Q: Is it okay to put my gift registry information in my wedding invitation?
We don’t recommend it. We know you are excited to open all those wedding presents, but subtlety and decorum are a winning combination when it comes to getting the word out about your registry. So please, don’t mention your gift registry on your invitation. Instead, put a note about it on your wedding website. Good old-fashioned word of mouth works just fine too.
Happy Planning!

We often get asked “When should we start our invitations?”
Well, the short answer is that it’s proper etiquette to mail your wedding invitations 6-8 weeks before your big day. Couples having destination weddings or inviting a large number of guests from abroad might want to build in even more time.
And working backwards, there needs to be enough time to design and print them, assemble and address them (or send to your calligrapher) and then give your vendors an accurate head count as your guests RSVP.
Given all this, we recommend ordering your wedding invitations 4 months before the big day in order for the process to be as stress-free as possible.
Ready to get started? You can begin by ordering samples of your favorite designs or by coming in for a free consultation. Starting the process with plenty of time is the key to a fun and easy invitation experience.
Happy Planning!
Read MoreWe often get asked if forgoing the traditional reply card and instead opting to gather RSVPs through a wedding website is socially acceptable. We say, sure! This can be a great way to reduce the cost of your wedding invitation package as well as eliminate paper waste. Just use your own judgment and be sure to consider the age and technical comfort of your particular guest list. For some, an online RSVP will be easier than paper. But don’t forget your older guests (like Grandma and Grandpa) who might prefer a more traditional method. The bottom line is that it’s your wedding! And these days, really anything goes in the invitation world so have fun and get creative!
