So I know we won't be sending our invitations for several months, but FI and I are inviting two friends/family in Europe to the wedding, one in Poland and one in Italy. I am starting to realize that those invitations may take significantly longer to arrive (and then it will take significantly longer for the response cards to get back to us).
Our cake baker/caterer require a final head count much earlier than normal, so our RSVP date is August 11th for a September 22nd wedding (too early, I know, but they didn't give me much of a choice). I can't change the RSVP date either, the invitations have already been printed/arrived. When should I send my normal invitations and when should I send my Europe-bound invitations?
