This timeline was put together by The Knot, plus some commentary by yours truly, Paper-Charmed. I hope you find this helpful in your wedding planning days.
Tasks | Just A Thought | |||
(as suggested by The Knot) | (by Paper-Charmed) | |||
9-11 months | Browse invitations to get an idea of what you like. Once you've got a rough guest list, date and a budget in mind, find your stationer. | Why not browse through our photo gallery of invitations here, then contact us at papercharmed@aol.com to schedule an appointment for a free consultation? | ||
Create a wedding website with your proposal story (and later all the details to keep guests in-the-know). | Have you checked these sites that offer free wedding websites? | |||
6-8 months | Order your save-the-dates and send them to your guests. | Wouldn't a custom-designed save-the-date cards, engagement party or shower invitations, portraits and announcements to match your wedding invitation be perfect? We can help. | ||
4-5 months | Time to order your invitations. You'll also want to order those inserts (like RSVP cards or rehearsal dinner invites). | Did you know we offer a variety of invitations in many colors? Each and every invitation is completely customizable and is as unique as the couple. | ||
2-3 months | Time to send out your invitations. If lots of guests are booking flights, at least 8 weeks notice is ideal. | Would you like us to coordinate the address labels with your invitations? We can. | ||
2 weeks | All RSVP cards should be back. | Don't forget to adhere stamps on the RSVP cards. It's only polite to do so. Consider postcard RSVP cards. It's a little more economical. In today's computer-driven society, sometimes RSVP's can be done online. |
Oh this is a great series. Thanks for the information.
