Weddings 2022

Thank you ! Yes fingers crossed that by then things will be opening up to larger crowds! Given we have chosen a holiday weekend we're thinking of sending the STDs about 9-12months before. All will be done electronically so it will definitely be easier!!

Thank you & Congratulations to everyone on their future weddings!!

We are in April 2022, and I am not sure if we are going to do STD at all. We may just do an electronic version or FB everyone to tell them and then send the formal invites out. Everyone is from the same area so it shouldn't be a problem and we also want to see what COVID is going to do. Congratulations on your engagement as well!

As a few others have said, I’d wait on sending out your save the dates... if you send them too far in advance people may forget. A good time to send them out would be about a year before the wedding ... hopefully by then covid will have died down as well. In terms of your invites, I’d send them about 4 months before the wedding .
Congrats on your engagement

Thank you all for your advice!!! I really appreciate it

We are also getting married in 2022 (July). We plan to send out virtual save the dates next summer ( a year in advance). We have also been verbally telling family members from out of town that we know we would like to have there.

We didn't send out save the dates at all. We did word of mouth (everyone invited are people we see fairly regularly) and thought about doing a Facebook group as a save the date. Once Covid hit we totally put off doing the Facebook save the date and are glad we did now. No one is over 3 hours drive away except one person and we have told him what date to save.

I would totally wait at least 6 months before! Things are changing fast now and COVID has been so unpredictable. The province is changing restrictions regularly. I would personally Just send invites about 3 months before the wedding and just verbally communicate save the date unless you are planning a larger wedding and inviting guests overseas.

I honestly wouldn’t. We sent our save the dates the week before covid broke out so they arrived for everyone going into lockdown. We had so many people asking if we were postponing and holding back their responses even when we sent the invites out because they were so unsure of the situation. I wouldn’t send them out any earlier than 6 months unless covid changes for the better.
