    Ours is April 2013, and we sent the first out in May, and the last in July I think.

    We sent our overseas guests STD's out a year in advance and the UK based guests 6 months before.

    We're sending ours out in May 2013 (wedding is May 2014), but as our wedding is a Friday, the first weekend of half term, and its bank holiday the following Monday, we thought we'd better give people a heads up!

    Our wedding is July 2014 and we've just ordered ours to send out in the next few weeks. Our wedding is on a Thursday and we have people travelling quite a distance and from overseas so want to give them plenty of time to book days off, make travel arrangements etc. Just so they don't forget (hopefully!) we've had them printed onto magnets to keep on the fridge ?

    Ours are all ready to send. Plan to hand deliver those who live near by this Friday and post the rest. Gives people 9 months to plan travel etc (some are oversees)

    We sent out magnets with our Christmas cards (no extra postage!). That was December 2011 and we get married October 2012

    Same - we sent ours 6 months before and our weddings on a weekday! - it's v tempting to send them out as early as poss but sometimes you just end up wasting your money, people can't possibly be thinking about a date 2-3 years away! I think the STDs have to at least be within a date that you would be able to book off work. ..after all that is kind of the point of them! Smiley laugh

    A year before should be fine.

    We're trying to go off this. We're getting married 10 August 13 and hope to get them sorted out in the next few weeks...

    If I ever find the right card ?
