Re: Save the Date -when to send?
Im getting married 2/2010 and sending mine out around Nov/Dec of this year as more of an engagement announcement/save the date. I dont care if its early since Im using a magnet I figure people can keep it on their refrigerator and that way I dont have to worry about it while Im doing other things like dress shopping and favor hunting

Re: Save the Date -when to send?
I was trying to figure out the same thing, because i don't want to do it at the one year mark because i don't want them to get mixed with peoples holiday stuff. So i think i might send mine out this October before all the holiday stuff

We want to take our engagement pics in July, so we'll send them out around then. We don't have a lot of OOT people so that gives us plenty of time.

Re: Save the Date -when to send?
I was going to send mine out soon. I know once school starts up again I won't have time to do as much wedding stuff. Mine are magnets so people can just put them on the fridge. We also have quite a few OOT guests that would need to book flights, so I figure the longer they know about it, the easier it is for them.

Everyone is telling me to send them out a year in advance. I ordered them and save them already and I want to send them out now!! Problem is, most people dont have a 2010 calendar yet to mark the date down on!

Re: Save the Date -when to send?
I'm going to send mine out by next July. I definitely have to do them because my wedding is on a Thursday and I want to give people ample notice. By I've also heard that you should be careful who you give them to and only give them to people who you definitely HAVE to have and WANT at your wedding. Wouldn't want to give STD's to people on your B-list and then they don't end up making the cut! lol.

I've heard that too, so we are only sending them to family and very very close family friends. We are not sending them to coworkers or our regular friends-because you never know what can happen

Im going to send them out next summer, when its closer to a year mark because Im afraid people will lose them if I send them anytime sooner.

Re: Save the Date -when to send?
we sent ours out about 13-14 months in advance, because we included them in the envelope with our e-party invites.
timeline:
engaged 5/11/07 e-party 8/18/07 wedding 8/17/08

09er crashing! This is what we planned on doing, except I got lazy and never sent them out to those who didnt come to the eparty yet. They will be going out tomorrow.
I think that if your wedding is on a holiday weekend or if you have alot of OOT, then you should do it around the one year mark, if not, you can send them out around the 9 month mark.
