I have mine b/c I ordered them very early, knowing I wouldn't have enough time to do much when school begins again. But I think you still have time!
When were you planning on sending out your invitations? You can count back a month from that date as your RSVP, and then count 2-4 weeks from that as the mailing date. Then you'll be able to figure out when to do calligraphy. I got this advice from someone on here, just can't remember who!
If you're doing your own (either computer or by hand), you can do what I'm doing.... printing a few envelopes at a time at night while watching TV, that way it's not overwhelming. If you're sending them out to be done, you may want to research calligraphers now so you know who and what you want when the time comes!
Don't mind me, I sometimes plan way too far in advance!

I am hoping to send them out in 3 weeks,,, but I am suddenly nervous.
I think this is the first time I am actually like 'oh boy this is it!!'! It feels amazing but at the same time, like it is getting down to the wire.

Mine are going to be sent out towards the end of August as well. I already have mine, sitting in a box in my room waiting to be assembled lol FH and I still need to make sure we have all the envelopes printed! We made some changes to the guest list since we've sent it to the invite company to print. Oh well some people might just be getting clear labels! lol

wedding 11/26
rsvp date 10/26
in homes around 9/26 (so im planning to mail mine a few days before 9/26)
I am mailing mine out early. Probably the first week of September. My RSVP date is October 17th (6 weeks before the wedding). I know a lot of the guests usually go away for the holiday so I wanted to make sure they had time to plan.
BTW...my bachelorette party is tomorrow!!! Off to Fire Island till Monday! My best friends have been very busy the last few days..i can't wait to see what they've planned!!!

Ladies, I'm SOOO happy to check off one more thing on my list:
FMIL found a gorgeous dress today and it didn't break the bank!
It was touch and go for a while...we had gone to a bridal boutique in the Bronx from which she had bought 2 MOG dresses in the past, but couldn't find anything we liked, plus everything was $250+. So I brought her into Queens to visit a boutique in Astoria from which my mom has bought fancy dresses in the past...only to find that it recently closed down! A boutique across the street from that store had a couple of dresses for her, but they were kinda blah on her.
So, our next stop was the Queens Center Mall, and first we went to JCPenney. We found 2 dresses, and the first one she tried on was stunning on her...it's as if it was tailored just for her. No hemming needed, no taking in needed, nothing. Not too dark blue, nor too light blue. Plus, it was on sale, so it was totally within her budget!! Couldn't be happier!!
The only thing about the dress is that it has short sleeves, and she really wanted 3/4 sleeves or a jacket, so now I need to find a pretty silver shawl for her...any suggestions about where to find that?
