Save The Date Question

Hey guys,

I have a question. My fiancé and I are getting married a little less than 6 months from now and we have yet to send out the save the dates. My fiance has been in charge of getting addresses of people he wants to invite to the wedding, but like most guys he hasn't gotten any addresses yet. lol. I tried to white page some people but the rest, I could not find. We designe save the dates My fiance told me recently that he would like his mom to do his side of the save the dates because she really wants to be more involved with the wedding. I had no problem with that so I agreed and proceeded to do the save the dates for my side. Now, a month later, I have completed all of mine and my future mother in law hasn't started any on their side yet. My question is, would it be taboo if I went ahead and sent mine off? I'm not coming from a bad place--I love my fiancé and his family, and I know he's the type of groom who is interested in the process but usually says "whatever you want honey" and then goes about his way. I just don't like being late, and I know save the dates usually need to be sent about 6 months before the wedding, and plus I have a lot of family and friend who will be coming from out of town. I know it will be useful to get these out sometime soon.

Anyways, thanks in advance for your help. :-)

    I think I'd mention to his mother that your STDs are ready to mail and see if she wants you to mail her side at the same time.

    <div>This.  Also, save the dates don't have to go to your entire guestlist.  Your FI sounds EXACTLY  like my FI, and I've learned that if I give him deadlines I can work with (and then don't nag him until the deadine passes) he usually gets the info to me in time, even if it's at the last minute.</div>

    Thank God for me finding this! Im getting married April 6th, and Im in the EXACT same boat. Luckily my fiance got the address, however he's also in charge of printing the labels which has not happend. Hoffse, that is the best idea on here that I've read in a while! I'll start givng my FI dead lines! I also thought I needed to send the entire guest list a STD. I'm glad that someone else thinks its ok not to!
