I was having a look at invitation sites and had a play around making my own...

Hi, which website did you visit to design your own invitations, I might take a look.. x

Hiya it was optimal print x

We’re getting married next May too. I’ve sent most of my save the dates but won’t send invites until January (ish)

Could I ask what website so I could also look to? We get married next year to (September) and we want our invites out by December (this year) at the latest but earlier the better, people can book off and sort childcare out etc earlier x

We are getting married in may and we are sending them out with our christmas cards to save on postage. Really cheeky but saving pennies x

We’re getting married next year in April, we’ve just finished making our save the date cards and sending them out in may once we’ve payed off the registrar fees, sending invites in December time xx

I personally wouldn’t send them out that early. U may change your mind on who u want to be there by next year. U can never uninvite someone

We get married in august next year, and we're sending then out once weve paid our registrar fees

We get married in August and sent ours a week or so ago. We sent save the dates a year ago as its a summer wedding and wanted people to know the date before booking their next summer holiday. I personally don't like when I get invites really early and wouldn't send the RSVP until much nearer the date, but that's just my preference. You do risk more drop-outs when you send invites and get RSVP back so early.

Can I ask how much the register costs please. Xx

We get married in July and sent ours at the beginning of February. I don’t think it really matters when you send them as people will RSVP if and when they want to 😂

Sent mine out jan this year, get married March next year

It's literally just close family at the wedding so doubt anyone would drop out but thank you for replying guys ☺ x

Zazzle is great also for invitations etc x

We sent ours out exactly a year before the wedding because we're inviting a lot of people and we're asking them to come in costume. We had some nice feedback from people that they liked getting them so far in advance :)

Personally i'd say yes it's too early...we sent ours out around September time, and got married March. Reason being its easy to change your mind about who you want there (we did multiple times before the invites went out!) I would wait till nearer the end of this year if it was me

I would definitely send them out early !!
From my experience people are Hopeless at RSVP so this would give you more time to chase those who are Slow !!!!
Plus it would take a massive job Away from next year creating Less Stress 😊
Warm Wishes for a Special day ,
Love Sarah xx

I wouldn't send them out any earlier that 4-5 months before. 2-3 months if you've sent save the dates. I would say that a year is farrr too early. You run the risk of people forgetting to RSVP or forgetting the wedding altogether.

I'd send STDs out ASAP but I think it might not be sensible to send invites out over 6 months ahead. Close friends and family will probably be able to commit but I imagine there will be ppl who just won't know a year in advance and you risk it being lost or forgotten

We sent ours our Easter 2016 for a July 2017 wedding. The invites were Easter eggs and had we sent them at Easter 17 it would have been too late. Had previously sent our our Save the Dates Christmas 2016 I think. We had some drop outs but for normal reasons not for ‘forgetting’ x

You should send them out 6-8 months before the wedding day, depending on how organised you are. That will give you 2 months for guests to reply (depending on rsvp date) and around 4 months to plan the stationary for the day leaving you stress free. Well thats the idea and its how i like to work with my clients x

Optimal print has 50%off till Sunday btw, just saw it on their website x
