timeline
Typically invitations go out six weeks prior to the wedding.
My turnover time can be as quick as 24-48 hours if necessary. If there are no time issues, 1-2 weeks prior to your target mailing date is ideal.
making the list:
After you have finalized your guest list, it is time to gather the addresses. I have no problem working with spreadsheets or your print on notebook paper!
Here are some hints before you start...Please have the names on your list prepared EXACTLY as you would like them to look on your invitations…and instead of &,Street instead of St.,North Carolina instead of NC.
Also, if you are abiding by proper ettiquette...be sure that your outer addresses are formal…Mr. and Mrs. Francis X. Borkowski, etc.
The inner envelope is your less formal…Frank and Jen, Grandma and Grandpa, etc.
There are several sites with excellent etiquette guidelines. I will be happy to forward this information along to you.
