WHEN ARE YOU SENDING OUT YOUR SAVE THE DATES

When is the best time. I am getting mixed reviews from friends a family.......Some people say a year before and some say even as late as 3-4 months before.

Re: WHEN ARE YOU SENDING OUT YOUR SAVE THE DATES

I think 3-4 months before is too late. that's right before inviotes, so what's the point. it's generally 6mos-a year, and it's longer if it's a holiday weekend. We're hoping to send ours out in the next few weeks. We ahve 10 months. Since out wedding is near christmas we want to give people enough time to get off from work and get flights and book rooms, etc.

Re: WHEN ARE YOU SENDING OUT YOUR SAVE THE DATES

Since we have a 27 month engagement, I sent mine out 2 years in advance (In March of '05) Our enagement party was this past June and I wanted them to go out before our engagament invites.

I never thought of doing it like that - it's a great idea! i was always afraid to send them all out and then what if i don't want to invite someone anymore...then i'm stuck. so i think i'm gonna follow your method and do:
1st wave - family and bridal party
2nd wave - close friends
3rd wave - co-workers

Re: WHEN ARE YOU SENDING OUT YOUR SAVE THE DATES

We're sending ours out in Jan. 2007 - figure everyone will have their 2007 calendars then and can just mark it down. It will be 10 mths before our wedding date.

Re: WHEN ARE YOU SENDING OUT YOUR SAVE THE DATES

It all depends on when and were you are getting married. If you are getting married out of town or during a holiday weekend you might want to give people about 1 year notice otherwise i think 6-8 months is good.

We are getting married out of state so we sent them out already.

Re: WHEN ARE YOU SENDING OUT YOUR SAVE THE DATES

We are handing ours out along with the favors at our engagement party which will be about one year before our actual wedding ceremony.

ETA: It is saving us on postage and EVERY penny saved COUNTS
