Tips & Warnings
Keep in mind that larger, heavier invitations will cost you more in postage.
Order your invitations six months before your wedding date. You need enough time to check them over, assemble them and get them to the post office.
Order at least 20 extra invitations in case there are mistakes when you're addressing them.
Look over the invitations closely when they arrive. Check all spellings and wedding details.
