When to mail wedding invitations?

Crazyinlove<3, on April 27, 2016 at 12:29 PM Posted in Planning 0 8

Our wedding is on September 17th of this year. I was wondering when is an appropriate time frame to send our invitations. I know a lot of people advise 6-8 weeks in advance, but that seems too short to me. Would I be crazy to send out my invitations in the middle to end of June? When is your wedding and when are you sending out your invites?

    6-8 weeks in advance is right on the money Smiley smile I know it's sooo tempting to want to know sooner, but a lot of people can't commit to their plans further in advance, so you wouldn't get the most accurate idea of who can actually come!

    Did you send out save the dates?

    Mid-July. 6-8 weeks in normal so around July 15th.

    IMO I think since it is summer and people plan a lot of traveling, I think late June would be fine. I wouldn't think it was too early. Especially if you're like me and have friends who take forever to reply.

    ETA: I would still keep the RSVP date the same, just send them out a bit sooner.

    Yes, we sent out save the dates. A lot of our guests live out of town and we are getting married at a smaller hotel that books up fast, so I wanted to make sure everyone gets a room in time.

    I think you can send earlier if you are having a DW or if a lot of your guests are OOT. Otherwise, 6-8 weeks should be perfect.

    My wedding is the weekend before yours, and I plan to send them end of June.

    @Crazyinlove - did you include a wedding website on your save the dates, and the hotel info on the wedding website? As a guest I almost always book my flights and hotel before the invite is sent based off on what is on the website!

    We did include our wedding website on our save the dates, but not a lot of people haven't booked the hotel yet. I feel like a lot of people haven't even checked out the website, especially our older guests.
