Do you feel sorry for our husbands, too? Oh, and you should probably start caring more. There's a reason people are regulars here (and Captain Save-a-Noobs don't go over so well).

To the bolded, who better to get wedding advice from than from someone who has been through the entire process from proposal to honeymoon? Better yet, us married ladies have wedding photos for you to look through so you can see how our ideas and vendors turned out!

Oh well cwag was actually the one that said "just go away" so idk maybe you could learn reading comprehension. But keep getting all bent out of shape with the yelling and exclamation points and all.

Cwag, this happened to fiance and I last year. We got the invite in the beginning of July for an October 20th wedding. The RSVP date was September first, a full seven weeks before the wedding. To top it off, my fiance was b- listed. Hee was never officially invited and I didn't find out they had room for him until they messaged me to get my late RSVP (which was too far in advance for me to know my work schedule).

In early November, I received an invitation for a late June wedding.  I think I am on the super A list.

I don't know the couple who sent the invites, it's quite possible that they are planning to b-list. But I would like to say that that is not necessarily the case just because of an early invite early rsvp date. My wedding is at a B&B. There are 19 rooms that all need to be booked 2 months before the wedding (a stupid policy I hate) we are inviting 100 people so I'm not at all worried that the rooms will get booked or that we will have to end up paying for unused rooms. But I do think that people book rooms when they get their invites so if I were to wait until 8 weeks to send the invites I would already be past the 2 month deadline to put a deposit on rooms. Hopefully this isn't going to be an issue anyway. I'm planning to send save the dates at 8 months and I'm hoping that guests will be on the ball with booking. But my point is you never know what ridiculous deadlines are being imposed on brides and grooms and sometimes they aren't doing anything wrong when they send invites early.

I will say it again. I am 100% positive they are b-listing. She said something along the lines of being anxious to receive 'no' rsvp's so she could start gradually dropping other invites in the mail.

Actually, I thought the same thing, and I actually think that in my "The Knot Book of Wedding Lists" book, it tells a person to send them out 3 months prior to the wedding. Strange!

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: I got an invitation in the mail last night... : You thought wrong.  Invitations go out 6-8 weeks prior to the event. OP received the invitation almost 13 weeks prior to the event. I would probably lose the invitation long before I even got a chance to RSVP since I have no idea what my plans might be in March right now.
