Hi Ladies,

We get married in May 2013, We are not doing Save the date. So I was wondering when do I send out the invites. My initial thoughts are early Jan 2013. Does that sound ok? When would you send them?
Thanks in advance for your help....AGAIN....lol

That's what I thought, although ......we wed in the school holidays and I am a little worried guest might book their Hols for that time

I originally thought Dec, but then I thought with all the Christmas post some may get lost.... but I suppose late Nov could be ok

were not doing save the dates either as its just another cost , were getting married in june 2014 and were sending our invites out in january of that year xx

I'm getting married in October and I sent my invites out in January lol but everyone's able to make it which is great as we are getting married on a Friday! BUt I think if you're not doing save the dates then earlier rather than later is best as like you say, people book holidays! X

Hey, I'm getting married may 2013 too. We're planning in sending invites in early november. We wanted to give people lots of notice as its on a Thursday, we are also worrie that if we sent them in December they would get misplaced with Christmas cards. We're not doing save the dates either. Hoping 6 months will be enough notice for people.

When are the summer holidays they don't start in may do they? Xxxx

No not the summer hols bambi.mk the spring bank holidays. school Kids are off 1-2wk

We are getting married July 2013, we are sending STD in aug/beg of sept and invites wit christmas cards, cut down on stamps as they are so expensive. We are sending STD later then planned due to me having new job and OH on placement but we are sending them out as people start thinking about hols for the following yr after they have come back from this yr. Plus we are going to hand deliver them as many as possible. I would rather give people plenty of time to book hotels/save/time off. Plus it gives us a time to chase up any who don''t RSVP.

I would need RSVP by beginning of march for the venue,so hoping if I send Nov, the guests that are on the ball will reply start away and the stragglers by end of feb

I have now spoken to my mum and the lady who is doing my stationary. Will be sending out invites in Early Jan :-)

I'm getting married Dec 12 this year, We didn't send a save the date, there's only 17 close family and friends coming, so they were asked verbally :) But I've made our invites and I've just sent them out this week :)
