    Wedding party was set within a month of getting engaged (March this year) Save the Dates will go out in March for our November wedding.

    It'll be the wedding party since they all live out of state and need more notice than the in-state guests.

    I made an ornament with pictures of us in it. Tried to keep with the Christmas-y theme!

    Asking my wedding party. I talked to my sisters and cousin about it back when we first got engaged and I asked my friend a few months ago. I just sent my STDs at the end of November.

    Not doing save the dates, don't get the added expense, so asking the people to be in the bridal party

    We asked our wedding party a little over a month after getting engaged so we definitely did that first!

    Wedding party. I don’t think we will be sending save the dates; however, it’s a year out from the wedding and I already have my bridal party. Save the dates, if we do send them, would definitely go out a little closer to the wedding.
