And now ... a little ordering and mailing review for you!
It is recommended to order your announcement papery {save the dates, invitations, announcements} 2 months prior to your desired mailing date.
Ceremony & reception papery {programs, menus, escort cards, table cards, favor tags, decor items, etc.} if not ordered at the same time as your announcement papery {recommended} should be ordered 4 weeks prior to the big day. At the 4 week mark you should have your replies back and a firm guest count so as to not over -or- under order your day of papery.
When do I mail my wedding announcement papery, you ask??
