Invites for a Friday wedding

Erin, on July 19, 2019 at 3:35 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 7
We didn’t do STDs in order to save money. My wedding is Friday, October 11th, so outside of the busy summer schedules. Should I still send the invitations 8 weeks out? Or a little sooner in order for people to coordinate with work, etc.?

    I think 8 weeks out is good. I did mine earlier just because I had my own deadlines for final counts.

    I think 8 weeks is a good number, just remember you're going to have people not send back their invite on time so you'll need time to contact them to see if they're coming and you'll need to give the caterer a final head count, sometimes they ask for the final number 2 weeks in advance.

    Hi Wedding Twin!

    I am also getting married on 10/11/2019 and my fiance and I did not send STDs. We are sending our invites within the next week or so. And our RSVP due date is 09/11/2019.

    My wedding is October 13. I’ve already sent out invites. Remember that it is a holiday weekend and some people go away. We’ve had several guests already contact us saying they’re trying to move around their vacation to accommodate attending the wedding. If they can’t, it’s ok, I understand other people have lives. But this is one reason we sent them out a little early (other reason being most of our guests are coming from out of town).

    Yes, I would send them out a little early, with no save the date and it being on a Friday. 10 weeks is probably better. Id probably aim for very beginning of August.

    10-12 weeks would probably be better for guests. Also probably a know your crowd thing too—probably about half of my guests knew the date before the save the dates even went out since we were super excited to tell them (everything was booked right before thanksgiving last year so we saw them for the holidays). My point is, if you think a lot of your guests are already aware of the date just through word of mouth you might be ok to wait

    Send them out 8weeks at minimum.
    If you can also send an email STD now.
