Choose a destination to see the designers we rate there, for everything from save-the-dates to the welcome notes waiting in the room. Start earlier than you think: a wedding abroad asks guests to commit to travel, so the first cards need to go out further ahead than they would at home.
Stationery is the first thing your guests hold, and for a wedding abroad it does more work than usual. Save-the-dates need to go out early, often a year ahead, because people are booking flights and time off, and the invitation suite usually has to carry real information: travel, accommodation, timings across several days, and a sense of the place they are coming to.
Allow generous lead times. Calligraphy, letterpress and fine printing cannot be rushed, and international post is slow and occasionally unpredictable, with customs adding delay to anything sent across borders, so many couples post from a single country to keep things simple. A well-made welcome card, menu or order of service ties the day together, and it is worth treating the paper as part of the design rather than an afterthought.
