Frequently Asked Questions

When should I mail my wedding invitations? 

Wedding invitations are typically sent out six to eight weeks before the wedding date. For destination weddings or if many guests will be traveling, it's a good idea to send them out three months in advance to give guests ample time to make travel arrangements.

What should formal wedding invitations say? 

Include the names of the couple, the wedding date, time, and location, as well as any additional information like dress code or RSVP details. You can also include a wedding website for more details. Follow our guide wedding invitation wording so you can feel secure before sending them to your guestlist.

Can I include registry information on my wedding invitations?

Traditionally, registry details are not included directly on invitations. Instead, it's best to list your wedding website on an enclosure card, where guests can find more information including registry links, travel info, and accommodation suggestions.

Do I need to include RSVP cards with my invitations?

Including RSVP cards with your invites is a great way to ensure you receive responses in a timely manner. Alternatively, you can request guests to RSVP online through your wedding website. Having an RSVP system helps you finalize your guest count, which is essential for catering and seating arrangements.

How many wedding invitations should I order?

When you order wedding invitations online, remember that you typically need one invitation per household, not per guest. It's a good idea to order 10-15% more than your guest list to account for any last-minute additions or to keep as mementos. This extra buffer also ensures you have spare invites in case of any addressing mistakes.

What's the difference between save the dates and wedding invitations?

Save the dates let your guests know the date and location of your wedding well in advance, giving them time to plan. Invitations, sent closer to the event, include detailed information like the time, venue, and RSVP instructions. For more details, check out our guide on Save the Dates vs Invitations.

How do I address wedding invitations correctly?

Proper etiquette depends on your guests’ titles and relationship to you. Use full names and formal titles (Mr., Mrs., Dr., etc.) for traditional invites. If you’re unsure, our guide on How to Address Wedding Invitations can help you format them correctly.
