Wedding invitations out too early?

I would worry about people forgetting to RSVP or losing them. Did you send out STD's?

Have you sent STDs yet?

You're probably going to be chasing people down like crazy for missing RSVPs.

If you send them out now you risk the chance of people forgetting they have the invitation which may lead to you having to call around for a response. I think I would wait

Send out STDs (save the dates) if you want people to keep the date open. If you have a lot of people coming in from out of town, it's ok to send them a bit earlier but I wouldn't send them too much before the first or second week of May or you may have a lot of people who forget to RSVP.

I was told not to send mine out yet for my May wedding. I think next month is way to early to mail for August, especially late August. At least wait until early June.

6-8 weeks in Pleanty of time. We sent ours our 8 weeks early, and gave a month to rsvp,only waiting on a few to get back to us.

We have chosen to forgo the STDs so this leaves me more confused

We didn't do STD, the few who lived abroad I emailed about a year early. Friends and family were told about the wedding whenever we met them. Then just sent out the official invites as mentioned above. Most of our guest live between 2-4 hour drive away and are all staying one or two nights.they are mostly coming from the other side of the country.

6-8 weeks before the date is normal. Since you didn't send STD, you could probably send them at 9 or 10 weeks before the wedding date especially for out-of-towners? I think it is too early now to send the actual invitations though. People might lose the RSVP cards.

Mine are going out June 1 for our 8-13 wedding, next month is too early

I think it's too early, but i understand wanting to send them out...I'm feeling the same way!

I agree with SarahMarie. The longer you give guests to RSVP, they'll forget about them. 6-8 weeks before is more appropriate.

I wouldn't send more than six weeks before the rsvp deadline. I know you're excited and want people to show up but I've learned from these boards that sending too early actually increases your chances of no shows and folks forgetting to RSVP.

Next month is too early. I sent mine today for my May 21st wedding. 6-10 weeks before the wedding is the norm time to send them out

My date is 12 days before yours and I haven't even ordered my invitations. The plan is to send them out the middle of May for an RSVP deadline of July 27.

Yes, there is definitely a point where it is too early. You are far too early right now for an August wedding.

May sounds too early. Most weddings I've been invited to the RSVP Deadline was around a month before the wedding and we received the invitation about a month before the RSVP. We will mail our invites in mid-April and our RSVP date May 20 which is about 3 weeks before the wedding.

I get that you're excited, but focus that excitement on something else l like putting together any decor pieces your DIYing. Because yes it is way too early. If you're really "that" excited and are afraid people will make plans on your wedding date, just go to paperless post real fast and send out e-save the dates. They're free to send as well.

We sent our invites out 2nd week of January for our March wedding. Our RSVP deadline was 10 days before our wedding, a month before is way too early for an RSVP deadline, most vendors/venues want final head counts a WEEK before.

A lot CAN happen in a month as well, which is why you don't set the RSVP deadline for a month before. A month before our wedding we had like 30 RSVPs come back, we ended up with over 100 guests...

6-8 weeks is when you should send out your invitations.

Also, even though we waited until January to send our invites, people still "lost" it and had to ask what the address of our venue was or where to RSVP. ughh some people....
