    We met with our jeweler who gave us the heads up that their bridal show would be in a few months - so we scheduled to purchase ours in November. FH went and picked out his ring, and I'm having mine made to match my e-ring. On the bridal show day we get 10% off, as well as get to us the Bridal Dollars FH earned when he purchased my ring. It will end up saving us around $400 by purchasing that weekend.

    I think it depends on who you plan to purchase your rings from as to when you will find the best deal.

    We got ours about 2 months ago, so about 8 months prior. No real reason on the timing. We actually got FH's band off amazon (he wanted titanium) and mine off Overstock.com! We both love our bands! Definitely recommend both those resources as they offer great deals. Just make sure you read the reviews and double check return policies just in case.

    I'm guessing Black Friday would be a good time for sales. We are probably going to buy ours early next year. They have to special order my size so it'll take a couple months to come in, plus I'm just so excited!!

    At least 4 months before wedding, just to be safe. My band had to go back once and DH's took a couple weeks longer than mine...

    We just went to get ours Saturday, 3 weeks before. FH's possibly won't be here in time but I ordered one from Etsy for $14 just in case. I still want a band for him for the ceremony. My band will likely make it here before the big day but if not, the jewelry store said I can wear the one from their store until mines arrive! Who knew!?! Lol.

    We put mine on layaway a few weeks ago. We weren't intended to buy it this early, but I loved it so much and Jared will hold it for us in their safe while we slowly pay it off with no interest Smiley smile

    We bought ours from James Allen on Black Friday! They were 30% off!

    Edit: Our wedding was 8.20.16- so 9 months before.

    Zales had a big sale, and I was able to get an additional $200 off on my FH's band. We are 8 months away.... a sale does not have a time limit when it comes to purchasing something pricey; act on it fast.

    We actually just got ours on Saturday. We are 10 months away today. I'd say get them when you can afford them and when the price is right. We went to a Zale's outlet.

    We had our appointment 2 months prior, and they were all ready a few weeks before wedding. Mine was custom, and it didn't take much time at all.

    I would get them two months before your wedding at the latest because if you need to get it resized, it'll need to be shipped out. And if you're unlucky like me, you'll have to get it sent out twice! lol

    If you are going through a chain..black Friday. If going privately just keep an eye out for sales.
