@mh.albania: I have a lot of out of town guests. I also did not send save the dates.
I sent Save the Dates, but my invites aren't even assembled yet. I guess I need to get to that...
@mh.albania: If you sent save the dates I wouldn't stress too much.
My weddings June 4th, hoping to have my invites out by this weekend. We're only giving the guests 3 weeks to respond, hopefully the short response time will get people's acts together!
We also sent STDs, although the older generations thought it was the actual invite ><

@mh.albania: I plan to send mine about 12 weeks out, simply because then I will have time to collate RSVPs without too much stress (I hope!). But six weeks will be fine, especially as you've sent save-the-dates.
We sent ours out now, to give our guests a month to respond as we want the final numbers a month before the wedding so we can follow up with anyone we need to.
My wedding is June 11th, and FI and I sent our invites out on April 1st. Our respond by date is May 2nd. Like Elarissa, we want the number of people 1 month before the wedding. Everyone is different. I think you are okay because yours isn't until late June. It all depends on when you want your final head count by.
@Elarissa:Same here. Most of our vendors (caterer, venue, etc.) needed to have a pretty final number as close to a month before as possible. We sent our invites out on April 2 with a May 1 RSVP date so that we have 2 weeks to round up anyone who hasn't RSVP'd so that we can get the numbers to our vendors.
My wedding is June 4 and I just sent out my invites the beginning of last week. You have a later June date so you should be fine. And yeah, I've heard 6 to 8 weeks before to send them out.
My wedding date is two weeks before yours and I am not mailing mine out until this Friday, which will be 8 weeks before the wedding. It is also the one year aniversary of the day he proposed on!
Our caterer requested a total count by May 15, so I had ours out by April 1 so that I could give people a month and then start calling and having a total count to the caterer on time.
Yes, I would definitely look at your catering/reception contract and find out when you have to get them counts by and make sure that you are getting them in enough time! Then give yourself enough time to follow up on people who don't get back to you.
Our wedding is July 30 and I'm sending ours out in early/mid May with responses due at the end of June.
We are date twins! And I haven't sent mine yet either. I am planning on sending them on May 1st, getting the responses by June 1st, since my vanue needs a rough number 2 weeks before, that gives me one week to round up any non-responders. But my venue also said 2 days before, if any people say they are coming at the last minute that it is fine. Good luck with it all!
Our date is June 18th, and we're planning to send invitations out this weekend (8 weeks before the big day). My fiance has already addressed all the envelopes for his side of the family... guess I'd better stop being a slacker and get on it!
I think it depends on the guest list. If you have many out of town guests I can see sending them out a bit early. 6 to 8 weeks is standard.
I was planning on sending the invites at the 3 month mark...thats come and gone. But soon though. I dont think it really matters what youre "supposed" to, I've heard 6 weeks too. I just want more time to get everything together and thats why i decided on 3 months...kinda ; )
I'll be sending mine out early, but yes, traditionally invites are sent 6-8 weeks prior to the wedding. But it also depends on your RSVP date (if it's a week before the wedding that's okay, but if it's a month...you might want to get those puppies addressed!).
Well the RSVP date is May 25, so I guess I'll send them on May 1.
I have sent list A out, and just recvd the last of those responses... List B is being sent next week with a response date of May 16th (June 4th wedding)
We sent out save the dates and are just now sending out our invites. We also have a lot of out of town guests. As long as you get on the ball and send them out soon, I think you're good! :)
My wedding is the end of September, and I want at least three full weeks to organize RSVP's so our RSVP date is September 1st. I will be sending mine out the end last week of July. I felt that this was a good mid-point for people to have time to respond, not long enough that they will forget, and early enough that I have piece of mind. (so about 9 weeks before the wedding).
I put ours in the mail yesterday, woohoo! But that's just because I'm impatient. In general, the advice I've seen ranges from 6 weeks to 3 months, so you should be fine.
@mightywombat: Mine went in the mail yesterday too :) Yay!
The 'official wedding rule people land timeline' is 6-8 weeks prior. I sent mine earlier as I need to know who's coming for my own sanity much sooner than I need to tell my venue (which is my work).
The RSVP date is May 27th. I'm hoping the no's get back to me so I can know how many people we're dealing with and get cracking on seating and placecards. The deadline still gives me a couple of weeks before I need to tell work.
Don't stress it :)

Sorry, there are no users yet.
So I'm reading through this board and everyone has sent their invites for June weddings already?! I thought I was supposed to wait until six weeks before... did I mess up? Gosh, maybe I need to get these things addressed!
