Send out Save the Date cards so they can start planning.

I think 6 months is good... Hey it's a wedding in Italy! I sure as he** wouldn't forget!

Re: HOW FAR IN ADVANCE IS APPROPRIATE....

I already sent out 'save the date' cards...

So you think 4-6 months is good????

Sage, if you already sent out STD, and mentioned that the wedding is in Italy, then I would send out invites about 3 months in advance. This will give people enough time to book flights and figure other details out without having them forget.

FH and I received a save the date for an 11/03 wedding in the Bahamas...we had to RSVP for it by May b/c they had to block off a set of rooms for it. I believe the formal invitations are coming 3 mos in advance...
