Invitations FAQ
The most common questions couples ask about wedding invitations — when to send, whether to choose digital or printed, what to include, how to get guests to reply, wording choices, and what to do when plans change after the invite is out.
Save-the-dates 5–6 months out for out-of-town guests; invitations 8–10 weeks before the wedding; reminders 3–4 weeks out. Set the RSVP deadline 2–3 weeks before the wedding.
Both work — many couples send physical cards to key guests and digital invitations to the rest. Digital makes RSVPs and last-minute updates much easier; physical carries the keepsake value.
Names, date and time, venue and directions, dress code, RSVP deadline and method, and a wedsite link if you have one. Lead with the logistics guests actually need.
Make the deadline and reply method prominent, send a polite reminder 3–4 weeks out, and chase late responders once before the deadline. A wedsite with a simple RSVP form removes friction.
Yes — follow the digital invite with a phone call for key elders, or send physical cards to the closest older relatives and digital to the rest.
Digital invitations make updates dramatically easier. Always leave a small buffer in your final headcount for the inevitable late addition or cancellation.
Lead with the names, date, venue, and RSVP details. Traditional and modern phrasing both work — the important part is clarity.
