sorry if this is long but i need you opinions badly. i told my mom this morning that i ordered my STD's yesterday and plan on sending out in July and she had a fit telling me that I'm doing everything so fast. omg i wanted to bolt out of the house she said people will think i'm crazy when they see this in their mailbox when the wedding is still one year away. i explained to her that i'm sending them out a little earlier because this wkend i found out that three of FH's 2nd cousins are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary next july and I'm afraid they might plan a party on the night of our wedding and then what??? still she thought it was way too soon - i told her i'm paying for them and most of this wedding so I'm doing what i want. but do u guys agree with me or see her point that it might be a little too early?

Not unreasonable at all. I've gotten STD's over a year in advance.

You're right, Mom is wrong.

You're getting married the week of a holiday - standard procedure for 'special dates' like ours (I'm day after Thanksgiving) is 1 yr in advance.

I'm with her

I'm getting married on a holiday so I will most definitely be doing mine this summer.

I don't think that is unreasonable. When does the 4th of July fall on? People could plan vacations or parties- it's a very popular time of the year. We are sending out our STD's this coming Christmas, so that will be a year away for us too.
