Wedding Invitations

Usually, Save the Dates are sent out before wedding invitations, but if you’re pressed for time, you can just send the invitations straight away. This is especially useful if your wedding is coming up soon and you want to make sure everyone gets the details quickly. Still, Save the Dates do give your guests a heads-up and help them plan their schedules, so if you’ve got enough time, it’s good to consider sending them.

Yes! Joy offers both paper and digital wedding invites in hundreds of designs. Customise your cards to match your wedding style, and send them by post, email, or text. It’s easy to reach all your guests, whether they’re in Singapore or overseas. Many couples like to mix and match digital and paper invites to suit their needs. With Joy, you can design once and send anywhere.

It's best to send your wedding invitations about 6 to 8 weeks before your wedding day. This gives your guests enough time to RSVP and make any necessary arrangements. For destination weddings or larger events, consider sending invitations 3 months in advance. This allows your guests more time to arrange travel, book accommodation, and plan their schedules. Sending invitations early also helps avoid last-minute stress and ensures everyone receives the information they need promptly.

Joy’s built-in Contact Collector makes it easy to collect all your guests’ contact details in your guest list. Just share your magic link with your guests, let them fill in a quick form, and your guest list updates automatically. Every Joy wedding invitation comes with free recipient and return address printing, fully integrated with your contact list.

Your wedding invitation card should include all the key details your guests need. Make sure to list both your names, the wedding date, time, and venue. If there’s a reception, include those details too, along with any special instructions like dress code or parking info. It’s also a good idea to add your wedding website URL on the invite, so guests can easily find more details and updates.

When you’re ordering wedding invitations, just order one per household—not one for every guest. It’s a good idea to get at least 10–25 extra invitations, just in case you make a mistake, have last-minute guests, or want to keep some as mementos. Having a buffer means you won’t be caught off guard if anything changes or more guests are added. Most printers, including Joy, give discounts for bulk orders, so getting a few extras is a smart and cost-effective way to stay prepared.

Letting your guests choose to RSVP online or by paper is a thoughtful gesture. These days, more couples are including online RSVP instructions on their invitations instead of sending separate RSVP cards. Which option works for you? It really depends on your guest list and how comfortable everyone is with replying online.

Definitely! Just include your wedding website link on your printed RSVP card, and set up Joy's guest list so guests can add their own plus ones when they reply online.

Yes! Prints ordered from Joy’s print partner Paperlust can be shipped internationally, with a wide range of designs that match your wedding website.

How long it takes to make your wedding invitations depends on how detailed your design is and how many you’re ordering. Usually, printing and delivery takes about one to two weeks. To make sure you get your invites on time, it’s best to plan early and order well before you need to mail them out. Joy’s platform will show you estimated delivery dates and keep you updated along the way, so you’ll always know when to expect your order.

Wedding invitation prices can vary depending on factors like design, printing style, and extras such as foil stamping or letterpress. Joy offers different pricing options to suit various budgets. For a standard set of 100 printed invitations, you can view Joy’s pricing details online to find what suits you best. Ordering in larger quantities or choosing basic printing options can help lower the overall cost.

To be safe, you should consider getting 10–25 extra wedding invitations, depending on how your printer sells them.

It depends. Bridal showers are usually held three months to three weeks before the wedding, while wedding invites should be sent out 6 to 8 weeks before the big day. Since the timelines can overlap, it's quite common for bridal showers to happen either before or after the formal invites are sent.

Our invites and RSVPs are linked directly to your guest list, so when your guests reply, their responses show up exactly where you need them. No need to key in everyone’s answers one by one—we’ll settle it for you.

Your wedding invitation should highlight the key details—your names, the date, time, and venue of your ceremony. It's best not to include registry information, as it may give the impression that your celebration is focused on gifts. Keep the focus on the joy of your special day.

Of course! While receiving creative save-the-date cards by post is always a treat, paperless invitations are just as acceptable and much more practical.

Digital invites make it easy to share all the important details, and your guests can go straight to your wedding website for everything they need. Plus, you’ll be helping the environment, and your loved ones will appreciate having all the info right at their fingertips.

Definitely. Once you’ve shared your wedding date, your guests will probably start blocking their calendars and making plans to celebrate with you and your partner.

For destination weddings or guests coming from out of town, some might already be sorting out their travel. If you don’t follow up with a formal invitation now, it could cause confusion. Make sure you have a proper invite ready with all the details your guests need to confirm their travel and accommodation plans.

If you want to make it easy for your guests to give you a gift you’ll really love, your wedding website is the best place to share your registry details. With Joy’s registry tool, setting up a registry page is fast and fuss-free, and you can update it anytime you like.

To point guests to your wedding website, just add a separate enclosure card with your wedding invites. This card can simply direct them to your site—no need to mention the registry specifically, since it’ll be easy for them to find once they’re there.

Your wedding invitation should include both your names, the wedding date and time, the locations for the ceremony and reception, the hosts’ names (if any), dress code details, and an RSVP card with a self-addressed, stamped envelope.

For wedding invitation wording, it's usually the woman's name that comes first on the card. But honestly, you can go with whichever order feels right for both of you—what matters most is your love, not whose name comes first.

Yes! Whether you’re sending a physical or digital card, you can easily add a QR code or link to share more info with your guests. It’s a fuss-free way to give them quick access to your wedding website, registry, or any other key details. Check out the details.
