Invitations?

Jessie42613 · August 2012

Hey girls!

When do you all plan on getting your invitations?

allychase · August 2012

I am kind of making mine and wanted to use the summer of free time to just get them done cause its a pretty big DIY. So far we've ordered the actual invitation and have the middle card stock printed out with all of the info on it. I went through and stamped our custom monogram on every single one. Now we're just waiting for FMIL to sew the lace on the outside of the invitations and assemble each one with the card stock and insert cards but weve still got plentyyyy of time

I designed mine myself. Dd goes back to school at the end of the month so I'll have 7 hours every day to work on stuff. I'll work on getting printing quotes then. I've already ordered the envelopes and everything we need to assemble them. I just need the actual invite and enclosures to be printed. We're doing wraparounds to address the invites and I've already started on the ones that I know won't be moving any time soon.

Since we're doing a destination wedding, our invites will probably go out at the end of January - about 12 weeks before the wedding. I feel like I'm running out of time, even though I know there's plenty of time left.

We're probably going to order our materials around November or so. I want to get the addresses printed on them and most of our friends rent so I want to make sure no one is moving. I'll probably start designing them soon.

We are meeting with the designer this week and hope to order them by the end of october/november.

I have to do mine somewhat early since I bought that Vistaprint groupon ($17 for $70 worth of products). So within the next month

orangehills · August 2012

I already did mine on 123 Print. I have them at home! Not sending them out till Feb. 1 though. This means nothing can change, because it's already on paper! That's the hope..

Not sure when we'll do ours, but they won't be super fancy (possibly vistaprint) so we're in no rush. Likely Nov/Dec kind of time.

<div>My friend ordered her invitations from vistaprint and she wasn't charged duty on them (shipped from Windsor), make sure you are on Canadian site. Order a wedding sample pack from vistaprint (it's free!) and you can see the different finishing and paper styles. I have heard that to order from Cards and Pockets duty and shipping is quite high to Canada.</div><div>

</div><div>I will be working an invitation designer for my invites, she has done some mock ups and she uses the "envelopments" brand. I probably won't order until end of this year early next year. I am doing STD's so I won't be sending invites out until 8 weeks before.</div>

GinaV0822 · August 2012

We just decided on our last week. I think we'll order them soon so that we can get them stuffed and addressed early enough so we're not rushing at the last minute. Time is gonna fly!

Jessie42613 · August 2012

<div>Awesome, this is really helpful. I have an appointment to meet with a designer in 2 weeks, so it's nice to know I'm on track with everyone else. </div><div>

<div>May I ask who you're working with? We're in CT too.</div>

Blondy214 · August 2012

We're going to try to order them by October. I pretty much have them picked out and everything. We just need to figure out a final count on how many we need. But I'm a little early, since school started back up this week I'm going to be pretty busy until December. I figured better early than late!

daveandjanet · August 2012

Just finished making my invites (designed, cut and assembled by me).

But I'm not sending them out for another few months. I think it depends on whether you're doing them or having them printed, and if you've got other DIY projects. I had to get mine done early because I'm doing everything except sewing my dress, cooking and baking the cake.

Jessie42613 · August 2012

Oh no, I am not at all a DIY girl and I've never made an invitation before in my life so I sure as heck am not going to have my wedding invitations as my first attempt

I'm going pro all the way!

mabapunta · August 2012

Many of our guests will have to travel for the wedding, so we are making sure to send out Save The Dates in the next month or so, and will only send them to the Must Have people. Invitations I think I'll send them out in the new year - January or something. Maybe I'll find a great deal on invites before then! Not sure where we're getting them. FI likes the idea of everything matching - StDs, invites, Thank You notes, etc. We'll see...

shipsinthenight · August 2012

We have ours already, I just have to finish water coloring them...Still need to order our StDs though...

rachelm13 · August 2012

I am ordering them the first week in Oct. I used magnetstreet for the STDs and the matching invitations look awesome, so we're doing that. Sending them out middle to end of January. Gives me plenty of time in case there is a problem with the invitations or what not. I just hate not allowing for Eff Ups.

tosha9266 · September 2012

i got mine on wedding paper diva's and they did a wonderful job a little pricey but im pretty proud of them, when is everyone sending them out? i sent out the save the dates last week

lillyocean · January 2013

My wedding is May 26, 2013. I would really like to send the invitations out by no later than March 1, and I'm even thinking of the last week in February. Reason is because our venue is a historic house and I really need to know the layout of my guest tables as soon as possible since there is limited space so I either need to plan them partially indoors and on the veranda or all outdoors and the tent rental size also depends on the amount of guests. My centerpieces are these beautiful mercury glass vases but I have to search like 6 different stores in 3 different cities to find them, so all these decisions depend on how many guests we have, hence how many tables.... so does anyone think sending invites 13-14 weeks in advance is too early? Giving them 3 weeks to respond?
