Invitations??

ndruley

So my mom and I have been arguing over when exactly to mail out our invitations...our wedding date is July 23rd but the RSVP date is by July 1st so when exactly do I mail them???

6-8 weeks before the wedding. I would not send them any earlier than 10 weeks before, and I would only send them that early if you have a lot of oot guests and didn't send STDs.

I would say mid-May

I am also getting married on July 23 and the RSVP date is June 1. I am sending the invites out by the end of this week. Actually stamping right now.

<div>Did you mean July 1?  'Cause June 1 means you want people to RSVP 7.5 weeks before the event.</div>

Send them around May 23d. And bigsmileychick, you should really reconsider following your plan. Sending invitations so early with a response date so early isn't good planning. Its flat out rude.

Since she's sending them out now, I'm thinking she did mean June 1. I would also venture to guess that there's a B list involved.

Ditto banana.  Really, really rethink that plan, smileychick.
