How Early Can You Send Out Save-The-Dates?

Hi all you Knotties!! My fiance and I just put our first down payment on our reception/ceremony location. We were going to get married next year, but decided to push it back to 2014. Now we want to get married in peak season-so we can have a gorgeous outdoor ceremony. Well with getting married in peak season we risk paying more for a Saturday wedding. So we decided that we are going to have a Friday evening wedding-just so we can save on money (since we are paying for it by ourselves).

Now, of course I have a million and one things running through my head. I was just wondering how early is too early to send out save the dates? I have a lot of my family members from out of town-I know they would come in with advance notice. If any of you have any insite or experenced the same thing please let me know your advise or ideas. I would appreciate it greatly

Thanks,

Jenn

One year is the absolute earliest, but 9 months out makes more sense.

But there's no reason you can't informally tell people 2014 now.

Six months. Any more than that makes you look pretentious, like you are demanding that these people plan their entire life around your one-night wedding.

If most of your guests are out of town, you could get away with sending them out a tiny big earlier... maybe 7 or 8 months. Otherwise, 6 months at the max. I sent mine out at the 5-month mark.
