Is there a "too soon" to do save the dates?

I did 10 months for our destination wedding happening in Europe. Everyone seems to be fine with it...haven't heard of anyone saying they wish they had known sooner.

I sent mine 10 months in advanced.

I would wait. About 80% of our guests are OOT and we just sent our out two days ago. They can't book any flights this early so sending them out still doesn't do much planning. If they need the date for taking time off, let VIPs know and wait until about 8-10 months out to send STD

I sent save the dates last week so 7 months out for us.

We did ours 10 months in advance and I found it was perfect timing

I think a year is more than enough time. We have people trying to come from 5 continents (we travel ALOT and I have lived on 3 continents) we will be sending them out 11 months before. When people ask we tell them but too soon can cause issues in my oppinon

I'm getting married one week before you, and I'm playing around with STD designs now. But I'm not planning on sending them out until mid Feb 2018 after the holidays. That would put us about 7 months out which I think is plenty of time. (And most of our guests are OOT - 4 are out of the country.) Most people know our date already so the STD is really not super necessary actually. But hey, we paid for engagement photos lol

We aren't doing save the dates. We'll use our engagement photos for the thank you cards. I did tell people on Facebook messenger to save the date.

I think a phone call to the people that you really really want there and are concerned about would be appropriate just to give them a heads up. My friends did this with us and I was happy about it. We still got an std with wedding website info and location and what not. Especially if you are doing photograph stds its still nice to send them out even if youve already told your guests because many family members might loke to have a photo of you guys anyway.

Once they are sent you are stuck with that guest list, a lot can change between now and then, I mean some people we thought we'd invite we decided not too when we were cutting numbers. We didn't do STDs but told all of our families and close friends about the date. My cousin is getting married in Dec three hours drive for us. They didn't do STDs either, but we were told about the date. Also got a text last week saying that as we were travelling a discounted room was reserved in the hotel we just have to confirm with the hotel by a certain date if we want it or not or it's is released on sale again. an invite will follow at the appropriate time for that wedding.
