    Hi peeps,
    When do you normally send out the invitations ?, I was thinking of sending them out with the RSVP for 6 months before we get married so I have good figures for my catering, as we are having a buffet style wedding breakfast ie BBQ food or hog roast.

    What's your thoughts please ?

    I started sending mine out about a week and a half ago (before the 'three months to go' mark), but most of the people I sent invites to already knew they were coming. But it really depends, you can send them out when ever you want (but with two years to go until your wedding I'd wait for another year, at least, to send invites out).

    We sent ours out in the February, with RSVPs by the end of May so we could confirm numbers and food choices in June (We got married 29 September).

    Thanks peeps, I want to design my wedding invites now, so just wanted feedback for what RSVP date to put on them, so they're all ready to post at a future date.

    :)

    I started sending mine yesterday, with an RSVP date of two months before the wedding date, the venue needs food/number confirmations four weeks in advance.

    Unfortunately it turns out they need a large envelope stamp, so its a good job I took them into the post office to check. They're small enoguh to be a normal letter, but the fastening makes them too thick :(
