Hello! My FH and I are getting married on June 26, 2021. We've had this date, church, and venue booked since November 2019. My question is...when should we send save the dates? Most articles I've read have said 6-8 months, but I'm leaning toward 10 months, which would be August. A majority of our extended family and friends know that we are getting married next summer, but having an official save the date out makes it feel more official. The other issue to is that we originally had this May planned to do engagement pictures, but that may not happened depending when our state eases on the stay at home order. However, our engagement photographer is a family friend, so we're hoping to even do a few quick pictures soon to get something for the save the date.
Anyway, given all of this, does August sound appropriate to send the save the dates? For other June 2021 brides that haven't sent theres out yet, what is your plan? Thanks in advance!
