16.
How long before the occasion should the invitations
be sent out?
We
recommend that for a Wedding or Ceremony, your invitations
should be sent out to your guests at least 8-12 weeks before
your big day. This allows time for your guests to reply
and for you to organise the day’s proceedings, reception,
hotel arrangements, flights etc.
For
Celebration parties and other Special Occasions, it would
be left to the individual person organising the event to
decide how much notice they require to send out the party
invitations.

Remember our ‘Save this Date’ Tags are a wonderful way to
ask your family and friends to keep this very special date
free for your ‘BIG DAY’ before sending out your invitations
17.
When should I place my order?
We
recommend that for Weddings or Ceremonies/ that you place
your order a minimum of 18 weeks before the date. Allowing
6 weeks for your order to be produced and 12 weeks for you
to complete and despatch your invitations
Ideally
we like at least 6 weeks to actually produce your hand made
invitations, but of course, if you require delivery sooner
than this, we will pull out all the stops to try and accommodate
you.
