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 Order Date Send Out RSVP Date January May November December February June December January March July January February April August February March May September March April June October April May July November May June August December June July September January July August October February August September November March September October December April October November For Reception Stationery such as Seating Charts, its best to send the seating arrangements to Madeline’s at least 3 to 4 weeks prior to your wedding date (3 week minimum). This allows enough time for design, any last minute changes and then off to the printers!

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!
