Those familiar and comfortable with online shopping have a variety of Web sites from which to view and order from.
Mail order catalogs are also an option, although most wedding planners will agree that goingstraight to the source will save time, money and energy. It may also spare a few headaches.
Invitations prices vary from 50 cents each to as much as $10 each depending on the ink, lettering, enclosures, size and style of paper and where they are ordered from.
Invitations should be ordered as soon as the wedding guest list is final. If the wedding date falls around a holiday, or is to be in a far-off destination, then guests should receive invitations farther in advance. For local weddings, six to eight weeks is considered sufficient notice.
Ordering far in advance also will allow enough time for the wedding invitations to be reprinted if an error should occur, such as a misprinted date or misspelled name.
Order 20 to 30 extra invitations to compensate for mistakes or last minute additions to the guest list.
Addresses should be handwritten on the envelopes and goofs are inevitable, so be sure to order plenty of extra envelopes, as well.
