Wanting a dw but dates??

Hey y’all! So my FH and I are really looking forward to doing a destination wedding. I’m trying to decide on dates, summer 2021 or wait until may 2022? Is that too far ahead of time to wait two years or is it just enough to let my guests get their reservations together. Really do not know what to do. If y’all have had a Destination wedding, let me know y’all’s timelines and how it worked out!!!😊

    Either would be perfectly fine, it all just depends on what works best for your budgets. If you decide to go with Summer 2021, I would have your Save The Dates sent around Summer/Fall of 2020 to give your guests plenty of time to prepare financially and book travel/lodging. Otherwise, you can wait until Summer/Fall of 2021 to send them out (about 8-12 months before your wedding) Smiley smile

    As Amber mentioned, it depends on what works for you and your budget. I got engaged August 2018 and planned a destination wedding (live in NYC, getting married in Charleston, SC) for 10/10/2020. Although it's a 2-year wait, it allowed us to truly research venues so that we can do site visits and book the big things early (e.g., venue, wedding planner, photographer, etc.).

    Only thing I experienced was that it also put us in the mind frame of "oh we have 2 years, we can do this later" and we put a lot of things off until the 1-year mark. For example, I wanted to send my save-the-dates in October so we could give our guests a year to plan, but didn't end up sending them out until right before Thanksgiving because we waited too long to put an official guest list together - and that was with nagging/pushing my fiance to give me his guest list haha
