Wedding Invitation Ordering Tips

When ordering, ensure that you have all information to give your supplier, this includes wedding details, addresses, maps, etc.

Make sure that you have an idea of how many invitations you need to order. Order approximately 15-25 more than this to allow for regrets and writing errors. Remember, you don’t need an invitation for each guest, normally an invitation is sent out per household (a separate invitation to children in the same household but over 18 years old).

If having themed invitations, have a look at the other wedding stationery offered and combine menus, favours, order of service and table plans.

Some Wedding Invitations are cheaper with the more you buy, so do your maths and see which price would benefit you more. Some suppliers offer free postage if you order a certain amount.
