When should I send out my invitations?

Hi there :)

Invitations for local weddings should be sent out at least 2-3 months prior to the wedding date. Save the Dates are usually 6-8 months prior.

It's best to send invitations for destination weddings & international guests at least 6 -12 months prior.

The RSVP date is largely dependant on when the venue needs the numbers by. Generally, the RSVP date is anywhere between 3-6 weeks prior to the wedding. It's best to add 1 week to the venue's required RSVP deadline, because you will most likely need to chase guests up.

Unfortunately, a lot of people don't reply on time.

I hope this helps! If you have any more questions, please let me know.

Hi, I always recommend to all my customers that invitations should be sent out no later than 3 months in advance to the event as you truly need responses to be in 4-6 weeks prior to your wedding.  Please keep in mind that most venues wish numbers to be finalised 3 weeks before your wedding date, which then means if you have some guests that have either forgotten to respond, have changes in who is coming and will let you know later or even want to add a couple of extra last minute people to the list to make up numbers as some have dropped out - you will need those 4 - 6 weeks time to get your guest list in order.  Hope this has helped, Marie BW Reporter.

Hi!

It depends, if you are not having a destination wedding or overseas guests, its ok to send out the invites 3 months in advance. If it is a destination weddng or you are having out of town guests, 6 months advance notice is nescessary for your guests to make travel arrangemenst and or accomodation arragements.

Hope this helps.

Thanks and Best Regards
