When are you planning to send invitations?

With all of the response card posts lately, I guess it's safe to say that invitations are on everyone's brain.  When are you planning to send yours out?

I am thinking by April 14th with a response date of May 25th.  Should I send them out earlier?  Later?  How much time are you giving for responses?

Re: When are you planning to send invitations?

  • I'm sending them out two months before the wedding.

    Mail invites - May 1
    RSVPs due - June 1
    Wedding - July 1

  • I have no idea. We are getting married on 6/30. So I am thinking I want them back by 5/30 but I have no idea when I am sending them out. Any ideas?

  • My invitations are going out April 2nd and asking for an RSVP date of May 9th. I think sending your invites out the 14th is fine, especially if you have people from all over being invited, it also gives all your guests enough time to plan & make accommodations.

    I think that's a safe enough timeline for me.

    Speaking of, the proofs were approved so they should be here in a few weeks...

  • FI talked to our coordinator about this (yes, I realize what a lucky girl I am to have a DOC and a FI who likes to call her) and she recommended we get them out by early March for our 6/30 wedding since most folks are from out of town.

  • I was thinking end of March.  RSVP May 9, wedding June 9

  • because of the nature of our wedding we sent out invites super early.  We are having our wedding in Yosemite National Park in the busiest month, so lodging is going to be a problem.  We sent the initial invites in november?  And I just mailed out the last wave of invites today.  There are only a few places left closeby, so we had to be a little pushy!

  • I thought 6 months before is STDs, 3 months invites and then I gave myself a month prior to the WD for RSVP - this gives me plenty of time to follow up if someone doesn't RSVP and get a final headcount.
