My fiance and I are getting married on January 24. And so 4 weeks
before the wedding would be Christmas Eve and not the day we will be
sending the invites. Some family members on his side have said that we
would send the invites the day after Christmas, and my side has said
before Christmas.
The RSVP date on the RSVP cards is Jan 5. And so I was thinking I should send them a few days before Christmas, but is that the polite way to do it? I want to make sure they have enough time to respond.
The
other thing is that my fiance and I right now live 3 hours from my
parents and 2.5 from his, and almost all of the invites are going to one
of the two cities, but also there are a good number going to people in
states across the country and one even is going to Europe. Should I
send the invites that have to travel farther at an earlier date? And
should I get home addresses for college students or send their ivites
before they get out of school?
I am so confused, and neither side of
the family has been very helpful with the wedding planning (my side has
severe medical problems as do I, and so they cant really help much, and
his side either doesn't actually want us to get married but is
begrudgingly doing what they need to do though not really talking to us
about it, or they "dont want to intrude upon his mother.") So any help I
can get with this will be wonderful.
Thank you so much!!!
