Here is a general WEDDING TIMELINE to guide your through all the stages – from your engagement party or announcement to the thank you cards you might want to send after the event:
ENGAGEMENT Party
The engagement is not necessary, but if you consider it could be a wise idea in your case, you can make it a big event – throwing a party – or you can just send to your future wedding guests an announcement card
Wedding SAVE the DATE
Send a card, postcard or any other little something (could be a fridge magnet, a magnetic card, a beverage coaster, a wine bottle with personalized label or a shot glass with your names and wedding date) to your future guests 6 to 12 months prior to your wedding
Your BRIDESMAIDS and GROOMSMEN
Invite your best friends to be your maid of honor, bridesmaids, flowers girls, best man, groomsmen sending them cards, postcards or small gifts
