Wedding is 9/1, I asked for responses back by 8/15.  I'm sure there will be a few stragglers, so I'm shooting to have all responses back by 8/20.  That gives me a little under 2 weeks to order place cards.  I don't why this just hit my all of a sudden.  Sould I order them all ahead of time and trash the one's I dont need?  Is 12 days enough?

    We're getting ones we can print ourselves for exactly this reason so that might be worth looking into. Or a local calligrapher.

    But mostly I wanted to say that your Boston in adorable :)

    Yours too!  We LOVE our Bostons, great dogs!

    Thanks for the advice, I'll probably do one's I can print on my own.

    I worked at a stationery shop doing wedding invites and such, and two weeks was about our timeframe for getting place card information. It does not take that long to print those, so as long as you've picked out what style you want so they can order stock, then getting the cards printed should not take long at all. Some people gave us their last few place cards the day before the wedding and we got it done. Different stores have different policies, but stationers understand that you simply don't have place card information until closer to the date. I'd talk to your stationer about this before settling on DIY.

    Me and my guy have one, my sister and BIL have one, and my parents have one.  They are weird, neurotic little dogs but we love them nonetheless.
