My fiancee and I have finally set the date, for August 2015. We live in Europe, but as I am from the states, have decided to have our wedding stateside. One of the reasons we decided on the long engagement was to give lots of notice to our European friends and family, so that as many people as possible could have as much time as possible to think if they were able to come, and then be able to organize and plan it. As we have the venue and date locked, I found really nice and original STDs that I fell in love with, and we are now waiting for the samples of them before making a final order. Because the place and time should not change, it was not a problem to order them in advance, this way we will have them for the moment it is time to send them. As our situation is a bit out of the ordinary, his side coming from Europe and mine from the states, many people already know about these plans by word of mouth. However, and although many people already know, we are not sure when it would be appropriate to send out our official STDs. I have been looking on the board and it seems the timeline is normally approximately 8 months in advance, however, given our situation, we weren't sure when was the "most appropriate" moment to send them, so that our guests have an "official" pre-invitation and can really begin to decide if they are willing to make the travel or not. Any one have a similar situation, or know someone who has and can provide some sound advice??
