I think that's right. Late June send out invites and August 30th response date.

I'm doing the same date twin!

- I know more people do 6 weeks, but I thought 4 would be plenty - I'm having a fairly small wedding, approx 100 invited. I just figure people will forget about responding if they get them way before the response date. Just my opinion, though!!

I'm doing 6 weeks because the hotel block closes 4 weeks before my date. I want those two weeks to call people (if need be) and remind them the hotel block closes.

Re: Calling all September/October Brides!

the only things left are to block the hotel rooms! I've almost 80% done with the BM's gifts and i can't do my favors until september (they're edible and i don't want them melting on me ). And in a few months i'll get the FG dreses, which i already have picked out.

I'm going to send out my invites the first week of July with an RSVP of August 16. exactly one month before the big day

Sounds like a good timeframe date twin!!

Re: Calling all September/October Brides!

Right now we are working on picking invitations. This has been a daunting task We've been house hunting and tomorrow will have a home inspection done on a house we bid on, so the house hunting has sort of taken over. We will be ordering favors within the coming weeks and finalizing bridal party gifts. We still have to finishing paying everyone off and do the smaller stuff (must play/do not play music list, entrance songs, pics of FH and I for video)

ETA: We also have to start percana, do programs, menus, OOT guest boxes..and the list goes on and on and on..............

Re: Calling all September/October Brides!

Must take photo list, picture location in case of rain, pick ceremony readings, order our cake, all my DIY projects - there are A LOT - I plan on having MANY little decorative details. I am slightly stressed over the bridal party & parent gifts. All my major stuff is done and so are invites, rings, favors

All I have left:
