What You Need To Know

⸺ WHEN TO MAIL YOUR INVITATIONS

  • Save the dates should be mailed out 6-8 months before your wedding date or earlier for destination weddings.

  • Wedding invitations should be mailed out 3-4 months before your wedding date or earlier if it is a destination wedding.

  • Set your RSVP by date for your guests at least 3-4 weeks before your wedding date.

⸺ TIMELINE

Timeline for projects will vary depending on quantity, printing method, revisions and the amount of time it takes for the final proof to be approved. We cannot start production/printing without this final approval. You can visit our print + style guide for average turnaround times pertaining to each print method. Turnaround time for production/printing starts after the final proof is approved. Once production and printing have been completed, items will then be packaged and ready to ship out.

⸺ CUSTOMIZATIONS

All designs are printed on 222# matte paper stock or white, 100% cotton paper stock (double thick). Our paper stocks are sourced from fine European paper mills which have a natural aesthetic and a unique feel to it. Cotton paper is specialty paper that's made from the delicate fibers of cotton, rather than from a tree. Our wedding suites are ready-made designs and are printed as is and is not customizable except for wording information, print method(s), and envelope color(s).

⸺ HOW MANY TO ORDER

We recommend ordering an additional 10-25 pieces to account for any additional guests that may be added to the guest list or any keepsakes that family members may want. Please note that the quantity of invitations will differ from your guest count as there may be multiple guest in one household.
