    I don't think that there is a set rule as such. I would say the earlier the better and that I wouldn't necessarily wait for the one year mark. You've got your date already so why not share it with everyone. Maybe aim for after Christmas? Xx

    As we're having a weekday wedding we sent ours out in Jan 2015 for a March 2016 wedding. Mainly because people needed to take time off work and some annual leave years renew in April so our guests could sort out their days off etc.

    Could you send them out with your Christmas cards? Saves postage!

    I think most advice is around the one year mark but no harm in it being earlier. We sent ours out May 2015 for our wedding August 2016 because it's a busy time of year and we have some people coming from abroad.

    Whenever you want I think, August is wedding season so plenty of notice is good! Our wedding is May 2017 and I was thinking to give them out in Feb, my family in Australia will be getting theirs very soon though! Our save the dates are wedding magnets so that they can't loose them!

    I was also thinking to give out the accommodation info with the save the dates what do you all think about this? My venue can have more than 1 wedding on so I want my guests to get their rooms before there are none left.

    We sent ours with Xmas cards last year for a March 2016 wedding, we were just too excited to wait any longer. We do have guests coming from abroad though so it made sense for them to go out quite early.

    Thanks everyone!

    Im thinking we will send them February 2016 time as it is on the August bank holiday weekend and people do tend to go away then.

    We're July 2016 and we waited until the year mark had passed. That being said, anyone we spoke to had been told the date verbally way before.

    We're just sending ours out now. Most people already know when the wedding is through word of mouth but we wanted to make sure everyone knew well in advance because it's in the summer holidays!

    As it's the weekend of a bank holiday, I would send them out early I know some people who book summer holidays a year in advance, so take that into consideration too. There really isn't a rule on when to, we sent ours out with just under a year to go, and have 2 friends wedding in Aug and Nov, and we've had the November std, but not the August one.

    You’ll find everyone has a different opinion on this but we sent ours out in April 2015 for our wedding in August 2016 as it’s a weekday and peak wedding / holiday season! Personally I’d wait until at least next year for 2017 Smiley smile
