My wedding is in the middle of January and I am wondering when it would be appropriate to send out my formal invitations? I am trying to avoid the invitation getting lost with holiday cards or forgotten about because of the holidays. From what I've seen, it is appropriate to send out invitations about 6 weeks - 2 months beforehand. However that would put it right in line with Thanksgiving and other holidays. Is there a way to avoid this without sending out my invites too early? Or should I just trust my guests will be able to handle everything by themselves?
