 FAQs

  • Typically, wedding invitations are sent out 8-12 weeks before your wedding day. However, if you’re planning a destination wedding or a multi-day event, it’s best to send them out a bit earlier—about 3-4 months in advance. This gives your guests enough time to make travel arrangements and RSVP comfortably.

  • A complete wedding invitation suite usually consists of the main invitation, an RSVP card, and a details card. Depending on your event, you may also want to include reception cards, accommodation information, or even a map or itinerary to guide your guests. At Paper Republic, we help you customize your suite to fit your unique wedding vision and ensure every piece ties together seamlessly.

  • Save-the-Dates aren’t a must, but they’re highly recommended—especially for destination weddings, weekend-long celebrations, or weddings with many out-of-town guests. They give your guests a heads-up to reserve the date and start planning their travel, ensuring everyone can be part of your special day.

  • Personal touches are what make your wedding stationery stand out and tell your story. We love incorporating elements like custom monograms, hand-drawn illustrations, or thoughtful quotes that resonate with you as a couple. We can explore ideas and more to create something uniquely yours when booking an inspiration call.

  • Escort cards and a seating chart fulfill the same need; they help guests find their designated tables. Escort cards are individual cards with each guest’s name and table number, while a seating chart displays the entire guest list on a large board or sign. Place cards, on the other hand, are set at each table to guide guests to their specific seats. Depending on your wedding style and guest count, we can help you decide which option works best for you.

  • It’s ideal to start planning your wedding stationery 6-8 months before your wedding. This gives you enough time to design, revise, and finalize your pieces, and also allows for the necessary time for printing and assembly. However, if you’re opting for custom illustrations or specialty printing techniques, it’s best to allow more time to get everything perfect and get in touch a year in advance.
