When Should I Order My
When to order your wedding invitations can sometimes be a little tricky. You don’t want to rush the process, you want to enjoy it! Allow enough time for a custom designed invitation to be created just for you! You also need time to receive your order, address the invitations and mail them to your guests.
Here is a very helpful calendar for when you should have your invitations designed and printed, sent out, and when you should set your RSVP date. Wedding Month January February March April May June July August September October November December
Order Date July August September October November December January February March April May June
Send Out October November December January February March April May June July August September
RSVP Date December January February March April May June July August September October November
Note: For Reception Stationery such as Seating Charts, its best to send the seating
arrangements to Madeline’s at least 4 weeks prior to your wedding date. This allows enough time for design, any last minute changes and then off to the printers! For Menu design, send the menu to Madeline’s as soon as you confirm it. We can work on the design and send you a proof to review!

M_________________________
M_________________________
___ Able to attend ___ Number of persons ___ Unable to attend
Please indicate number of each Chicken___ Fish___ Beef___
M_________________________ ___ accepts with pleasure ___ declines with regret
Unable to attend ___
Note: If your reception offers a meal choice, let us know the options and we can
include them on the Respond Card! Or if there are any dietary restrictions or seat allotments, we can also include that information as well!
If modern and fun is more your style, then choose a response that is just that! Even a formal affair can use some fun Respond Card wording. Respond Card (4) With Bells On!
Respond Card (5) Dancing & Celebrating!
Respond Card (6) Have a Sweet Day!
__ will attend, with bells on __ will attend, free of bells __ will not attend, heard there will be people wearing bells
__ looking forward to dining, dancing, and celebrating __ regrettably will miss the fun
__ we’ll help make your day complete! __ we’re unable, but hope your day is sweet
Note: You may have guests who will neglect to write in their names. Solve this by
numbering your guest list, then inconspicuously writing the corresponding number on the back of each Response Card. If one arrives without a name, you can easily match it to your guest list!
