Give yourself plenty of time to create your invitations, address them and get them in the mail, so your guests have plenty of time to make arrangements. These useful tips will help you track your invitation-planning schedule:
• Decide how many people you want to invite to the wedding. Keep in mind that this is your day and if you want to invite only a handful of your nearest and dearest, then that’s what you should do. If you’d rather have a big bash, you’ll need to know the capacity of your venue, and have your budget numbers handy.
• Plan to have responses back within enough time to give your caterer a final count. Usually caterers ask for a final count about two weeks before the event.
• Visit the post office with a complete invitation package well in advance of your mailing in order to find out the postage required. This way, you won’t lose precious time by having all of your invitations returned to you due to insufficient postage.
• Order extra envelopes in case you or your calligrapher makes addressing mistakes.
• Save a full set for your keepsake album.

The Wrap on Invitations
When to Order Wedding Invitations
• Order your invitations four months ahead. If you’re planning a destination wedding in a place that requires flight and hotel travel arrangements, order them six months ahead, and give your guests more time to plan by sending a save-the-date card up to a year in advance.
When to Send Wedding Invitations
• Send your invitations six to eight weeks before the wedding. For destination weddings, send them out three months before the wedding.
