August brides - when are you sending the invites?

Miss S., on April 14, 2014 at 1:23 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 34

My invites are burning a hole into my shelf. I hate seeing them sit there. lol. I do have some OOT guests, whom I already sent the invite too, so they can book their flights and stuff.

When are all the August brides sending their invitations out? I initially planned the end of May, which I know would be a good timeline but I don't know if I can wait that long Smiley winking ugh, patience.....

    I'm sending them out at the end of May- very beginning of June. My venue needs a 2 weeks notice head count. So that would give everyone a month and a half to RSVP and make plans. Smiley smile I also have guests from all over the place, but I sent out save the dates so they are already aware of the date itself.

    I already sent mine out Smiley smile I figured with a lot of OOT guests and guests with kids that are already planning summer vacations, it would be nice if I sent them out a bit early.

    I'm thinking 6 weeks before the wedding. So mid-June-ish. If I hadn't sent Save the Dates, I would probably do a full two months in advance.

    I'm sending mine out later this month or early next month. They are getting sent out somewhat early since we didn't do Save the Dates (just word of month reminders).

    I had a friend who got married in August and she sent hers out in May and it all went well for her.

    I am sending ours out end of May. We didn't send STD's though so we wanted them out early.

    I'm sending mine out mid-end of May, I'm sure once they arrive I'll have the the same feeling you have! We have a ton of OOT guests and want to make sure they have time to make travel arrangements. I'm requesting RSVPs by the end of July so I have plenty of time to make calls to those who neglect to respond. My venue needs 10 days before our wedding for a final headcount and payment.

    Our vow renewal date is August 23rd. Sending out our invites around the third week in May (I have a reminder set for May 22nd). Our venue needs a payment of 50% of the expected numbers 45 days prior which is July 9 and our final balance is due 3 days before which is August 20. Our RSVP date is June 24 to give us enough time to track down any non responders. lol

    We only have three couples coming from OOT and we sent Save the Dates out in September Smiley smile

    I already sent out the invites because I have a ton of out-of-town guests.
