Save the Dates

When should these go out? I wanted to try to them them a year out but that didn't happen. Right now it looks like I will send them out in January. Is 8 months enough time? I am doing them because my wedding is on a Friday so I want to give people a heads up. The reason I am not doing them yet is because we are taking our epics at the end of Dec. and I want the website ready when I send them out because I want the epics on the site.

Yeah thats plenty of time! I sent mine out 9 months before because mine is a the 4th of July. I too wanted to make sure everyone had enough time to take off.

January is fine...you are not getting married on a holiday weekend so that is more than enough notice for your guests.

the standard is 6 months prior to date if your on a normal weekend.. should it fall on a holiday weekend usually 9 months out. you also don't want it to be to far in advance that people forget.

I'm sending them out next week so I'm right at the 8 month mark.

For those ladies who didn't do the save the dates themselves, how much (approx) did your save the dates (magnet style) run?

I'm planning on sending mine out around 8 months before (like next week)... so I think that would be fine!

I bought mine from agiftfulheart.com and I think it was a total of about $235 for 200 of them after shipping charges (they were $1.10 per magnet).

A year is fine. I sent mine out in February and I got married in October.
