Question
When do most couples order their wedding stationery?
Answer
Wedding stationery tends to follow a predictable timeline, so ordering in the right window keeps guests informed without rushing your design or proofing.
| Piece | Typical ordering window |
|---|---|
| Save the dates | around 6 to 8 months before the wedding |
| Formal invitations | about 3 to 4 months before |
| Day-of pieces (programs, menus, place cards) | roughly 4 to 6 weeks before |
Couples who get engaged over the holidays often begin ordering early in the new year. Giving yourself a little extra lead time leaves room for proofing and collecting addresses.
