    My wedding is in January and I plan on sending them out in late October - early November, but I was wondering how early I needed to purchase them? How long does it take them to come in? Also, I've heard it's a long process to address them all.

    So, what do you think?

    Thanks :)

    It depends on where you get them. We got ours on Etsy and the woman addressed them all for us. We ordered at the end of April and got them the first week in June and they're going out the second week in July for a September 18th wedding. I'd start looking now and order maybe 4-6 months out.

    @Nurselindsey: Yeah, it was so easy! And so worth the 25 cents per address!

    NL - Thank you for always posting the questions that I have!! I was just angst-ing over this!

    Treasure - which seller did you get them from, if you don't mind my asking?

    @rachaelrobin: Our seller was PaintingsByShanon. She did an amazing job! And she's doing our donation favor cards as well :)
