Save the dates - how early is too early !

Nandi, on February 16, 2020 at 6:25 AM Posted in Planning 0 7
Hello everyone ! I hope planning is going smoothly for you all!


I’m a bit confused, because everywhere I’ve read mostly says that save the dates to out between 8-10 months before the wedding date. However, I also use The Knot app, particularly the checklist, which says that I should be sending out save the dates by the end of next month. That would put us as exactly a year out (it’s not a destination wedding, it’ll be 40 minutes away from mostly everyone). Which timeline do I follow? 🤔🤔😕

    It's it's not a holiday weekend, destination, or peak wedding month I would suggest the 8 month mark

    If you're not having a destination wedding, 6-8 months is the recommended time to send save the dates.

    We sent out STD’s 6 months before our wedding. Anytime 6-8 months before is appropriate.

    We sent our out of town STDs at about a year. We sent our local/semi-local ones at about 8 months.

    We sent ours 10 months out since we are a holiday weekend, and also the most popular wedding weekend of the year. The app told us to send out around Christmas, but we sent out right after the holidays, first week of Jan.

    We sent ours out 8 months before the wedding because a majority of our guests have to travel over an hour to get to us and it's in a small town with limited hotel rooms available Smiley smile
