So there's frost on the ground and I've had a chocolate reindeer for breakfast, it must be December!
.
As we head into the last (and probably busiest) month of 2023, here's your checklist to keep you on track with planning your wedding stationery this month.
.
🗓 Save the date for December 2024 and all 2025 weddings
➡️ you can send them up to 2 years in advance, as soon your date & venue are booked you're good to go
.
💌 Invitations for weddings from April to July 2024
➡️ aim to send them between 4 & 8 months before the big day, which means you need to order them between 6 & 10 months before
.
💒 Ceremony & reception stationery for weddings in December 2023, and January & February 2024
➡️ all those bits like your table plan, place cards, confetti bags and welcome signs
.
✍️ Thank you cards if you tied the knot already this year
➡️ a personal, handwritten note is a must!
.
📲 Don't forget, you can download my ultimate guide to what stationery you need along with a really useful timeline for free. It's on the link in my bio, or scan the QR code.

🌈Splash of colour🌈
Gotta be honest, the short days and general greyness around this time of year are not my favourite.
So, here's a bit of colour to brighten up an otherwise slightly dull Monday.
Enjoy! 😀

What flowers are in the seed paper?
.
It's a mix of wildflowers. Typically I use a paper that has daisy, poppy, lavender, and Rudbeckia seeds in it, but my stock can vary from time to time depending on what is available.

Quick tip Tuesday - save this!
.
Q: When do you ask for RSVP on your wedding invites?
.
My advice:
- Set a reply deadline of 6 to 8 weeks after you send your invitations.
- Make sure you have a bit of buffer time between your reply by date and when your venue and caterers need final numbers, menu choices etc.
- Don't be afraid to make the RSVP timescale shorter if you need to.
- People are more likely to reply quicker if they have a short timescale.
.
Do you have any questions about RSVPs? Drop them in the comments, or send me a DM.
