Hi, I just got engaged back in November and we are planning a semi-DW. It will be local for FI's family and most of his guests, but international for my family and some guests.
We don't plan on getting married until July 2011 so I feel like I have A LOT of time. I'm not really worried about the venue booking up or anything like that. I just want to make sure that I give my family enough time to save money and make travel plans if they would like to attend.
So I guess I'm wondering, when would you suggest sending out save the dates? Would it be okay to send them earlier to people who will need to travel. And then either waiting or skipping them for the guests who are local? Or maybe I should just give them the travel information ahead of time?
Any other tips would be appreciated too!
