Well I noticed Sunni mentioned in a different thread that she paid her deposit for her invites and it got me wondering when I should order mines? I'm 10 months away..opinions?

We are ordering ours at the 9 month mark (later this month). Im getting them shipped to my mum in Canada and we are going to assemble them on my scouting trip so that I can mail them out to guests 6 months in advance.

Our etsy vendor mentions 8 weeks to design and print - then postage. Im sure you can wait a bit longer if you are sending invites out later.

Oh wow then maybe I should start looking since it can take 8 weeks! Good to know

We are going with Woodlark Designs poker themed cards (we have a vegas theme) however we will be buying the stickers from a zazzle vendor. See links below.

Valerie, did you send Save The Dates? If so, you probably have some flexibility in sending the invites. My six month mark is soon, and I hope to send out my invites sometime this summer. Sent out save the dates around 10 month mark.
I ordered my invites from Zazzle but am going to get some enclosures from Vista Print I think. I like to coordinate but mix-and-match. The Zazzle invites I think I received in a week or so give or take.

Geez, I wasn't even engaged at 10 months out!

Agree about sending save-the-dates as early as possible, then you can be flexible with invitations. If you're getting married in May 2014 (which I think is 10 months from now), I might send in January so that it doesn't get caught up in holiday mail/Christmas planning and get lost. Meaning I wouldn't stress about ordering them until the fall, but that's just me.

I'm in Cali just like you, and have family that needed to make arrangements coming from Colorado, Oregon, New Hampshire, and So Cal. I think anything before 7 months is too soon, guests may lose the invite's and bug you for the details once it gets closer. I would suggest sending them no sooner than the 5 month mark If you sent STD's i think that's enough for your guests to start planning there flights/hotels. For weddings near home the suggested mailing is 6-8 wks ahead of time. We sent out invites 3.5 months before our Wedding with an RSVP date 8 wks before the wedding.

Yea All of my dads family is coming from Colorado and everyone else is from los Angeles ..I'm probably going to send them out around early October

Yeah I placed my deposit which starts the process working on wording, materials, colors and so forth with the vendor then it takes about 8 weeks to receive. I am then sending the envelopes off to have them nicely addressed (can't recall what she's called at the moment lol) which takes another few weeks. I am looking at sending my invitations out at the beginning of October with RSVP date of February 1st.
