in April 2012 Weddings
Finally finshed all of my invitatiosn including Version 2 (because the FI cut a roast beef too close to the invitations splattering juices all over the tops of about 11 pocket folds. I just cut off the folds and used the pocket to hold the inserts and belly banded the thing together) Hurray! Now time to think about when to send out, I hate the 6-8 week rule! How is anyone supposed to book time off and know, thats way too soon for my life, I think I'll hand deliver them when I head home next week :D

    Congrats! I just started working on mine too!

    The 6-8 week rule exists because the etiquette gods say they'll forget about it if it's too far in advance. To remedy this, a lot of people do Save the Dates so they can let people know 6-9 months ahead to make travel plans, ask off from work, etc. 

    However, my FMIL thought it was proper to send invitations at 3 months out, and I have seen the 3 month rule elsewhere too (even on this site). My thinking is the 3 month rule was before people did STDs, had Facebook/texting, and so forth. 

    If I was you (assuming you did not do STDs) and you are worried about people making arrangements, I would maybe give them out later this month or early February. It'll be fine!
