Save the Dates

I was curious to know how in advance should I send out my save the dates if my wedding is in May?
Thanks so much!

Re: Save the Dates

Save the dates are usually sent 6 months before the wedding

Re: Save the Dates

I sent mine just under a year because I have a lot of OOT guests. I sent them last week

I sent them 6 months before b/c the OOT guest keep on asking when where what time. It will make your life a lot easier to sent them out soon then later.

Re: Save the Dates

i'm going to send them out about a year before because of all the OOT guests.

I sent them ion Feb for an October wedding.

There is no 'rule', but most people send them between 12-6 months before.

Re: Save the Dates

I sent mine out a year in advance-I have a lot of oot guests and my wedding is on a Sunday so I wanted to give people plenty of time.

Re: Save the Dates

According to my mother, Peggy Post's book on wedding etiquette says 6 months before. I thought we should have sent them when we knew the date (which was 9 months before), but they went 6 months before.

I would send them now if you have your guest list sufficiently narrowed down
