Hi Ladies

We are getting married in September and wondering when is the best time to send invites, I was thinking April time or is that too early? We have told our close family and friends the date.

Kind Regards

claire

I think most of the traditional wedding guides recommed about 6-8 weeks before the wedding - I personally think that they should be sent about 10-12 weeks before the date.

If you have already sent 'save the date' cards then 6-8 weeks is perfectly fine though.

I tell my brides that if their wedding is on a weekday or a bank holiday weekend etc that they should allow a little more time for guests to make any necessary arrangements.

Remember to allow plenty of time for getting RSVPs and chasing any late ones up as well!

Were getting married the beginning of october and im sending ours out in march. mainy incase people are booking holidays (my aunts take winter holidays) and i know that our familys are terrible for RSVPing so i want them back by the end of july. also as that will give me 4 weeks to chase them up if need be as our venue wants numbers 8 weeks before

Mine are late! ?

I was planning on sending them early december for march wedding but combination of not sorting honeymoon yet for gift list/being ill/Christmas... it has got a bit delayed and we get married 8 weeks on Saturday!

I have started making them this week and hopefully they should be ready for delivery next week, focusing on day guests first...

RSVP date of 11th February, final numbers needed by the venue 19th February so a week to chase. Anyone of any importance to us knows the date anyway...

We get married on 12 March and I sent our invitations out in November. That was a bit earlier than planned but I wanted to get them out of the house ?

RSVP date is by 31 Jan and we have all but 3 back which is pretty good going I think.

We are sendin ours out four months before we get married with an RSVP date for 2 months before the wedding. Everything is 2-3 weeks later for evening guests.

SamSam, that is good going.
