What we have learnt designing wedding invitations and websites, told without the rush: what to write, when to send it and how to make every detail feel like yours.

A wedding website gathers everything your guests would otherwise text you about into a single link. Here is what to include, when to send it, how to ask about allergies responsibly, and what to sort out if you are marrying in Spain or Italy with guests flying in from the UK and Ireland.
Wedding planning
Planning a wedding isn't hard, it's long. What wears you out isn't the number of jobs but not knowing which one comes next. Here is the month-by-month timeline we use with our couples: what to decide first, when to send each announcement and a printable checklist to tick off.
Stationery
The table plan, menus, place cards and welcome sign are the first things your guests read when they walk into the reception. Here is which pieces you really need, how to seat everyone without drama, what to write on each one and which sizes to ask your printer for.
Invitations
Asking for money as a wedding gift is no longer a faux pas in the UK, as long as it stays off the invitation itself, comes second to the invitation to celebrate and never mentions an amount. Here is where to put the details, wording you can copy for every tone, what guests typically give and how to share bank details without inviting trouble.
Planning
Bilingual wedding invitations let every guest, from your gran in Leeds to your partner's cousins in Seville, read the invitation and the website in their own language. Here is what to translate, how to explain Spanish and Italian timings, and which travel documents guests should check, with bilingual wording you can copy.
Invitations
If nearly all your guests live on their phones, digital invitations are easier, cost nothing to post and can be updated in seconds; paper still wins for grandparents and very formal weddings. For most couples the right answer is a mix: digital for everyone, plus a small run of printed invitations, delivered by hand, for the guests who will truly value them.
Invitations
Who should be named as hosts, what order the details go in, and how to mention a wedding list, an adults-only celebration or a ceremony in Spain or Italy without sounding awkward. With wording you can copy, adapt and send.
Guests
Ask for replies with your invitations and set the RSVP date about four weeks before the wedding, always a week ahead of your caterer's deadline for final numbers. Ask only what you will use (attendance, plus-ones, menu choice and allergies), and contact anyone who hasn't replied personally a week after the deadline: below you will find wording and reminder messages ready to copy.
Invitations
Send save the dates six to eight months before a UK wedding, and ten to twelve months ahead if guests are flying or the date falls on a bank holiday weekend. Keep them short: your names, the date, the place and a line saying the invitation will follow.
