Wedding Invitation Etiquette For a Spring Wedding

Have you ordered your wedding invitations yet?

The sky may be gray and heavy with the prospects of snow, but everything seems a little warmer if you’re planning a spring wedding! You’ve picked out the dress, or tux, and sent out the “save the dates” but have you prepared the invitations? Allow Time Printers to act as your own personal wedding (invitation) planner. We’ll sit down with you, listen to your desires, then design a custom invitation that will reflect your special day in a way that is unique to you and your partner. Winter may be in full effect here in Maryland, but it’s never too early to start daydreaming about warmer days.

 

WHEN SHOULD I SEND MY INVITATIONS?

 

Chances are you’ve already sent your “save the dates” since your big day is only a few months away. When it comes to the formal invitations, it’s custom to send them to your guests six to eight weeks before the wedding. If it’s a destination wedding, then you need to allow for more time so guests can plan for travel.

 

WHEN SHOULD WE EXPECT RSVPS?

 

Time Printers will ensure that your invitation includes a deadline for RSVPs. This gives you enough time to plan the seating chart, and gives guests an extra push to mail them back to you as soon as possible. You should expect to have all RSVPs two weeks prior to the wedding date.

 

HOW CAN WE INFORM GUESTS ABOUT THE DRESS CODE?

 

There are elegant ways to include the dress code into the invitation so that it flows with the theme. A Time Printers designer will work with you to decide which style best suits your fancy. Typically, the dress code such as “black tie” is included in the bottom corner of the invitation.

 

SHOULD EVERY GUEST BE GIVEN A PLUS ONE?

 

This is entirely up to you! It’s not in bad taste to allow some guests to bring a date and not allow for others. Your guests understand that this is your big day, and the amount of people needs to be controlled to plan for every other aspect of the wedding.
