Answering Your Top FAQs About Wedding Invitations

Planning your dream wedding involves countless decisions, and one of the most crucial aspects is undoubtedly your wedding invitations. These elegant pieces of stationery not only convey important information but also set the tone for your special day. To help you navigate the world of wedding invitations, we've gathered answers to some of the most frequently asked questions:

Are wedding invitations the same as save-the-dates?

Wedding invitations and save-the-dates play distinct roles in your wedding preparations. Save-the-dates act as a preliminary heads-up to your guests, informing them of the date and location well in advance. This allows guests to make necessary arrangements, especially if they need to travel. In contrast, wedding invitations are more formal and detailed. They include all the essential information guests need to attend your celebration and are typically sent out 6-8 weeks before the big day.

Can wedding invitations be emailed?

Yes! In today's digital age, emailing wedding invitations, also known as digital invitations, is a popular and convenient option. Not only does it save on costs, but it's also environmentally friendly. Digital invitations offer instant delivery and streamline the RSVP process by directing guests to your wedding website, where they can find all the necessary details in one place.

Do you print invitations?

At Riley & Grey, we collaborate with a premium printing partner in the US to bring your designs to life on high-quality paper and envelopes. Our printed invitations start at $2.80 per invite and can be shipped worldwide. In addition to invitations, we also offer printing services for Save-the-Dates, Menus, Programs, Translucent Inserts, RSVP Cards, and envelopes.

Can I upload my own design?

Absolutely! With Riley & Grey's Guest Management tools, you can easily add your Guest List and send communications directly from your wedding website. While currently only Riley & Grey designs can be used for printed invitation sets, you have the flexibility to upload digital image files to personalize your invitations, outside of what Riley & Grey offers.
