Once your wedding date has been agreed you will be able to inform close family and friends of the date that you have booked and you might like to send out 'Save The Date' cards.
Wedding invitations should usually be sent six weeks before the wedding date.  However, in order for families to be organised, they are often sent out considerably earlier than this. If you include response cards then these should be returned no later than 4 weeks before the wedding.  Once these acceptances have been
received, you will be in a better position to send out the evening invitations. If the reception venue you have booked requires you to seat a minimum number of guests, then guests from your evening list can replace any guests invited to the day who are unable to make it. You should allow one invitation per family, including a courtesy one for the groom's parents and the minister and their partner.
	Also include family and friends who you may already know can not come, but who would appreciate receiving an invitation - for example a grandparent. To help you with your planning, we have our Wedding Checklist planning sheets which you are welcome to download by Clicking Here
