Wedding Invitation Assembly FAQ
Ready to start putting your invitations together but not quite sure where to start? We’ve got you covered with helpful answers to your questions when it comes to stationery assembly.
How do I assemble my Wedding Invitations?
To properly gather together your wedding invitations for mailing, place each item face-up in order from largest to smallest and the invitation on the bottom. Follow that with the enclosure cards and response cards.
How do I use a belly band?
After assembling your stationery, place your belly bands face-up on the pile, then wrap the ends together, so they meet behind the cards. To secure these together we suggest using double-sided tape.
What are my options for addressing envelopes?
When addressing your invitation we suggest the following options:
- Printed envelopes: We've got you covered. Check it out.
- Handwritten envelopes: If you don't have the best penmanship don't be afraid to ask your friends or family for help. Be sure to use a high-quality rollerball pen in black or a coordinating ink color matching your invitations.
- Hire a Calligrapher: It's a good idea to provide your calligrapher envelopes (including a few extra) and guest addresses 2-3 weeks before your mail-out date.
When should we mail our wedding invitations?
For local weddings, invitations should be mailed 8-10 weeks before your wedding. For destination weddings, aim to send them out earlier, about 12 weeks in advance.
How much postage do I need for my invitations?
We recommend fully assembling an invitation and taking this to your local post office for most accurate pricing.
