Invites

I saw people are sending out invites for 2009. When are you suppose to mail? I always thought 2 months before, but some of them are 3-4 months before, so when is it??????

I think it depends on your guests. if they are out of state, you might want to give them more time

i sent mine almost 3 months before because I wanted an earlier RSVP date. This way it gave guests more time to plan for the after party at the hotel.

I'd probably say 3-4 months before, especially if you have out of town guests that have to make travel arrangements.

invitations should be mailed 2 months before the wedding date.

anything earlier starts to become too early, and your guests may respond with *less* urgency and consideration because they'll feel like they have soooo much time to mail back the card, they don't have to worry about it right away.

from an etiquette site:



Proper social form requires a four to six weeks mailing prior to the affair date. However, with the busy schedule of today’s society, a six to eight week mailing is more practical. Six weeks for local guests and eight weeks for out of town guests who need to make reservations.

I am doing by 10 weeks out, and because of the holiday I think 2 months is plenty of time.

Are you sure they are invites and not Save The Date's?

For 2009 if it's January, then that would make sense to send them out soon.
