The Best Times to Send Out Your Wedding Stationery: A Guide from Little Green Wedding

Timing is everything when it comes to wedding planning, and that includes sending out your wedding stationery. From save-the-dates to thank-you cards, knowing when to post each piece ensures your guests have all the details they need. Here’s our expert guide to the best times to send out your wedding stationery.

1. Save-the-Dates: 6 to 12 Months Before the Wedding

  • Ideal for giving guests plenty of time to plan, especially for destination weddings.

  • Send earlier if your wedding falls during peak holiday seasons or requires travel.

  • Opt for sustainable seed paper save-the-dates from Little Green Wedding so guests can plant them after use.

2. Wedding Invitations: 8 to 12 Weeks Before the Wedding

  • This gives guests ample time to RSVP and make necessary arrangements.

  • Include details such as venue location, accommodation options, and dress code.

  • If using plantable invitations, remind guests to save a piece to plant as a lasting keepsake.

3. RSVP Deadline: 4 to 6 Weeks Before the Wedding

  • Set your RSVP deadline at least a month before the big day to finalise numbers for catering and seating.

  • Consider using RSVP cards made from recycled paper or digital RSVP options to reduce waste.

4. Wedding Day Stationery: 2 to 4 Weeks Before the Wedding

  • Items like menus, place cards, and seating plans should be finalised close to the event to accommodate any last-minute changes.

  • Choose sustainable options such as seed paper place cards or eco-friendly signage.

5. Thank-You Cards: Within 3 Months After the Wedding

  • Express gratitude to your guests with personalised thank-you notes.

  • Sending them within three months keeps the joy of your wedding fresh in everyone’s minds.

  • Choose biodegradable or plantable thank-you cards to continue the eco-friendly theme.

Bonus Tip: Order Early to Stay Stress-Free

  • Ordering your stationery in advance ensures you have enough time for customisation and any unexpected delays.

  • Work with an eco-conscious supplier like Little Green Wedding to ensure high-quality, sustainable designs.
