When to invite..too soon?

mariathomaswedding

Hi ladies. This is just a question for myself because I want to know! My wedding is in November of 2014. When do I start creating/sending invites out? We already made a list of people we will be inviting and are in the process of booking the venue...I know over a year in advance is way too early to invite people..even a year is. When's a good time to do it? Suggestions please!!

6-8 weeks before the wedding. IMHO (though this isn't proper etiquette), it can be stretched to up to 10 weeks out if you didn't send Save the Dates and/or your wedding is on a holiday weekend.

Feel free to send out Save the Dates up to a year in advance though. If I were you, I'd probably send some out in late January after the holiday card rush is over.

Ditto PPs...6-8 weeks is standard, so you are correct in thinking that a year is WAY too soon.

Or you could send them out with holiday cards

We have save the dates going out this weekend for our May 2014 wedding. But, it's a destination wedding so everyone is traveling. We figured the heads up would be nice. The actual invitations will go at the normal time.
