2 answersI know this gets asked all the time but can someone please advise me of the timing for invites?
I've seen many articles advising to send out invitations 6-8 weeks prior to the wedding. This doesn't seem enough time for me as I'm wanting to organise place cards, printed seating chart etc not to mention I'm sure I'll be chasing people up for RSVPs! My wedding is early November so I'd love some thoughts/advice. Thanks!

2 answersCan I leave one person from a group of friends off my guest list?
My guest list is quite limited by the capacity of my venue. In my group of friends I am not close with this person but feel that she would expect an invite. There are other people who we would rather invite so can I leave her off the guest list? Or is it too much of a risk of rupturing the group of friends? It’s a really tough decision that I’ve been mulling over.

1 answersCan anyone suggest any vendors for gold foiling on invitations?
I would like to have gold foiling for invites but am aware these come at an extra expense (and often quite significant). I would rule out letterpress foiling but am looking for a company that offers hot foil printing that isn't going to break the bank!
