Short answer: order bridesmaid proposal gifts 9 to 12 months before the wedding, bachelorette shirts and favors 3 to 4 weeks before the trip, wedding-day gifts 4 to 6 weeks before the wedding, and newlywed keepsakes any time after. Personalized items need a few extra days compared with off-the-shelf gifts, so build in a buffer.
9 to 12 months before: bridesmaid proposals
As soon as your date is set, order bridesmaid proposal gifts. Ordering two weeks before you plan to ask leaves time to correct a spelling.
2 to 6 months before: engagement and bride-to-be gifts
Engagement parties and bridal showers fall here. Bride-to-be gifts and custom photo gifts make easy shower presents.
3 to 4 weeks before the bachelorette
Collect sizes and order matching shirts and favors. See our bachelorette guide by theme.
4 to 6 weeks before the wedding: wedding-day gifts
Getting-ready pajamas, robes, ring dishes and parent gifts. If you are building a custom wedding gift box, order everything together so it ships as one package.
After the wedding: newlywed keepsakes
Mr and Mrs gifts and first Christmas ornaments are lovely thank-you or anniversary gifts. For a first Christmas, order by early December.
