    Our wedding is 12th November 2010 and I'm sending mine out in June/July. All the guests already have their save the date cards but I don't mind sending mine out early. Most people send them out around 8 weeks before. I like being a bit earlier :D xx

    We were gonna send ours out when everything's booked totally, and deposits are paid... We can't pay hotel deposit til June cos they don't want us to waste it in case the registrar messes up before then and we cant have the date and/or time we want. We have people coming from all over the country so are going to collate some info on hotels, b n b's etc to send out with the invites!

    Is it not normally about 5-6 months before, if possible.

    It probably depends on sending save the dates etc. x

    Mine is april 2011 so im sending out invites in november with an rsvp 3 months before so i can either invite more if i get any nos (need a min of 50) and i need to do table plan, name cards and make sure the menu is sorted if any special diets are needed. Then im sending the reception ones out in jan.

    Im gettied married 24th July and my day invites arent going out til next week with RSVP date 3 weeks before wedding. I will then send out the evening invites in mid May. Everyone that is being invited to the wedding already know they are, some already have booked into the hotel and so it itsnt necessary for them to go out sooner.

    March for a June wedding is fine but so is earlier, its really up to you. xx

    yeah i did have a look, used them before to make h2b business cards, i just dont have time at the moment to sent save the date cards. Been told off by h2b for spenting too much time planning wedding and not enough time doing uni disertation. lol.

    We're getting married 6th August 2011 - and are going to send out the invites around late January/early February - with an RSVP by early May. That's so we can finalise payment for the wedding breakfast when we visit the hotel again. We're in Leeds and getting married in Gretna - so going up 3 months before to take our forms in to the registry office so we may as well get a few things done while we're up there.

    I'm a bit of an organised freak so I had mine out in February 2010 wedding is July 23rd 2010 and have put an R.S.V.P date for 1st June as we have to give final numbers to venue a month before big day so this gives me plenty of time to have them in!! It's actuallly been quite good sending them out early as we had quite a few upset and angry people who only got evening invites and not full day invites but by the time the wedding comes all the fuss over the invites will have died down xx

    I'm hoping to get ours sent out just after xmas. We're getting married 25th june 2011 too. Putting RSVPs in the invites with address, email and number and telling them march is the RSVP deadline, if I haven't heard by 25th March 2011 I'll assume they can't make it and they're name will be taken off the list....I might add that I'm not realy that mean and will do chasing up in the April but might shock people into replyin quickly. xx

    Sending mine in next couple of days. I've asked for RSVP's by 31st May which then gives me 3 weeks to chase any non replies before I have to pay the balance on 23rd June x
