I'm planning on sending in June. Out of town guests have already been told about the date and we've gotten some pretty firm yes/no replies already, so I'm not overly concerned about sending them earlier. If they're ready earlier, sure, if not, not. I guess this means I have to get serious about finishing up designing them huh?
hi date twin! we've decided to send them out late june with a "rsvp due date" of late august... just so it's not too early, but still enough time for ppl to get their RSVP's in on time for our tasting!
We're doing first round OOTers who most likely will RSVP no (about 25 invites) out early June with RSVP date of mid July which is when the rest of the invites are going.
Probably send them out in June and most of our guests are OOT. They already got a save-the-date a few days ago so it levels the playing ground for OOT people.
Hi there! I'm not a September 2010 bride (I was a September 2007 bride). My wedding was on 9/1, and I sent my invites out right after 4th of July. I had a ton of out of towners, but I also had save the dates sent out in the beginning of the year since it was over Labor Day weekend.
Just keep in mind that you don't want to send the invites out TOO early (people tend to lose them the earlier you send them out) and the standard 6-8 weeks still works in most cases! Good luck, and September is a wonderful month to get married in!
I'll probably try to send them 2 - 2.5 months before the date, so mid to late July. We've already sent STDs so I figure that accounts for any out of town people. I might lean toward 2.5 months because my block of hotel rooms is released 60 days before the wedding so I want people who didn't pay attention to the STD (which directed them to our website) to still have that available.
I think sending invites 3+ months out is too early (at least that's been my thought as a guest when I received invites that far out).
2 months for me, with 1 month until RSVP date. We're having a smaller wedding so have a general idea of who's coming or not anyway.
We have a lot of OOT guests who are making travel plans now so it's going to seem redundant to send them an invite this summer but I guess such is life. My goal is to get them ordered next week but that seems a bit idealistic since they are not designed which means I will most likely need to order them and have them shipped to my mom and hope she can mail them to me for send out circa early June. I really wish email invitations were acceptable but I just don't think they would get the respect they deserve. We're doing an email RSVP so my fingers are crossed on that one. We, of course want to invite more people than our venue can hold so we're planning to go out in two rounds once we get RSVPs in.
I think we're also doing late June/early July, but I'm not sure when the RSVP date will be. We just mailed STDs this morning (yay!!!).
I think we're going to do our 1st round at the end of May/start of June. Mostly the ones that are traveling far - overseas, cross country, etc.
We're doing the standard 8 weeks, but we're also having a smaller(ish) wedding and with no "B" list.
We are also doing the standard 8 weeks eventhough we are getting married over labor day weekend and OOT because we sent out our STD's 8 months ahead of the wedding.
I'm sending mine out in mid-May, but mostly just to ensure that out of town guests (read: guests that have to fly from Manitoba to Alberta) have time to make arrangements and save.
Plus, I'm just that gosh darn excited :D
We're shooting for 8 weeks. We have a lot of OOTers, but also sent STDs.
I think we'll be going with the 8 weeks timeline. Most of my family is coming from OOT, but they just got their STDs, so they at least know about it (and that it's on a Friday). And i have my RSVP deadline at August 27, to give me time to call the "no responders".
We're sending our out 10 weeks in advance, but we have lots of oot guests and the wedding is on a holiday weekend. I also want the RSVP date to be a month before the wedding so 10 weeks makes sense.
I'm not a September bride, but I would recommend sending them out a little earlier than a month, especially if you have a lot of out of towners. My RSVP deadline was 5 days ago and I'm still waiting on about 10 RSVPs.
We will send them out late June/early July with RSVP first week of August, so we can call the ones we haven't heard from middle of August, since the rest of our money is due 1 month before wedding! :)
We are sending ours out the end of June. We have a lot of people coming from out of the country.
The RSVP deadline is 1 month before the wedding. Plus I have a "B" list.
We're mailing out of country invites end of June/beginning of July and the rest mid July with a RSVP due date of Aug. 27th.
We're looking a mid-June with an August 25 RSVP. This gives us nearly 2 weeks to track down delinquent RSVPs before we have to give a final count to the caterer. Now that I'm reading this board it seems that it's just the OOTers that we should send mid-June and the rest could be July.
We do have a B list and will probably not sent STDs (since we haven't done that by now).
we're planning to send ours 8-10 weeks out (so mid-july) with a deadline of four weeks out (late august). our venue requires a headcount one week out and we have a lot of OOT guests.
i'm not convinced everyone invited got a save the date so i'm a little worried. they were postcards and one of my bridesmaids never got hers and we live literally 6 blocks from each other...
Shout out to all the September 18 Brides!
We're sending out invites at varying times because of the different locations of our expected guests. We both now live in Maryland, I have family in Nigeria, he has family in Jamaica, and we spent much of our years in NYC, where we met. For the internationa folks , we're sending them out anytime from now since many of them need the info to start planning their trip or to take to their immigration offices so to acquire a travel visa.
For the local and New York folks, we're probabaly going to send them out late may - at least that's the plan. I'm making all the invitations from scratch and some of them will be personalized, so that being so tedious, some local folks may get their's later than that.
Our RSVP date is end of July - that's six weeks or so before the event. Giving us enough time for follow-ups (cause we belive many people will be tardy in responding) and to potentially tap into our backup list of local folks. My only fear is that ppl may be turned off by us asking for such an early response. But in my opinion, 6 weeks before the event is not too much to ask, is it? Thoughts?...any proper etiquette with this?
we're requesting pretty early RSVP's as well since the majority of people are coming from out of town and will need hotel reservations. we'd like them to make those reservations early.
what's up, september bees!!
i was going to wait until 6 weeks out but then i realized that our hotel room block ends 4 weeks prior, so to give people plenty of time to book, i should probably send invites about 8 or 9 weeks out.
it's sneaking up on me!
