While we see many of our wedding stationery clients wed here in Indianapolis, occasionally we ship out our paperie to clients getting married abroad! Destination wedding stationery is SO fun!

 

Besty and Elliott wed amidst the breathtaking backdrop of Newtown Castle in Ireland, withhelp from the ladies from Boldly Chic Events during all of the wedding week events. The couple's greenery wedding invitations were a great segway into the greenery backdrop of their Ireland wedding. For their wedding events, we then created matching ceremony programs, menus, seating cards, welcome bag itinerary cards, and miscellaneous signs to display throughout the week.

 

Here are the beautiful recap photos from [K] Photography!

Staying on track during the wedding planning process is KEY! No bride wants to be tying up loose ends during the weeks leading up to wedding day.

 

One of the first items we provide clients for their wedding stationery is a proposed timeline. It looks a little something like this...

 

These beauties can be ordered between 4-12 months before the big day. If you're planning to do a custom design, be sure to add on about 6-8 additional weeks to your timeline, to allow ample time for designing and production.

 

The biggest element of your stationery order! If you're working with a designer for custom invitations, we recommend beginning the design process 4-5 months before you'd like these in-hand. Once you've completed the proofing process and submitted your order, production tends to take anywhere from 4-8 weeks (depending on the intricacy of your wedding invites).

 

For some reason, there are blogs and websites that try to talk you into mailing these out WAY too early. They're wrong! These should be mailing 6-8 before your big day. If you're planning a destination wedding (100% of your wedding guests are traveling), then this can be increased to 10 weeks. (Anything mailed sooner than that should only be a save-the-date!)

 

As soon as you've mailed out the invites, it's the perfect time to switch gears and start planning for your wedding programs, seating cards, table numbers, and all other wedding day paper elements. Be sure to complete the proofing process and place your order no later than 6 weeks before the big day. (Seating card details should be submitted about 2 weeks before wedding day.)

We tend to prefer hand-delivery of wedding day items to our clients local to Indianapolis. However, for our remote clients, we recommend Overnight or 2nd Day Air shipping - just to ensure everything arrives in ample time!
