Be sure to have confirmed details of your ceremony and reception before ordering your invitations. This includes the date, time and location(s). You should also have an accurate head count. Order one invitation for each single adult, couple or family invited. Order 25 extra invitations now as ordering 25 more at a later date will cost more and may delay sending your invitations.
