  Invitations go out 6-8 weeks before the wedding.  I think we sent ours out around the 8 week mark because our wedding was over a holiday weekend (Labor Day).

  6-8 weeks.  I'm not sure why the knot changed their checklist to 3 months.

  Navy, I'm not sure why the knot changed it either. But, some of my OOT guests have been asking when they should expect the invites.

  yeah, I had people say they thought they weren't getting an invitation because I sent them so "late."

  Your wedding is June 12.
  
  So your invitations go in the mail on MAY 1 (six weeks before).
  
  And your RSVP date is MAY 22 (three weeks before)
  
  See below:Q.How far in advance should you send invitations? What is the proper date to ask for the reply card?
  A. Invitations should go out six weeks before the wedding -- that gives guests plenty of time to clear their schedules for the day and make travel arrangements if they are out-of-towners. It also lets you make the RSVP date a little earlier -- say three weeks before the wedding date -- so you can get a final head count and start making a seating chart (if you'll have one) before the final-week-before-the-wedding crunch begins.
