How long does it take for invitations to come in once you order them?
My wedding is June 30th and I haven't even started looking for invitations. I am still working on finding a dress!! What is the drop dead date for ordering invites and how far in advance should I send them out assuming a June 30th wedding date??? Thanks!!

Re: How long does it take for invitations to come in once you order them?
There are a lot of factors involved - whether or not they're in stock, custom-made, or it's "busy" wedding season and others....
You should definitely start looking soon - and place an order no later than March.

True. Mine took less than a week but I've heard others taking months.

It took about a week for the fax proof to come in and then 2 weeks to arrive after that.

Re: How long does it take for invitations to come in once you order them?
It depends on where you order them from. Ours took a week after we ordered them. We went directly through a local printer who specialized in jewish weddings. We had a lot of hebrew we added to our invitations.
Our wedding was in November and we ordered our invitations in August.

Re: How long does it take for invitations to come in once you order them?
Mine took a little over a week. I also assumed they would take 4 -6 weeks. So I was pleasantly surprised when they arrived

Re: How long does it take for invitations to come in once you order them?
I'm getting married june 17th and we are ordering invitations this week. They are letterpress and the store said they take 6 weeks. I would start looking this weekend and if you can, order within the next couple of weeks.

Re: How long does it take for invitations to come in once you order them?
I don't think they take long at all (I have heard it taking anywhere from 1-8 weeks), but I would order them no later than March 30th.

Re: How long does it take for invitations to come in once you order them?
I've heard some where it takes a few months. Ours took 1 week! I was told to order ours 6 months in advance. It gave us piece of mind because you never know if there are printing errors.
You should have them out 8 weeks before your wedding, with an RSVP date at least 1 month before.

Re: How long does it take for invitations to come in once you order them?
We ordered ours last Monday... they told us the proof will come in 1-2 weeks, and the invitations will be printed 7-10 business days after that... so I would say a total of 4-5 weeks from ordering to recieving. SOme places take less, some more. I think you should leave yourself no less than 4 months before the wedding. Since most invites go out about 2 months before the wedding ,that gives you 2 months to order and recieve and address the invitaions, which really isn't much time when you think about it.
