invitations

When are ya'll getting your invitations? Do you know what you want? Once you get them, when do you plan on mailing them out?
I designed ours and FI hasn't seem them yet, but I must say, they look awesome!! I'm so excited I'm debating on getting them pinteed as soon as FI gives me his opinion. I will still have some work to do on them once I get them, but... we are still over 7 months out so, they will be sitting around a bit once everything is done.

I'm waiting until January or February to order mine from eInvite.com. Sending them out between April 6th and 13th (approximately 8 weeks prior to my June 8th wedding date).

are you printing them or ordering them from someone who is printing them (like weddngpaperdivas)? I was just wondering what the work was that you have to do on them. If it was me I would worry if something changed for some reason, like the time line. But I would also worry if I found something I loved that it would be discontinued when I went to get it because that is the kind of luck I have.

I am using dulce press for my invites and I am in love with mine too. She said we should meet in late January but her turnaround time is only 3 weeks. I still haven't figured out exactly when I am sending them. I need to look over my hotel block agreement again so I give people plenty of time. But I will probably send them about 8 to 10 weeks before.

I'd love to see yours when you are all done with them so please post a pic!

Most likely getting ours off etsy. I plan on getting them after our details meeting with our coordinator after the six month mark and sending them early. I need to make sure they get out prior to April since our hotel block gets released April 16th and I want to make sure everyone gets one last heads up before they're left high and dry without a place to stay.

I will probably order mine early next year, like Jan or Feb, when I know my timeline for sure and won't be changing anything. I also worry if I order them too early something will change and I'll be stuck. I plan to send mine about 8-10 weeks before my wedding, and I would like to have 2-3 weeks until my wedding for the RSVP. I think anyway, I could change my mind about all of this (hence not getting them yet, lol)

I'm not sure when we're ordering ours I need to talk about it with FI. We're going to be sending them out in late February or early March, because our RSVP date is going to be sometime in April, because I don't want to be hounding people really late around the time of finals (in May). Below are the invitations that I think we're going to order. FI has already seen them and I really think these are the ones we're going to go with unless something better comes out in January. Our print shop guy said that he'll be getting stuff in January for us to look at, and if we see anything better then it is what it is.

Probably in January or February (close to when our tax returns come back). I've got the design done already, just need to put the finishing touches on it and then I'll just have to send it off to the printer we're using.

Not sure when we are ordering ours yet, but we plan on sending them in early April and giving an early May RSVP date. Our wedding is on the 9th and the venue needs a final head count 2 weeks prior, so I'm thinking a month out RSVP date will give us enough time to reach out to all those who forgot to send in their replies.

I'm pretty sure we're going to be purchasing a template from Etsy and printing them ourselves. We'll probably be ordering them in February because I want to get them printed and mounted on cardstock well before they need to be sent out. I'm hoping to have them in the mail around the 3rd week of April, with an RSVP date sometime during the first week of June (wedding is the 22nd).

sopraffina · October 2012

I'm ordering ours in December because my weddingpaperdivas coupon expires 12/31. We'll probably send them out 8 weeks ahead of time. My sister sent hers late and had a lot of declines.

rmp4996 · October 2012

Soppra, did your sister send save the dates?

Essentially, they are baseball tickets. I am so excited!! I have to perforate the RSVP tabs on the bottom of the ticket. I also may have to find speciallty envelopes for them, that may take some work. We are thinking of having an RSVP date of May 4, since the wedding is June 1. I honestly, don't plan on bugging anyone. If they haven't RSVPed by May 4, then they aren't coming. I know that slounds harsh but the people who mean the most to me will be there (my kids and FI). Everyone else is just extra,
I designed them and found a website that will print any picture on a ticket, so I converted them to a jpeg file and they looked so good. I can get 100 for $32!!

I plan to DIY ours. I think we'll need about 15 or 20. I'll probably get started on them sometime in March just to make sure I like them and have plenty of time to assemble them. Until then, I'm just gathering ideas.
