Ready for your November wedding stationery checklist? We’ve turned back the clocks, tricked and treated, and probably had some too many pumpkin spiced lattes, am I right!? Now, we’re hurtling towards the end of the year like you wouldn’t believe and in just over 60 days all of you planning a 2024 wedding will be saying ‘I’m getting married this year’.
Your November wedding stationery checklist
Here are my pro tips on what you should be actioning and ticking off this month with regards to your wedding stationery.
1. Order your save the date cards for
autumn/winter 2024 and all 2025 weddings
Ideally, you should send your save the date cards 12 to 18 months ahead of the big day. But up to two years in advance is perfectly acceptable. As soon as you have booked your date and venue you are good to go. Click any of the images below for more inspo.

2. Order your day and evening invitations
for weddings from March to June 2024
You should aim to send your wedding invitations between four to eight months in advance of the big day, which means you need to order them between 6 & 10 months before. This allows time for designing and proofing, as well as printing and finishing them. Click any of the images below for more wedding invitation inspo.

4. Don’t forget your thank you cards
if you have tied the knot already this year
Thank you cards are arguably the most important piece of your wedding stationery suite. A personal, handwritten note thanking your nearest and dearest for their gifts, cards, company, and well wishes is a must! They are also the perfect way to round off your stationery suite, with a co-ordiating design.
What on earth do you write in thank you cards?

Top tip
If you are planning to sort your stationery early in the new year, get a head start and book in with me before Christmas. When January rolls around, my diary goes a bit nuts. For now, I have some good availability and it’s fairly chilled (not literally, I do have heating in the studio 😉).
