Save the dates advice needed!

Emily, on April 11, 2020 at 9:36 PM Posted in Planning 0 7
Our wedding date is May 29th 2021. With so many people rescheduling their weddings for a year from now & it being a holiday weekend (Memorial Day) when should we send save the dates? We have them already and can easily be mailed. We mailed them already to family in Ireland so they can keep an eye on flights. However, I’m not sure when to send save the dates for guests in the states! Is there ever too early to send them?

    I’m getting married in the same day and I’ve also been wondering this. We were originally supposed to use the engagement photos for the save the dates but unfortunately our session was indefinitely postponed. I was thinking about ordering them soon because we were told it may take longer to arrive than before the pandemic. I was thinking of sending them by early June to the far guests and some who need to plan ahead for arrangements but my parents have said they may think it will help to send by end of May to out of town guest and early June to all else.

    I’m so conflicted! I have a cousin who was meant to get married this May, but postponed it to May 29 2021, my date! Now some family have to choose which to go to! I might do it sooner then later as it’s a holiday weekend. We didn’t get to do engagement photos either! Smiley sad

    I say the earlier the better so people can make arrangements I would send them out end of May or June I always appreciate knowing something in advance to make necessary arrangements! I sent my save the dates out 11 months in advance even though now I have to change everything but I’m going to send my changes out as quick as possible so people are aware.

    Ours is 3/27/21 and I plan to get them out by first week of May! I know it seems early but we rather be early and sit on someone’s fridge for months than be too late!

    I say send them!! You're right - with so many people rescheduling their celebrations I'd make sure your wedding is the first thing on your guests' calendars!
