I was talking to my Matron of Honor this morning and she asked me when was I going to send out the Save the dates, I told her around Aug 2014 since many of our guests/family are out of town I figured a year would be enough time. She told me that that was too early and I should send it out in January 2015 so that they wont forget.
When will you send our your Save the Dates? (If any)
Re: When will you send out Save The Dates?
Our area is a very popular tourist destination in summer, and rooms fill up quickly. About 40% are from out of town, and they are mostly family so they already are informed. Our Save The Date was more of a way to let everyone know they'll be formally invited closer to the wedding than anything else.
