A good rule of thumb is to call the wedding for at least half an hour to 45 minutes before you want the ceremony to begin, and state that time on your invitation. It's also important to be very intentional with what you plan to have guests do for that window of time before your ceremony starts.21 Oct 2021
How do you write the time on a wedding invitation?
Traditionally, the date and time should be spelled out in full. For example, if your ceremony is on , at 4:30 p.m., the wording should read, “Saturday, the fifteenth of September, two thousand twenty-one, at half after four in the afternoon.” The day of the week and the month should be capitalized.20 Aug 2021
What time do you tell wedding guests to arrive?
Ideally, guests should schedule time to arrive 30 minutes before the invitation start time of the ceremony (expect to carve in extra time for larger wedding guest lists). If you've arrived after the ceremony commences, slip into the back row or wait for the coordinator or usher to guide you to the seat.17 Nov 2021
Do you put location of ceremony or reception on Save the date?
You don't have to name your wedding and reception venue(s) just yet—save that detailed information for your actual wedding invitation. Simply naming the town or city and state (or destination wedding location) works for this early announcement.19 Oct 2021
Is 9 months too early to send wedding invites?
Before you send out your invites, it's traditional to send out a save the date card. But again, it can be tricky to know the best time to send out your save the dates. Ideally, this should be as soon as you've secured the date with your venue, but at least 9-12 months before the date is advised.18 Jul 2019
