Wedding Stationery Checklist: What to Print and When to Order It

The full wedding print list, in order: save-the-dates (9–12 months before), invitations with RSVP details (3–4 months), then the final-month cluster — order of service booklets, table plan, place cards, menus and signage. The final-month items can't be printed earlier because names and numbers keep changing, so book the slot ahead and supply names late.

The checklist with timings

Item	Order by	Notes
Save-the-dates	9–12 months	A6 postcard on 300gsm is the classic
Invitations + RSVP	3–4 months	Uncoated stock suits most wedding styles
Order of service	3–4 weeks	8–12pp booklet; confirm hymn/reading text first
Table plan	2 weeks	A1/A2 poster or mounted Foamex board
Place cards & menus	1–2 weeks	Names always change — print late
Welcome sign	2 weeks	Foamex board survives an outdoor ceremony

The mistake couples make

Printing the final-month items early "to be organised" — then two guests drop out, a reading changes, and the reprint costs more than the patience would have. The second mistake: leaving the booking as late as the printing. Tell us the date; we hold capacity.

Matching everything

Bring the invitation design (or its Canva file — export guide) and every subsequent piece inherits the same fonts, colours and stock, so the day looks designed rather than assembled.

What does a typical wedding print package cost?

Hugely variable by quantity and stock, but the final-month cluster (order of service ×80, table plan, place cards, welcome sign) is commonly a low-hundreds job, priced from published rates rather than "wedding pricing".
