Invites

If youre doing STD do it now. im getting married in aug 2020 and we sent our save the dates since Apr 2019, but i mean ur wedding is coming so you could even skip the save the dates

View quoted message It actually worked perfectly. We wanted to get the invites out this month, but decided that we would do save the dates to give us more time with the invites as we still have not finalized a lot of the timing details.

View quoted message We ordered them off vistaprint. There was a promo code december19 which gave us 49%off our order.

Skip save the dates unless you have alot of people travelling a great distance

View quoted message Ou what site/company did you use?

View quoted message Awesome idea!! Nevee thought of doing the before.

Too late for save the dates. I would send out the invitations as soon as possible. The more notice the better that way you can get a number count on how many guests are coming to you can plan accordingly.

Don't bother with save the dates & just sent invitations. Save the dates are mostly unnecessary unless you are having a long engagement and sending them really far in advance.

I was so passionate about doing Save The Dates and Invites. I ended up just doing invites because my wedding was less than a year away and it's so much cheaper to only do one type of wedding invite!

Fully Agree with Chris! I sent out a text to everyone who needed to know (family, close friends, etc.) when we confirmed a date and booked the major vendors (Reception, Catering, Flowers, DJ, Decorators) I plan on sending out invites this month (combination of email and invites to the older folks). My wedding is June 27, 2020.

View quoted message We went with the magnet save the dates. Only cost $52 for 50 with envelopes after shipping and tax.

Thanks for letting me know! I'm going to check that out now.

View quoted message Thanks! It is true, internet is easiest for most, however we are very old fashioned. We are even doing prestamped envelopes and having our guests mail back the invites. It’s much more challenging, however we definitely think it is worth it for us as a lot of our guests will be so lost on the internet.

My fiancée and I are getting married on April 25th. We’re currently working on our invitations right now and don’t really need a “save the date”. We feel that it’s just a redundant step, because regardless you’d have to follow up anyways. It’s much easier to get a hold of people now a days through email, text, social media etc! I think you’ll be just fine!

View quoted message Thanks makes sense to reach out to our of town guests first.

View quoted message That’s a great point. I didn’t think of that.

View quoted message Awesome! We just ordered our save the sates on vistaprint last night. If you use the code December19 it might still work. We got 49%off our order.

We just booked our venue so goal is to send save the dates by the end of the next two weeks. We have family across the country and most need to put in their time off request in the next few weeks. So we chose to do earlier than some.

I'm getting married on October 2, 2020 and we haven't sent ours out yet. You should be fine! If you have people traveling from long distance I would send theirs first so they can start looking for flights and hotels (but honestly my flight tracking app just started to give me accurate info for October/November flights so too early doesn't always help)
We're planning on sending them soon, I didn't see the point in mailing them during the Christmas peak season where they might not get there any faster due to mail volumes.

Ours is the last weekend of September 2020. We sent Save the Dates to our immediate family and bridal party at the beginning of November so they'd have first dibs at the accommodations at our venue. The rest of them just went out a week ago. You're probably still fine to send them out if you get them out fairly quickly - like in the next month or so. We're probably sending our first round of invites in May and the second in July.

Everything I've read seems to be late . I'm sending out my save the dates however a year in advance because half our guests are out of town. Many have to plan their vacation a year in advance. With this being said I think if you're having it in your home town and people can easily drive there I'm sure it's not late for you

View quoted message Then I’d recommend 4 months out in June for sure.

View quoted message They say 2 weeks but I’m hoping to have it 4-6 weeks prior.

View quoted message Your invites I wouldn’t worry about til June at the earliest I think. It really depends on when your venue needs the guest count.

View quoted message Thanks! There aren’t too many travelling far for my wedding but I definitely want the RSVPs back by 6 weeds before. Being out of the province for the 5+ months leading up to the wedding myself I have been stressing out how to make it work.

I sent out my save the dates 11 months out since I have some family that needs to make major travel arrangements, so I wanted to give them that extra heads up. Invites I'll be sending out about 4 months out since vendors need to know final head count about a month before the wedding day

View quoted message Thank you. I have been worried about falling behind, I may be overthinking it and rushing too far ahead.

View quoted message Thanks. I have been stressing getting the invites done as we are going out of the province in April. I was thinking trying to get the invites out by the end of the month but I am worried it is a little too early.

You could send save the dates now or very soon, especially if you have out of town guests.


I sent my save the dates a year before (which I don’t recommend - it’s too far out) and I’m sending my Actual invites 4 months before my wedding because I need RSVPs back for a month before the wedding.

Save the Date is good to send now to give family/friends a heads up for your day to attend. The invitations itself would be good at 3 months time to get back in 6 weeks to get the final count 6 weeks before the day and vendors/venue are aware of how many to expect.
