May 2013 Weddings

STD timeline for holiday weekend?

Our wedding is May 26th, the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. The more I read boards on wedding websites (for May 2013 brides specifically), the more worried I get about needing to have sent our STDs yesterday! Since it is a holiday weekend, what are your suggestions? If you are doing them, when are you sending yours?

Re: STD timeline for holiday weekend?

  • We're doing them and sending them around the end of September, beginning of October.  Mostly because most of the people invited to ours live close by.

  • We took our E-pics mid May and have seen 2 proofs.  We selected a different look so now are awaiting that proof.  This process is taking about 6-8 weeks with out photographer.  We are sending STDs out mid August.  Our wedding is on a Friday so not only do we want to give OOT guests ample time to make arrangements, we also want to give local guests time to make arrangements.  The STDs may also cut down the "when is your wedding?" questions.  LOL!

    Happy Planning!
  • I already sent mine since my wedding isthe friday of memorial day weekend and about 85% of my guest are OOT. It really just depends on your circumstances.

  • Ours is May 25 - also Memorial Day weekend.

    We're anticipating on getting ours out mid to end of September. The majority of our guests are local.

    I think it really depends on how many OOT guests you have.

    I wanted to wait until September, but both sets of parents have been bugging us saying we need to send sooner.  Although, pretty much everyone who I would want to send to now knows about it already.  I'll probably cave this month just to get them off my back!

    I am May 26 also and just got our STDs in the mail. I plan on sending them out this week. Many of my family and friends live near the shore so it's a very popular weekend for all of us.
  • I'll be sending mine in September for MDW. We don't have that many OOT, otherwise I'd consider earlier.

    Same here.. OOT for some guest is an hour and half max. And everyone knows already they will go out after our e-pics which are at the end of july! No rush

  • I'm planning on May 26th (Sunday) as well. Have you gotten much negative feedback...saying that's a weird day to get married or anything? I have a lot of out of town family and have this great fantasy of a family reunion where everybody parties on Friday and Saturday (maybe even Bride's guests vs. Groom's guests softball or volleyball and a cookout and then we have the wedding Sunday evening and my fiance and I head out of town and everybody else has Monday (Memorial Day) to head home. Would that be anti-climactic to have things strung along over 2.5 days? Are Sunday weddings just weird? haha..feedback welcome.

  • Our wedding is the 26th also, and I'm hoping to get the STDs out by August.  Through the power of the internet, most of our families already know the date through Facebook, and we've had a few big family gatherings in the past couple months, so we keep reminding everyone.
