Timing is essential! You don't want to send out your wedding invitations too early, but also not too late. On average, couples choose to send them out between 12 to 16 weeks before the big day. This allows guests plenty of time to respond and make arrangements. If you’re planning a destination wedding or hosting during peak holiday periods, consider sending invitations over three months in advance, with save-the-date cards going out as early as a year before.

While customs and traditions may have changed over the years, some details remain an overall must to include. Here are some essentials you cannot forget:

• Your names
• Location, date, and the hour of commencement
• A specific dress code if relevant
• Details on how to RSVP
• A subtle hint to a gift suggestion

From cheap wedding invitations to high-end custom invitation suites, costs can vary dramatically. Invitations on a budget are ideal for those looking to save. For example, you can use one of our beautiful designs and personalise them.

With mid-range options, you can make your own wedding invitations using our handy editor and pair them with some shiny envelopes. At the higher end of the scale, luxury designs may feature premium finishes like gold foil, embossing, or a folded wedding invitation layout that adds an extra layer of elegance. Although your wedding invitations are a big part of the wedding, the cost should stay relatively small—around 1–3% of your overall budget.

When you order your invitations, you'll be happy to know that we offer free matching white envelopes with most of our cards. This thoughtful extra ensures you won’t have to worry about additional costs or sourcing matching envelopes elsewhere. Great when you're working around a tighter budget! If you're after something more luxurious, you can opt for coloured or sparkling envelopes for a complete look.

Our wedding designs are made to match your wedding theme. Be it rustic, vintage, modern, or full-on glamorous. You can embellish your invitations with luxurious touches like shimmering gold foil, elegant floral patterns, or tasteful monograms, creating a custom invitation that’s as unique as your love story.
