Recently engaged (less than a month!) but both my fiance and I are both planners by nature so we've already nailed down our date and venue. We're getting married on December 10, 2022, which is smack dab in the middle of the holiday season. I've been reading that it's common practice to send save the dates 6 - 8 months before the wedding, but given the date of ours - wondering if we should send them closer to the 8/9 month range? December gets busy fast for so many people and while I know those who want to be at our wedding will come no matter what, I'd like to ensure we're giving our guests ample time to make plans/arrangements.
Does anyone have experience with December weddings and a timeline of sending communications (save the date, invitations, etc)?
Thank you!!!
