Invitations

How far in advance do you send out the invitations'
Also my wedding date is May 15
When should the rsvp be dated? How many weeks before the wedding should the rsvp be
Thanks for your help

I think the invitations go out 8-10 weeks before the wedding (most sites suggest 6-8 weeks also). The RSVP date should be about 2-4 weeks before the wedding. The info below I just got from theknot.com:

Invitations: When to Send?

Q. How far in advance should you send invitations?

A. Ideally, invitations should go out eight weeks before the wedding -- this gives guests plenty of time to clear their schedules for the day and make travel arrangements if they are out-of-towners. Timely invitations also let you make the RSVP date earlier -- about three weeks before the wedding -- so you can get a final head count and start making a seating chart (if you'll have one) before the week-before-the-wedding crunch begins. At the very latest, guests should receive invitations six weeks in advance, and you should receive responses two weeks before the big day.

Thanks so much
I was planning on sending them out 12 weeks before the wedding. Is that bad?

I don't think it's bad, but 3 months before is a little long and the guests may forget...but then again, we just got invites for an April weekend two days ago, so it's been done.

Ok maybe I'll wait for 11 weeks before ha ha
I just can't wait. I can't believe it is actually happening.
Now I need a DJ and limos
Thanks for writing me back
