Looking for some advice about invitations. We're getting married on 30th...

Hi on my wedding checklist it says 8-6 months I would give them a month :)

We get married July 14th 2018 and will be sending our invites mid January

I'm getting married next month and I sent ours out in January x

We get married june an sending ours jan

It's usually 6 - 8 weeks before wedding but if people live further away then send out sooner if out to soon then people forget

Just sent mine I get wed in December 22 x

I'm getting married 6th April 2018 sent invites out last sat and rsvp's due in by 5th Aug. Got loads back today already

Getting married in March, sending them out next month as it's the Easter weekend so we want to give plenty of notice. We're giving a month or two to rsvp, that's plenty of time and we need time to get numbers and seating etc sorted so don't want to wait till a few weeks before the wedding for rsvps

Im getting married same date and we have sent ours already x

I always suggest to my couples to pop them in the Christmas cards x

I got married last July and we sent out invites at the end of march. It depends on venue/caters etc as well. The hotel needed to know numbers and what people were having so many weeks in advance so we just sorted it out nice and early.

I would send them January and give them about a month to respond x

We are getting married the same day and will be sending out mid January as then they won't be lost with all the Christmas cards. I've given 6 weeks for RSVPs to allow me 4 weeks to chase up any stragglers before we have to finalise with catering x

I get married on 22 June 2018 and my invites are out already! I've asked for RSVP for catering purposes and as we have so many people overseas and even local to us who will need accommodation etc xx

Thank you for all the advice ladies xx

I sent them out 6 months before gave people 2 or so months to reply for the daytime and a little longer for evening guests x

We get married 26th july 2018. I want invites out by end of january at latest, and back my 1st march. X

We get married on the same day too 😊 will be sending ours in January xx

We sent them January and the wedding is this Sat

I gave at least 6 months for people to respond as people may need to book off work or if they planning on going on holiday they can plan around your day so they don't miss it. That's what we did as we didn't bother with save the dates either as we thought they were a waste of money

I gave 6 months notice as i didn't do save the date either

I'm getting married August this year and we sent our invites out in December. Saved on postage (as we put the invites in with Christmas cards) and meant people with children could arrange holidays (as August is the school holidays). We gave people till June to respond but in hindsight I wish we had put earlier as didn't like waiting haha

I sent in feb, put 1st may as the response date, still chasing a few responses in July! We are getting married this December. My advice get them out as early as possible, don't give people too long to respond otherwise they will forget. I have found getting the guest list sorted the most stressful part, so don't leave it until the last few months!

From experience I would say it's completely up to the bride, as she will know roughly what close family members have planned and booked in for the year of the wedding and/or how far ahead your friends and family like to plan. It can vary greatly and is all about personal preference. I would suggest around 4/6 months is more than plenty. I hope this helps... any more and you risk being forgotten about, any less and you risk people having other engagements.

I'm 22nd June and sending them out in January everyone will have a new calendar I hope x

With yours being in the summer, I would send them out now because people might be looking to book holidays for next year x

I sent mine out 3months before with RSVP date 6 weeks before with an aim to chase up any people who hadnt rsvp'd around 4weeks before

3/4 months before give people plenty time to take time off work if needed and shop for clothes etc or hire them

I would suggest 6-3 months before hand

Our wedding is June 2018 and I am sending mine now as i have a lot of guests needing accommodation also a lot of people have to give their work holidays now for next year. Hope this helps and have a fab day x
