When Should I Start Assembling My Wedding Invitations?
My invitations for my wedding just came in today! My wedding is in 4 months and 17 days. We are going to send them out one month before the wedding, so people can get time off and such. When would be a good time to start stuffing my evelopes. I have the invite, a map, and the ceremony invite. I want to know when I should start assembling the invites, and addressing them?

No time like the present. Addressing them could take awhile since you probably don’t want to do a ton in one sitting, that way your handwriting stays fresh. My invites took a lot longer than I thought so I wish I would have started early. Might as well get something done you can cross off your list.
I was the nervous, control freak bride, so I did mine 2 months before the wedding. Then they were done and I could relax somewhat.
But if you do that, make sure they aren’t sealed or around anything with moist, humid air or the glue won’t stick and where ever you put them in your house, you can actually locate them when you want to send them.(personal experience)
Anyway, addressing them also takes some time also, so you may have to factor that in also.
Hope this helps!
I had the same questions, so I started reading about wedding invitations. I found three websites that have lots of unique bridal shower invitations and personalized wedding shower invitations at:
http://www.cardsshoppe.com/bridal-shower-invitations/
http://www.express-invitations.com/bridal-shower-invitations/
http://www.announcements-shoppe.com/bridal-shower-invitations-announcements-cards/productslist-12-1.htm
I have ordered from all three sites for different occasions and been very pleased. Take and look and see what you think.
ASAP, since you can do them now- get it done, so you don’t stress about it later and crunch for time. Don’t worry about it, but when you have time, do it.
Id recommend sending them out 6-8 weeks before the wedding…Start stuffing now and put them up so you can address them and send them out when the time is right.
I would say that you should start assembling your wedding invitations a month before the wedding. That will give your guest enough time to mail you back the response cards.
send them now! between 2- 6 months is the norm
congrats!
One month before the wedding isn’t very long … I always thought you send them out about four months before. That’s what I’m doing.
start now that is what i did and send them out 2 months before and them the month before send a reminder ..congrates
6wks before wedding.
