Wondering how to order wedding invitations? You’re in the right place. This page covers everything from custom hand-painted designs to elegant Palm Beach Gardens wedding invitations, plus guidance on how many to order, when to send them, and whether to go with printed or digital options—so you can plan with confidence.


How many wedding invitations should I order?

We recommend ordering 10–15 extra invitations beyond your guest count. These extras cover last-minute guest list changes, keepsakes, photography styling, and any re-mailing needs.

How to calculate it:
If you’re inviting 100 guests, you typically need about 60–70 invitations (or one per household). Then add 10–15 extras.


When should I order wedding invitations?

You should order your wedding invitations at least 3–6 months before your wedding date. For custom hand-painted invitations, we recommend 6–8 months to allow for design time, printing, and revisions.

Best option:

  • Save the Date cards: Order 8–12 months before your wedding
  • Wedding Invitations: Order 4–6 months ahead
  • Rush printing? We offer expedited options

When should I send out wedding invitations?

We suggest sending your wedding invitations 6–8 weeks before your big day. For destination weddings, allow more time: 10–12 weeks ahead.

Voice search tip:
“Hey Google, when do I mail my wedding invites?”
Answer: About 2 months before your wedding day.


What makes Do Tell A Belle’s invitations unique?
