As a general rule of thumb, i suggest mailing your invitations eight weeks ahead of time and requesting responses four weeks ahead of time. While companies vary in terms of their method for providing proofs and the length of time that and printing takes, start the selection and ordering process 5-6 months ahead of the big day whenever possible. If you don't have that much time, you need not worry, simply mention your time frame to the stationer so they can make appropriate suggestions of design.
When the time arrives to stuff your invitations, one easy way of helping the response process along is to number the response cards and keep a list of which guest was assigned what number (number the cards in a very small inconspicuous way on the back of the card so no one will notice. This method will prove invaluable when you receive a response card with no name filled in.
