Mail Invitations Early?

Hi Folks:

Just wanted to get some opinions on mailing my invitations. My wedding is on Memorial Day weekend, May 26th. I planned on mailing the invitations out the end of this month on or about 2/28. Should I send them sooner, or is that appropriate. People really plan for that weekend because it's the beginning of "Summer" so I figured I should give everyone plenty of notice.

I have heard that the Nassau Sandals is very nice, but it is bigger and there is a lot of turnover. People are just there for a 3 or 4 days so there is alot of coming and going. It depends what you are looking for. We wanted something a little more low key. One thing though it will be cheaper to fly to Nassau!

I think that three months in advance is plenty!! When is your RSVP date? You do not want to do it so early that they forget that they responded yes, and make plans anyway, or if your RSVP date is in April, you do not want them to put them aside, with the thinking that they will get to it later and then forget to respond. hope that this helps!

Yes, I made the response date April 20th. I can't change that because they are already printed.

3 months is more than enough time. : )

Judy, I am sure that the head piece is fine...at this stage in the game the one thing that I have learned is not to take what people say too seriously...you know what they say about opinions...they are like a_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _, everyone has one! for example. the bra that I picked for my dress, one week the lady at the bridal salon said that the cup was too big. I spent a whole week agonizing over it and thinking about taking it back to have more alterations done to it (I got it at Mary's they do custom work) and then the next week she told me how well the bra fit!! Same thing with the slip, my Mom told me that the one slip was too poofy, I went along with her, and took the smaller one even though I wanted the poofy one, and then the next week I put on the poofy one for the fitting and she did not even notice until I told her. Go with your head piece, he has not seen the finished product yet, and don't show him anything else! you will just upset yourself, if his comments are not what you want to hear. When is your date again? Good luck with your dress!!

Our wedding is on May 27th. We are sending out the invitations the 1st or 2nd week in March. I also sent out save the date cards in November. This is usually recommended when the wedding is on or near a holiday.

I think the end of February is plenty of time to send the invites.
