Wedding stationery requires careful timeline planning to ensure guests receive proper notice for your big day. Timing varies significantly between local and destination weddings, with the latter requiring much earlier communication for travel planning.

• Start collecting addresses and finalizing guest lists 12-14 months before wedding
• Send save-the-dates 6-8 months before local weddings, 8-12 months for destination weddings
• Include wedding website link on save-the-dates for travel and accommodation information
• Order invitations 6-9 months before wedding, allowing time for proofing and delivery
• Confirm ceremony and reception times before printing invitations
• Send invitations 3-4 months before local weddings, 6+ months for destination weddings
• Consider local events and holiday weekends that might affect travel and accommodation
• Set RSVP deadline based on venue and vendor requirements (typically 30 days before wedding)
• Zola offers a free, user-friendly website for handling online RSVPs
