Our weddings in march, reception in april and we're sending them mid jan once xmas is over else they will get caught up in the xmas hype.
CommentAuthorEmsy5000
we are sending ours out next month some people do save the date cards 6 months before and then send invites 3 months before but personally don't see the point

its spelt wrong
I No! I Now! I Know!!!!!
I am NOW MRS LONSDALE!!
We're getting married in August - but posting out the invites in February, with RSVP for early May. That gives us time to finalise menus etc with the venue when we visit in May. Because we're travelling to Gretna for the wedding we sent out the save the date magnets earlier this year - so that it gave people plenty of time to book hotels etc
CommentAuthorXLittleMissMe!X
I would say it isn't worth save the dates for 5 months so would just send the invites a little bit earlier with the Christmas cards. I'm pretty sure most people who are coming to the wedding will already know when the date is so if need to arrange travel etc will have talked to you about it anyway.
CommentAuthorMrs Turps (Nicpep)
I agree, do it at xmas. If not, I'd suggest January since people need to book rooms etc

CommentAuthor4lannie4
im getting married in the begining of april and sent them out 2 weeks ago as i didnt want people to get them mixed up with the christmas cards and not send the replys x
CommentAuthorRachel_Sarah
We were going to send ours out with the christmas cards but we bought the wedding forward so are doing it now, i think people need about 3 months notice to book time off work and stuff.
CommentAuthordawn
We are sending ours out the 1st weekend of December...
CommentAuthorNetta
I would go for about 3-4 months ahead of time so about december/january would be good, gives your guests time to book rooms etc. Especially as there is a bank holiday due that weekend so they should be able to get in :o).
Oh and hello and welcome hun.
CommentAuthorLynz_9
We're going to send our at the end of May for our wedding in September. We've got save the dates to send out before christmas though as we are getting married on a Friday and hope most people will stay in the hotel xx
CommentAuthorK8tie90
Thanks everyone :) I best get my act together really lol :) x
CommentAuthorAutumnBride
I'm sending the save the dates out at Christmas, because it could be difficult for some people to attend. Then, I think I'll send the actual invites around July time for our October wedding.
CommentAuthorK8tie90
I cant be bothered with both lol - on a budget! lol
CommentAuthorAutumnBride
I am too, but it's a Sunday date and everyone seems surprised by this. If I send out the invites early, people will forget about them so it seems like the most efficient route to getting people there on the right day. I'll just take it off the budget for my clothes.
CommentAuthorK8tie90
oh bless yah, my friend got married last yr on a sunday, Mines all last min planning only decided we would get married a few months ago, :)
CommentAuthorAutumnBride
Congrats! We were originally going to have it 11 months from when we got engaged. Then we sat down and did some maths and put it back to the Autumn. 10 months to find the money now :-)
CommentAuthorK8tie90

I'm sending out save the date cards so people know when our wedding is and that they will be getting a proper invitation nearer the time
Can't wait to be Mrs Foster 21/06/2012 :D

CommentAuthorx~Hails~x
My save the dates will be going out a year before and my invites will be going out 6 months before as i have a rsvp of 2 months before so i can sort out menu, favours, table plan and things like that.

CommentAuthorshellay
i am not getting married for another 6 months, but mine are going out now as we are restricted to the number who can come to the ceremony, so if anyone drops out we can replace them with people from the night do, and people are already saying we cant come because we are on holiday that week :) x
I have know my soulmate for 27 years and on the 6th August
I married him and became Mrs Garnham.
It was most definitely the happiest day of my life.
I love married life !!!!
