Working backward from the event date is the easiest way to plan.
| Event | Order lead time |
|---|---|
| Wedding | 8 to 10 weeks before the event |
| Other events | 3 to 4 weeks before the event |
- Weddings: allow time to mail and collect RSVPs.
- Save-the-dates: send those even earlier, well before the invitations.
- Buffer: add a few days for proofing and addressing.
