How long before the wedding did you send invitations?

Joey, on March 5, 2018 at 08:55 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 26

I want to ask you about your wedding planning timeline - I'm curious to know how long before the wedding you crossed various planning tasks off your to-do list, or when you're planning to have the tasks finished. So play along to have some fun comparing timelines, while sharing your advice with those who are still building their own!

How long before your wedding date did you mail out your invitations? When is your RSVP deadline?

    I sent the cards out 9 months earlier with 3 months to RSVP and keeping the 6 months for the shopping and final details to take care.

    Due to the impending Canada post strike (back at the end of September), I chickened out and sent our invites out early. I was going to send them mid-October, about 3 months out, but ended up sending them 4 months out.

    I am planning on sending them out June 1, with an rsvp date of july 16, so 2 months before the wedding. That rsvp date gives me lots of time to finilaze numbers by aug. 1

    Our wedding invites will be going out this week! So We're just shy of 4 months before the big day. I've set the RSVP to a month before the wedding so I want to literally have NOTHING to chase in that last month.

    Since we didn’t send save-the-dates, we sent our invites out about 9 months in advance.

    We sent our invited about 4 months before the wedding, we wanted people to have plenty of time to RSVP, even now only about 50% of people have done so and our wedding is in a month.
