I just got a wedding invitation in the mail for a friend's wedding in October...it's local (for me...they are both from Florida, so a lot of family will be from OOT).  I thought it was really early, expecially since she sent out STDs.

That's pretty early...I sent mine out early too but it was because I knew my FI's family was not used to RSVP-ing...but not 4 months early...I sent them in April.

That does seem REALLY early.

I'm doubtful, but maybe she'll have an easier time with RSVPs since there's so much time.

I think she might actually have a harder time with it because people think "hey, I have lots of time to figure this out," and then they might just forget because of the amount of time that's passed.

4 months seems crazy early, especially since they sent STDs! My cousin sent his invitation out 3 months before and I thought that was really early. I agree wtih ceglare about guests forgetting to RSVP b/c of the time. I don't think there is any way to get guests to RSVP on time! We just received two responses this week, and our RSVP date was the 1st of June.

That's odd! What is the RSVP date??

wow - yesterday I got my invite for my friend's wedding in mid-August! It seems crazy to get an invite for an October wedding already

I would be worried about people RSVPing Yes now, and then dropping out later, and vice versa.... yikes.  Way too soon.

<div>I know, right?  Especially because it's a Friday wedding (Starts at 4:30).  People normally don't know about any important work things this far out.</div>

I did mine 3 months early but only because our wedding is at 5:30 on a Friday and we invited lots of international guests (my parents are immigrants), so I wanted to make sure everyone had plenty of time to arrange time off for travel, etc.

Is their wedding on a non-traditional day, like during the week or on a holiday?

I didnt send out Save the dates and i mailed my invites 3 months in advance. It gives people more time to save, make arrangements etc.
