So January went on FOREVER, right!? Now here we are in February and it’s full steam ahead, stationery wise, for many of you planning spring and summer weddings. It’s not too early to get started on those autumn celebrations either. Here’s my complete wedding stationery checklist for February, to keep you on track.
1. Order your save the date cards
for 2025 and early 2026 weddings
The idea time to send save the date cards 12 to 18 months before your wedding.
But, if you are keen to get started and have booked your date and venue you are good to go.
Any time up to two years in advance is absolutely fine!
When do you send save the dates for your wedding?
Do you send save the dates to evening guests?
2. Order your wedding and evening reception invitations
for weddings from June to September 2024
The ideal time to send your wedding invitations is between four and eight months before the big day. Allow time to have them designed, proofed, and printed, so order them between six and ten months before your wedding. Click any of the images below for more wedding invitation inspo.

4. Don’t forget the all important thank you cards
the last piece of wedding stationery you need
Thank you cards are the perfect way to round off your wedding stationery suite. A personal, handwritten note to your nearest and dearest is a must. If you have tied the knot in the last six months, then it’s not loo late!
What on earth do you write in thank you cards?

Top tip
If your wedding is in early summer this year, it’s not too late to get your invitations from me. My lead time is usually around two weeks from approval of proofs. So, if you get everything sorted by the end of February, your invitations should be ready my mid March, if not before.
