<p><span>Virtual invitations are increasingly popular, beautiful and&nbsp;many&nbsp;only need <strong>3-5 days</strong> to be&nbsp;personalised and&nbsp;ready for immediate online delivery to your guests. Should you be looking for printed invitations,&nbsp;you would need to allow&nbsp;anywhere between 3-10 weeks depending on your supplier and materials used. <br /><br />Motion Stamp is an online invitation service with many stunning pre-made designs, as well as a bespoke motion design service. To see an example of an beautiful online invitation please visit<br />https://invite.motionstamp.com/black-and-gold-wedding-invitation-template/<br /><br /></span>If you have any questions, we would be very happy to assist.&nbsp;<br />Kind Regards<br />Jo, Motion Stamp.</p>

<p>Hi :)</p> <p>I would recommend to start enquiring with suppliers as soon as you have a rough idea of your guest list and how many invitations you require. It can take at least a week to two weeks for a semi custom design to be customized for your wedding (this is when you choose a style the supplier has made). If you'd like a custom design this can take atleast 2-6 weeks in total to be designed. Printing, production and assemble can take 1-3 weeks, longer for finishes like foil and letterpress. Shipping takes generally around a week.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hope this helps! Please feel free to reach out if you need help.</p> <p>Jess | lunar creative | @lunarcreative_</p> <p></p> <p></p>

<p>Hello :)</p> <p></p> <p>I would start enquiring&nbsp;around 4 to 6 months before your wedding date. Around this time, you would ideally be organising your guest list, so you know how many invitations you require. I would suggest gathering most, if not all the major details of your wedding (venue, times, reception details) before booking&nbsp;your supplier. This will allow more time for printing and postage. Keep in mind that certain printing finishes (foil, letterpress, embossing) may require a longer print time.&nbsp;So having all your details ready before booking will allow for a faster turnaround time so that you&nbsp;receive your stationery with enough time to post out to guests. Which will also be one less thing to stress over!</p> <p></p> <p>Hope this was helpful, please contact if you have any more questions!</p> <p></p> <p>Keisha x</p> <p></p>

<p>Hi,&nbsp;</p> <p>It really depends on your supplier.&nbsp;</p> <p>I would start enquiring as soon as you have the bigger details of your wedding planned. (Venue, reception, times, before and after events, etc).</p> <p>Depending on your supplier, it takes 2-8 weeks to design an invitation, 1-2 weeks to print, 1-2 weeks to assemble the invitations.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you wanted bespoke items, for example, envelope calligraphy, I would leave more time again.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hope this has been helpful, please do not hesitate to contact if you need any help.&nbsp;</p> <p>Kind regards,&nbsp;</p> <p>Lisa @CamelliaCreatives</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p>
