Wedding Stationery Timeline

Spring is just around the corner, ripe and ready to burst with new beginnings, new life -- and new brides, bustling about as they plan their summer or fall wedding.

One fun and delicious piece of the wedding planning pie is wedding stationery. From Save the Dates and Invitations to Table Cards and Thank Yous, wedding stationery allows you to showcase your personal style and reflect your wedding theme. However, behind the design, the colors, the monogram, and the motif lie those important time-sensitive questions:

How far in advance should I send my Save the Dates?

When should I design, order and mail my Invitations?

How soon after the wedding should I write and send my Thank Yous?

If you’re having questions about the proper etiquette of when to send out your various wedding stationery items, don’t fret: MagnetStreet Weddings is here to help! We created a Wedding Stationery Timeline that clearly outlines when to prioritize your Save the Dates, Invitations, Reception Items and Thank Yous. In addition to the quick visual reference, the Wedding Stationery Timeline also includes detailed answers to your most common time-related wedding stationery questions.
