Okay I know this is probably the millionth thread on this, but we are debating on when to send out our save the dates. Our wedding is Sept 19, 2015. Its either within the next couple weeks.. or end of jan/feb. The only reason I want to send them soon is because our engagement pictures were just taken and are fall themed and I dont want to send them in the middle of winter with a fall themed picture. Yes I have slight OCD and it bothers me lol…
Pretty much all of our guests are local. Maybe 2 or 3 out of towners. So I know 10 months out is alittle long. I dont want them to get thrown aside and forgotten about. Any advice?

People will probably disagree with me, but i never can see the logical behind waiting to send save the dates. why not just send now? guests don’t have to respond or decide until invitation time.

I don’t think it really matters in your case. Since there are very few people traveling, people will require less time for notification, but sending them 10 months ahead of time doesn’t hurt because they’ll be getting the invitations in a timely manner. For people that have destination weddings, you want to send them as early as possible while still being relevant.
