It’s a New Year — and Time to Get Serious About Your 2026 Wedding Plans!

If you got engaged over the holidays, congratulations! The start of a new year always brings fresh energy, and there’s no better time to dive into wedding planning. Even if your 2026 wedding feels far away, now is the time to start securing your dream team of vendors and mapping out your timeline. Here’s a helpful planning checklist to guide you through the early stages.

1. Start with Your Venue and Date

Your venue determines everything — from your wedding date and guest capacity to your overall design style. Once your venue and date are officially booked, you can confidently move forward with the rest of your vendor team.

2. Book Your Core Vendors Early

After securing your venue, your next step is to lock in the creative professionals who will bring your wedding vision to life. These vendors typically book a year (or more!) in advance, so don’t wait too long.

Here’s who to prioritize next:

Planner or Coordinator – Whether you’re hiring full-service planning or month-of coordination, a great planner helps you stay organized and stress-free.
Photographer & Videographer – Your images are one of the few tangible keepsakes from your day. Book early to ensure your favorite artist is available.
Florist – Florals can completely transform a space and define your wedding’s aesthetic.
Caterer – If your venue doesn’t include in-house catering, you’ll want to secure one early to guarantee availability.
DJ or Band – Entertainment plays a major role in your reception’s energy. Many top bands and DJs are booked 12–18 months out.
Stationer – (Hi, that’s where Interprintations comes in!) Your stationery sets the tone for your wedding long before guests arrive. A professional stationer can help you design a cohesive look that flows from your save-the-dates to your invitations, menus, signage, and beyond.

3. Send Save-the-Dates (8–12 Months Before)

Once you’ve finalized your guest list and wedding date, it’s time to announce it!
Your save-the-dates should be mailed 8–12 months before your wedding, giving guests plenty of time to make travel plans — especially for destination or summer weddings.

4. Mail Invitations (Around 3 Months Before)

Your formal invitations should be mailed about 3 months before the wedding. This gives your guests enough time to respond and make arrangements, and allows you to enjoy the process without feeling rushed.

(Bonus tip: if you’re working with Interprintations, your proofing & production timeline will be built right into your custom proposal!)

5. Set an RSVP Deadline (5 Weeks Before the Wedding)

An RSVP deadline about five weeks before your wedding gives you time to:

Follow up with any guests who haven’t replied
Provide accurate final numbers to your caterer, rental company, and venue
Finalize seating charts, place cards, and day-of stationery

6. Use Your Vendor Team as a Resource

Remember — you don’t have to plan alone! Your vendors are experts in their fields and are happy to guide you through timelines, logistics, and creative ideas that will make your day seamless and memorable. Securing the best vendor team early in the planning process is KEY to smooth wedding plans. Your vendors can help guide you throughout the full process, and will be invaluable when it comes to ensuring everything runs right on schedule!

For couples who adore the energy of downtown Indianapolis, our Indianapolis Skyline Save the Date Card is a sleek and meaningful way to announce your wedding date. Designed for the modern couple who loves clean lines and city charm, this design combines contemporary minimalism with local artistry — a true celebration of the place you call home.

A Minimalist Take on the Indianapolis Skyline

This A7 white card features a detailed line illustration of the Indianapolis skyline, showcasing landmarks like the JW Marriott, Indiana Statehouse, Monument Circle, Salesforce Tower, and even the IMS Pagoda. It’s a love letter to the city itself — a piece that instantly feels personal to anyone who has strolled through downtown or shared special moments beneath its skyline.

The design is both modern and timeless, making it perfect for couples hosting their wedding at urban venues like The Biltwell Event Center, Indianapolis Central Library, Industry, the Omni Severin, or The Conrad in downtown Indianapolis.

Simple, Sophisticated Design

Printed in black flat ink on premium White matte cardstock, this design balances minimalist elegance with high-end craftsmanship. Your names appear in classic script, with essential wedding details below in crisp, modern type — creating a layout that’s both refined and easy to read.

Each save the date includes a coordinating A7 envelope, with complimentary guest and return addressing, for a finished presentation that feels effortless yet elevated.

Designed for the Modern Indianapolis Couple

This design is made for couples who appreciate the clean, contemporary aesthetic of black and white stationery — yet still want something deeply personal. It’s ideal for downtown weddings, rooftop receptions, or any celebration where the Indianapolis skyline plays a meaningful role in your story.

The Most Romantic Indianapolis Wedding Venues

Posted on December 30, 2025 by Cari

Categories: in WEDDINGS

If you got engaged over the holidays — congratulations! This is a wonderful time to dive into wedding planning, and one of the first major decisions you’ll make is choosing your venue. Your venue sets the tone not only for your day but for your stationery, your invitations, your save-the-dates, and every detail that follows.

Here in the Indianapolis area, you’re surrounded by stunning wedding venues that strike the perfect balance of elegance, charm, and “this feels like us.” Whether your style is historic glamour, lush garden romance, or modern city chic, here are a few of our top pics for romantic venues in and around Indianapolis (and where an elegant & custom wedding invitation suite will feel right at home).

1. Scottish Rite Cathedral

This grand building in downtown Indianapolis boasts neo-Gothic architecture, and is a show-stopping choice! It has soaring ceilings, dramatic architectural details, and an ambiance that feels timeless.

Stationery Tip: For couples who want their stationery to feel elevated and elegant, this venue provides a rich backdrop. Think sumptuous envelope liners, deep letterpress ink, and invitation suites that nod to the venue’s history.

2. The Indiana Roof Ballroom

Located high above Monument Circle, The Indiana Roof Ballroom is pure sophistication — and has just been remodeled, offering many updated & elegant perks to their wedding clients! Sparkling chandeliers, marble floors, an insanely gorgeous bar & cocktail hour space, and panoramic city views make it a dream setting for couples who love tradition with a touch of grandeur.

Stationery Tip: This is the perfect backdrop for stationery that feels regal yet refined — crisp cotton paper, black and gold accents, or even a soft monogram that nods to classic ballroom elegance. It’s a venue where every detail shines, so your invitations should, too.

3. Laurel Hall

If you’re searching for a venue that feels private, romantic, and timelessly elegant, Laurel Hall is it. This stately mansion blends European architecture with lush outdoor spaces — perfect for a garden ceremony or elegant indoor celebration.

Stationery Tip: The soft light, stone terraces, and ivy-covered walls make Laurel Hall ideal for invitations with delicate scripts, neutral palettes, and textured details like deckled edges or silk ribbon. It’s a venue that pairs beautifully with understated luxury.

4. Newfields (Indianapolis Museum of Art)

With its manicured gardens and artful architecture, Newfields offers the best of both worlds: romantic outdoor beauty and refined indoor spaces. Not to mention, the Lily House is a perfect spot for your wedding day photos! Whether you envision a tented garden celebration or a modern art museum affair, the Newfields museum and grounds are endlessly versatile.

Stationery Tip: Your invitations can reflect the balance between nature and sophistication — think flowing calligraphy paired with structured layouts or botanical illustrations printed on soft cotton paper.

-----------------------------------------

Why Your Venue Matters for Your Invitations

Your venue is what establishes your overall wedding aesthetic, after which everything else falls into place.

Plus, choosing your venue early helps set your invitation timeline (and RSVP deadline). Many of Indianapolis’s most sought-after venues book up quickly, especially for spring and fall dates — so the sooner you secure your venue, the sooner you can plan your Save the Dates, invitations, and day-of details.
