Your wedding invitation is the first impression your guests will have of your big day. Whether you go for traditional print or a modern e-invite, a thoughtful design makes all the difference. 

1. When Should You Send Invitations?

• Local weddings: Send out 2–3 months in advance

• Destination weddings / guests needing travel arrangements: Send 4–6 months ahead

• Save the Date: 6–9 months in advance is ideal, especially with international guests

2. Invitation Style Inspiration

Let your wedding style guide your stationery! The more consistent, the more polished it feels.

• Minimalist Modern: Clean lines, serif fonts, lots of white space

• Romantic French: Handwritten-style script, floral illustrations

• Traditional Chinese: Red-gold palette, rice paper textures, calligraphy

Once the style is defined, other paper goods like menus and name cards will fall into place more easily.

3. RSVP Tips

• Set a clear RSVP deadline and allow at least one week for follow-up

• If using an RSVP site (Zola, Joy, etc.), test the link beforehand and help older guests navigate it if needed
