THE PAPER ROSE

BOOKING PROCESS

Effortless, thoughtful, and beautifully tailored to you.

At Paper Rose Invitation, we believe ordering your wedding invitations should feel just as joyful and meaningful as the day they celebrate. From the first design choice to the final printed piece, each step is curated to be stress-free and full of intention.

When to Book Invitations

We recommend booking your invitations about 4–6 months before your wedding. This allows ample time for customizing your suite, proofing, printing, and addressing—while still keeping the process relaxed and enjoyable. Invitations are typically mailed 8–10 weeks before the big day, so getting started early ensures everything is ready right on schedule.

For destination weddings, we recommend booking your invitations at least 5–6 months before your wedding date. Because destination invitations are typically mailed earlier—around 12 weeks in advance—starting a bit sooner allows time for customization, proofing, and production without added stress. Early mailing also gives your guests plenty of time to make travel arrangements.
