I have my wedding booked for August next year I have booked the church just...

Hi I would send them out about 8 months before :)

I personally would do them in August as a lot of people go away in August. We can start booking holidays at work for the following year from Septemberish and a lot of places do the same. X

I would send at least save the dates out in August to prevent people booking holidays x

I agree send save the dates (Vista print do amazing ones to fit most budgets) and dont send invites till venue confirmed, it saves confusion should you have to change anything xxx

I'm getting married july 2018 and sending my invites out feb 2018. I would do save the dates 12 months before.

I'd send out Save the Dates a year before, especially as it's peak holiday season, then I'd send the invitations around January ad this is typically when people start to think about what holiday they want to take that year (especially if they have to negotiate with colleagues at work).

I agree with everyone who has already commented, I'm getting married in August next year too - we're sending out save the dates (I've designed ours and also had printed from Vista Print - only cost us £11.49 for 50) next month then sending invites early next year! x

Check with your venue when they need final numbers by

3 months before

I'm getting married next July and sending my invites out as soon as I've finished making them, so before September! x
