Hi, our wedding is August next year. Just wondered when we should be sending...

Were getting married in May next year and we sent ours out last month. Although were travelling over an hour to the venue so its to give people notice to get the day off :) x

Save the dates as soon as you book the venue...Unless it's like 2 or 3 years away! I would send out roughly 18 months before! Invites then get sent out 3-6 months before

We are also getting married next August and we sent ours out last month x

I'd be sending invites out in oct, not save the dates xx

We didn't sent save the dates we mentioned it verbally to all family and friends so they knew, and sent official invites out 5 months before. Saves loads of money on save the dates when they're not always necessary :-) X

We get married August this year and sent mine about 24 months before. My thoughts were some people book holidays 18 months in advance and with it being mid summer I didn't want people booking their jollies

We're getting married next September, but sent out the majority last month and a couple left to send this month! I'd say send whenever feels comfortable for you! I only sent ours out already because its a Friday and I started having dreams of our wedding day and realising no one had turned up because I forgot to send any invites out so mine have gone for peace of mind really xx

I get married in August next year and I sent my Save the Dates out in August last year. I'd send them out now. Don't forget it's peak wedding and holiday season at that time of year and some people look at booking holidays a year in advance.

at least a year before with august being holiday season and people book them as soon as possible x

We're getting married August next year too and currently sending out save the dates because most of our family don't live near where we're getting married it gives them chance to save up for travelling and hotel ect and also they know before they get round to booking their hols for next year!

I'm getting married July 2018 and we've sent ours out this weekend - it's a popular wedding and holiday time so it's best to get them out asap!

We got married August last year but didn't send save the dates just the invites a few months before

I didn't do save the date. I think it's Un necessary... If people have holidays etc they aren't gonna change everything regardless. Send out your invite 6-8 weeks before. I think save the date is just doubling up your work.. save the date seems to be a new thing. If you want to though prob bout a year b4.

Ours is September next year and I sent ours save the dates last week.

I'm getting married next may and have just started sending them out I think about a year in advance is about right x

We sent out 6 months in advance after verbally notifying a lot of folks. We still had family who couldn't make it as they booked their holiday over a year out. Sooner is definitely better.

I sent mine in november/December our wedding is in august on a Friday so had to make sure people could get day off work

We get married 28.08.18 and sent out our save the dates in Feb this year

You don't need to send save the dates. Everyone seems to be wanting to do them but they're really not necessary, and just an added expense that you don't really need. We got married in the may and sent invitations out at the beginning of the year. Was more than enough time

I'm August next year and sending them about a year before

I'm getting married July next year and we are sending ours at the moment as we have family here there and everywhere so gives them plenty of notice. It's completely upto you if you want to send them, I personally did!

I would send save the dates asap then proper invites 5 months before. The reason is people will book summer holidays way in advance (or last minute) and at least this way people will have been told a year in advance to not book a holiday if you want them at your ceremony on the day

Traditionally its 12 months before your ceremony

I'm August next year as well! What date? I've sent ours out as it's slap bang in the middle of school holidays! Won't send official invites until this time next year though. Xx

Mine is May next year and we sent them out in Feb. I wasn't don't worried about being premature, I think it's fair to let people know when you do.
I didn't want people to book holidays etc when I already knew the date x

Save the dates are usually sent 18-12 months before the wedding date

We get married in August this year and sent ours out over a year in advance. We did online save the date invitations to cut costs.

Ours is April 2018 and we are sending our save the dates next month. The day invitations will go out in September and evening in the new year.

I actually made a Save The Date page on Facebook and added people there just a year ahead of the date.

Mine is August 18 too and my save the dates went out last month. We plan to get the invites out for Christmas x
