An Invitation Assembling Get Together

Weekly Wedding Tip
brought to you by bridalguide.com
"Try to allow at least a month to assemble your invitations and address the envelopes - and consider calling on your bridesmaids to help."

To help you better estimate when to assemble your invitations - the average guideline to follow for sending the invitations is 8 weeks before the wedding and ask for an RSVP date 3 weeks before your wedding. If you don't get to send them out until 6 weeks before the big day, ask for an RSVP date of 2 weeks before the wedding. You'll want to make sure you have enough time to start creating your place cards, making final head counts and seating arrangements, assembling favors, etc. So, if you want to plan a fun day with your bridesmaids to assemble your invitations, you are looking at having a get together around 3 months before the big day.

Invitations shown above are from the new releases at eInvite

I LOVE the idea of getting all my besties together to do wedding prep. I am planning several (with different attendees of course) wedding favor assembly, invitation assembly, and welcome basket assembly. For those that are blessed to live close to friends and family this is a great time to get together... and for goodness sakes... provide snacks and beverages.
