When do I mail everything?
Time to get out your calendar and start counting backwards!
Ideally, your save the dates should be mailed 6-8 months prior to the wedding. Invitations should be mailed 6-10 weeks before your wedding day. If you are having a destination wedding where most of your guests will be traveling, try to send them about 3 months before your wedding day.
After determining when to send, you’ll need to determine the deadline date for collecting responses from guests. Your response deadline should be 3-4 weeks before your wedding day. It’s important to check with your caterer as to when they need your final head count for meal planning. Since you’ll find not all guests will get their responses in on time, add a week or two to that date.
Quiz! Say your wedding is August 25, 2018 and not a destination wedding.
