Save the dates!

So, our wedding is 11/21/2020 and we are getting married Local but our wedding is the weekend before thanksgiving. I know they say 6-8 months for local affairs but we were thinking more like 8-10 months since it falls so close to the holiday, thoughts?

    I sent my save the dates 10 months out for the weekend before thanksgiving this year, and half my guests still declined. Super frustrating.

    Oh darn!! That’s definitely a concern and We figured the timing isn’t the best but luckily we don’t have a minimum requirement since we chose off season, thankfully. We have a few out of town guests and we’re figuring they may not want to fly out which is understandable but most of our friends and family seem ok with the date but we’ll see 🤷🏽‍♀️

    We didn’t have a minimum either so it saved us money and we had fun with the people who were there. But it was still a bummer.

    We sent ours out around 9 months. No angry mob showed up at our door to tell us we did it wrong.

    We sent our STDs out about 10 months in advance as our wedding was 3 weeks before Christmas.

    My wedding was the weekend before Thanksgiving this year. We sent out STDs 8 month in advance and had no issues.

    Our date is 9/12/2020 and I am waiting to send them out after the New Year to avoid any hiccups in delivery.
