One of the biggest wedding-planning stresses is timing — ordering the right pieces at the right moment so nothing arrives late. Here's a simple stationery and signage timeline so your wedding print is handled without last-minute panic.

Save-the-dates: 6–8 months out

Send save-the-dates well ahead, especially for destination or holiday weddings, so guests can plan. This is also when your wedding's look starts to take shape.

Invitations: 3 months out

Order invitations early and mail them 6–8 weeks before the wedding. Build in time for proofing, printing, and addressing — and order extras for keepsakes and photos.

Day-of signage: 1–2 months out

Order your welcome sign, seating chart, table numbers, and other signage about a month or two ahead — after your guest list and seating are mostly final.

Favors & last details: 3–4 weeks out

Finalize signage a month or two out. Order coordinated sets to keep everything matched and on time.
