Now that you’ve decided who to invite, you need to send out the invitations. If you’re a DIY bride, don’t underestimate the time it will take to assemble and send them. This is a mistake made by many, and it causes stress and less-than-perfect bridal moments.

Invitations need to be send out at least seven or eight weeks before the wedding. This will give everyone time to request off work, plan, and respond. Remember, if you sent them a Save the Date, you need to invite them to the wedding! Etiquette first, ladies!
Invitations can be tricky because they’re usually one of the last things you do in the planning process. You need to know a time and place for your wedding. That doesn’t sound so hard does it? Let me explain:
When you decide on a time a place for your wedding, you need to make sure that all of you other vendors are available for that time. This includes your photographer, caterer, band or DJ, and videographer. You also have to make sure that the location and officiate are available too. Once they’re all on the same page about location, date, and time, then your invitations can be printed, stamped, and sent!
