When to send save the dates

Save the dates go out 6-8 months before the wedding. You could extend it to 10 months ahead if you're having a destination wedding.

We are June 6, 2020. Save the dates are going out the end of September and invites are going out in February.

View Quoted Comment Ok so I should probably start sending mine out soon. Thanks for the insight!

View Quoted Comment Ok thank you! It’s not a DW but I do have a few out of town guests so I should probably get them out soon.

I’m 4/18/20 and we sent out our save the dates last month, we’re doing destination for our guests. But now is a good time for you to send them out!

6-8 months before the wedding.

I would send them this month to give guests enough time to actually "save" your date. I personally don't think less than 8 months away is enough notice for someone to avoid making vacation/other plans that would conflict

I just sent mine out for next March. Anytime between 6-12 months is good.

My wedding is almost two years from now, so I had the same question. I was told that save the dates are meant to be a place holder for wedding invitations when it’s a longer engagement. So from what I have been told, send those 12-8 months out with a note that the formal invite is coming. Then send the invite about 3-4 months in advance. Hope this helps!

I'd send them anytime between now and October, ideally on the earlier end since you have out-of-town guests coming.

We sent ours out about 11 months in advance.

We're date twins! I'm sending mine out next week!

Thanks for the advice ladies! Looks I’ll be sending them out shortly ☺️

We sent ours out at 9 months because we have some OOT guests. Anywhere between 6-10 months is normal.

Hey Tiffany, I'm getting married on April 18, 2020 and I already sent mine out 2 weeks ago!! You can them out now or maybe even August or September!

We're sending ours out a year in advance because its labor day weekend. I think you're fine to send them out as soon as you're ready!

April 25,2020 here! Congratulations! Going to send mine out in October.
