When
should I send out Invites?
Wedding Invitations should be mailed out so that your guests will receive them at least eight weeks prior to your wedding. This will allow your guests enough time to make travel plans and return the RSVP card you included with your wedding invitation. Typically the respond by date should be six weeks prior to your wedding date. This should allow you enough time to make your final detailed preparations.

Once the designs and details are finalised we will produce a proof of the wedding stationery for your approval.

In our experience, the whole procedure from your initial enquiry with Paperchain to receiving your finished wedding stationery usually takes around 6 weeks. However these time scales vary from client to client and can be reduced significantly.
Is it acceptable to include my wedding gift details in the wedding invitation?
In our experience we have found that more and more people prefer to include wedding gift details within their invitations, giving their guest all of the information they need at one time.
What information should we be giving our guests with the wedding invitation?
It is your wedding day and your wedding invitation, and today it is much more acceptable to include everything your guests need to know about your big day. This can be directions to wedding venue and reception, details of overnight accommodation and wedding gift details etc. |
