Is it too late for save the dates?

Not really but pushing it kind of close to sending out invites. Mines is the weekend before on the 18th and mines have been gone since the end of last month...sending out invites in June.

I wouldn’t spend the money on STD’s when it’s just 2 people who are “forgetful.”

Maybe you could quickly type up something to give to them? Or write it on their calendars?

No it's not too late. Don't feel bad your in laws keep asking. MY dad has asked me multiple times. I just take it as he has a lot going on with work and other things. My fiance suggested that we send ours via text or email to close family and friends just so they could have something to reference to.
We recently ordered ours off shutterfly- it was super easy.

Hope this makes you feel better.

You can always do electronic STD.. I saved time and money by sending it to their hone or email.

Yes, I think it's too late. They are supposed to be sent anywhere from 6-10 months before. You are 5 months away and now it's time to get your invitations ordered. STDs were meant to be sent to OOT guests or for when you have a holiday wedding. Since you have neither don't add this expense or extra to-do item to your list.

I definitely wouldn't waste the money.

Send them if you want to, but I would call those who are from out of town or only send them to your in laws who seem to “forget” the date and also send them to the out of town people

It sounds like they are just trying to start a conversation with you, and don't have anything more interesting to talk about. I doubt it would stop them from asking, or they would just move on to "what's the menu again?" This late in the game, I wouldn't bother with STD.

Generally save the dates go out 6mo before and invitations are 2-3mo before. I would save the money and just send invites. If you really want to send save the dates, send them very soon. I sent my to all my guests, locals and out of town save the dates, it doesn't have to be just out of town guests.

I would send them out just to give people a heads up that it is coming as long as you can get them out within like the next two weeks. If you don't already have all the addresses and what not then I wouldn't even bother and maybe just send the invites out slightly early.

I would still send them out within the next few weeks.

I did STDs and people still ask me when the wedding is but mostly as a conversation starter. I wouldn't send them out now with your invites going out around June. Maybe just send your FMIL and FSIL an email with the date so if they ask again you can say I sent it to you.

My sister keeps asking me among others and I sent out STDs. Don't bother.

Try creating one online. I used canva.com to design ours and posted it on FB since we also have very few out of town guest.
I plan on printing the Save the dates for my in-laws an mom since they are from a different generation and like paper version of these things.

If you do decide to send out something - I just ordered my Save the Dates from VistaPrint. Use code VPMARKETING and I got 100 postcards for $18! Then after I made that purchase I had a 'Bonus Buy' opportunity where I could order another 150 for $15 free shipping. Score!

It's rather tight to send out STDs and since your guests are mainly local, I personally wouldn't spend the money on them. You are also not so far from sending out invites. I also suspect your FMIL will still ask about the date :-) I sent out STDs 7.5 months ahead and I still get those questions - though more as an intro to how is all the planning going?!

I also agree with sending an email STD via email or social media. But to purchase them I think they are late and it's another expense you have to worry about, plus sending them in the mail.

If you send them right away it'll be ok, but it's pushing it a bit since you'll want to send invites in 2 months or less- and if you don't think it's needed, maybe do e-vites for save the dates and save yourself the headache of having to squeeze all that in.

I don't think you need to send STD's; it just sounds like your F-in-laws are being ignorant.

That's my wedding date too!
