while at the baby shower FHs family kept asking when the wedding was.. why they hadnt heard anything.. no engagement party.. did you set a date? so im thinking maybe we should send out our STD sooner then we were thinking?... do you think its too soon? my mom and dad have offered to pay for them so we can save to book the photographer which i though was very sweet. WHAT DO YOU GIRLS THINK????

Hmmn, I think STD's should go out @ he 1 year mark, kinda so it's not looked at like oh that's 1 &1/2 away....
What is cute is newsletter announcements. You can even do those your self on your comp.

i think perfectpair is right.. I would do it around the 1 yr mark. I mean i gave mine out at the engagement party as favors, and everyone liked them but it was really far in advance. But as for the new ones with the new date,I plan to take our epics in december and send them out late december early january.. so that about 11 months prior to the wedding.

Re: i have a question?
I agree I think STDs should be sent around the 1 year mark. Did you have an engagment party? Were you even planning to have one? It doesn't have to be a big party, maybe just a dinner bringing the two families together.

honestly we cant afford an Eparty and neither of the families are offering.. My family had his parents sibilings and grandmother over to our house over the summer to meet my siblings, grandparents and some of the aunts and uncles.. nothin big. but his family is HUGE and i wouldnt be able to do it.

Re: i have a question?
I didn't have one either! I would have loved to get everyone together but I never had time to plan it. At the time I was taking classes and working full time. I worked 8p-8a going in Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights. Then I would sleep Wednesday and go to class Thurs., Fri, and Saturday mornings!! I have since cut back my schedule!!! I have some family members who didn't know either even though I made a lot of phone calls.

I think if you send out stds in may or june it will be fine...They know you're engaged and planning it...They might not have the info now but its not that important for them to have that info so far in advance.
