Too early to send invites?

I'd send them out 8 weeks in advance and give people 4 weeks to RSVP. I think it really depends on each situation exactly when you send them out, but now is definitely too soon for your July wedding. I'd say mid-May at earliest.

I'm doing June 1st for our Aug 13 date

Unless you are planning a destination wedding I would stick with no earlier than 8 weeks. Yes their plans could change between when you sent out your STDs and invitations but anything that could impact someone enough to change their plans to attend your wedding is going to happen regardless of when they receive their invitation.

Their plans might change but yours won't. The purpose of the STD is for them to SAVE THE DATE. It's different if you did not provide accommodation info. In which case you need to figure out how to get that info out so the plan accordingly. No invite needed for that. You can do a detail email for them.

I think 8 weeks would be good- especially if you sent STDs. They should have that dated marked if they're coming

I'm sending my invitations out for my August 20th wedding on May 16th- Roughly 12 weeks ahead of time. I need to give final numbers to my reception venue a couple weeks ahead of time, so our RSVP date is July 15th.

The purpose of the STD was to inform of your wedding date and for people to save the date if they would attend. I would stick to the normal 8 weeks but if you want to maybe 10 weeks out but longer seems too much. It takes away from the STD purpose..

When you mention things can change it definitely can - given too much time maybe people will jump to RSVP and then something comes up and you have last minute cancellations. Therefore too much time can also backfire.

We share the same date!! We also sent out save the dates and are getting the same response! We are doing 8 weeks and they have til July 1st for RSVP. If they want to come they will have already saved the date they don't need a reminder every few months.

I've seen out my invitations 3 months ahead and gave until May 1st toRSVP because I want to be sure who's coming , so I can get the food and alcohol accordingly. I'm doing my wedding on my back yard so I have to be sure

My wedding is in June. I'm sending invites out the beginning of March.

Honestly to me 6 weeks out is not enough time for mailing it invites seeing as that most rsvp's should be set for a well before you need numbers to contact those who you did not get the rsvp back. Ex 2 weeks to get delivered (I know extreme but it happens) that's already a month before the wedding and leaving them 2 weeks to decide. This is if they are not gone on vacation when the invite arrives. Yes people have the std but they still forget and people forget to send in the rsvp. To me 8-12 weeks is more appropriate.

The last wedding invitation I received was about 3 months early. I can't think of when I received any others!

I'm planning on sending mine late summer for my October wedding because 90% of our wedding is coming from out of town and I'm including the hotel block info in the invite pocket folder. We're also having an additional religious ceremony the day prior that family in NY needs the information for. So my plan is early to give everyone all the extra information.

We're sending ours out in early March. We have a 4/18 rsvp deadline for our 6/18 wedding per our cooridnator's recommendation because we didn't want to stress out about chasing down rsvps for 250 people at the last minute. I know it' early, but most of my family is traveling so they should know by then whether they are coming.

We're sending ours out mid March due to a lot of out of town guests. I'm getting married right before the Republican convention starts so I want guests to be able to make travel plans especially since a couple hotels are already sold out.

We are sending ours 2nd week in March for April 20th RSVP 99 percent of my family is out of state
