And if you want something out of the ordinary, there are stationery designers who will hand-make everything in a design exclusive to you. Spend time choosing your stationery. It should set the scene for your wedding and reflect its style. And whatever you choose, do insist on good quality card. You’re spending a small fortune on your wedding, and you want your stationery to show what an important event it is. Make your stationery an early priority. It isn’t unusual for invitations to be sent out three months before the wedding and you need to allow time for them to be printed. Order your stationery at least six months before the wedding – longer if you are having it hand-made.
