Invitation questions

Hi lovelies!

I need to get my invitations out this month and I'm getting a little anxious. I have the picture I want to use, and the style I want with wording and everything(Vistaprint). Now I'm wondering...could I have just had a suite designed and made it easier on myself? I feel like I have been designing each individual piece for a year now. The only thing I am still waiting on is where we will eat after the ceremony. That has to be on the invitation somewhere. Does anyone know how if there is an invitation suite shortcut to just fill in info and it populates into your chosen invitation? Thank you and apologies if this isn't clear

I don't have much experience with Vistaprint, but are you sending out your invitations this month or do you mean Save the Dates? Generally invitations are sent 6-8 weeks before the wedding and if the date on your profile is correct, sending them this month is pretty early

Oh, I forgot to clarify: I am not doing save the dates. I'm sending the invitations out 8 months ahead of time (destination wedding) so my family can save money for travel. My family lives in Texas and a few other states and his family lives in our state. I felt like it saved me at least a little money not to send them.

I was going to ask the same question as Amber. Sending out invitations now, or even in a month is way too early. You definitely want to wait on any designing until you have all of your information. I have never done invitations through VistaPrint so I am unsure if a suite style invite would work how you want but good news is, you have plenty of time to play around with it and see if it does.

All of this. Sending invitations 8 months in advance is inconvenient for your guests and a waste for you. No one can RSVP for an event this early, that’s the whole purpose of save the dates.

I agree. Guests cannot properly predict if they are going to be able to attend 8 months ahead of time.
