When, Who, What and Wording: Wedding Invitation Etiquette
A question that many brides ask us is what are the rules of wedding invitation etiquette. Knowing what to send, when to send it and what the wording should be for each wedding invitation piece can be a little daunting. To help any slightly confused brides out there, here are a few simple rules on wedding invitation etiquette.
The first rule of wedding invitations is to remember to order them well in advance. Typically brides begin their search at least six months before their marriage date. This way you never have to feel rushed, and you can take your time to custom design the affordable letterpress wedding invitation that you have always dreamed of.
While you are searching, make sure to ask your favorite printers if they are offering specials or package deals on affordable letterpress wedding invitation designs.
When thinking about how to word your wedding invitations, consider the event that you are planning. The basic etiquette for wedding invitation wording requires that you match the theme of your wedding invitation wording to the theme of your wedding. If your wedding is going to be a very traditional or religious ceremony, your wedding invitation wording style should reflect this. Likewise if you are planning a beach themed wedding ceremony, your wedding invitation wording can have a lot more flexibility.

Remember to send out your wedding invitations at least six weeks before the event, though it is suggested that you give your guests at least eight weeks. If you are planning a destination themed wedding, give your guests even more time (another four weeks at the very least) to schedule their accommodations and travel details.
