When to mail out invitations?

We just sent ours and our wedding is late July. But we are expecting visitors from USA and 5 different countries in Europe, so we wanted to make sure that everyone will receive them fairly early so that they can plan their off work days etc but also not too early so that they would forget or so.

We handed out most of ours in early February and are just mailing out the last few now for your wedding in late July. We also have an RSVP deadline set about 6 weeks from our date.

I had sent out 9 months prior when ot should have been 2 months. Just had family from the states come down.

I sent mine 2 months before the wedding.

Just sent ours out and we are about 6 months away.

We sent out our invites 4 months before. We mailed most and handed out a few to close family that we knew we were going to see!

I just ordered out invites from vistaprint. We will be mailing them out in April. Our wedding is in August.

Personally I need more time to plan so we are going to mail anyone long distance around 8 months before and then anyone in Ontario 6 months before (we are not doing save the dates). I don’t like the idea of having the long distance variable of people are coming but I guess anything could happen!

Thanks ladies! We’re getting married in May and we’re thinking of mailing them out in January

We get married June 9th and mailed them out at the end of January.

View quoted message We sent our save the dates a few months before via e-mail. We were only engaged for about 9 months before the wedding so we didn't have a lot of time to play with to do everything.

I would say the 4 month mark and not to mail out near any big holidays or the mail might take forever to get there!

We are sending ours in November for our wedding next May and asking people to RSVP by January

We're about to send ours by mail next week once it's ask ready and our wedding is Sept. Our rsvp is on My wedding website here so it's easier.

We didn’t do save the dates so we sent our invites out earlier about 6 months before. They don’t have to rsvp until 3 weeks before the wedding but we’ve had lots already start rsvping

View quoted message Great idea!! I think we’ll do the same.

View quoted message Thanks Erin! We have a lot of family coming from far away and we wanted to send save the dates as well!

I think we sent ours out 5 or maybe even 6 months in advance as we had tons of people far away.

We did ours at the 4 month mark. So justs sent them on Wednesday (which was the 7th) and our wedding is july 7!

We’re doing three months in advance and they have one month to respond. We sent out save the dates at 10 months before so people have already started to make plans to come
