I'm getting married 3/14/14 and my FH and I already picked our photographer. I was wondering when we should do our engagement shoot and send out our save the dates? What are you all doing?Thanks!

We are getting married 1/18/14 and have our engagement photos this month on the 19th. Once we get the pictures back and make our save the dates, we will be sending them out around 6 months (Juneish). General rule is 6 months and 8 months for a destination wedding.

We did our epics in October. We really wanted fall-themed pics. We'll probably send them out over the summer (somewhere between 9-11 months before the wedding). We have a lot of OOT guests and the wedding is Memorial Day weekend. I don't want half my guest list to make other travel plans!

We're getting married the weekend after you...We haven't booked a photographer yet, but we'll likely do our e-shoot during the summer and send out our save the dates in August or early Sept.

me and my fiance had so much fun with STDS lol. I wrote on my fb how don't worry everyone will get their STDS we ran out of stamps and I had over 10 comments of people going ***? lol. and my fiance wrote on his fb how all the girls at his job didn't get their stds yet. and some guy commented 'funny but all the guys did' lol.
my mom was like stop calling them STDS. it was funny though.

We did e-pics in October because I wanted the fall look at a vineyard and next year would have been too late. We'll probably send STDs sometime in the fall, September or October. I've already started working on some designs!

Since we picked January for our wedding, I wanted to do the STD's when it's a little warmer out and I have some color to my skin! But I plan on sending them out 6 months before. I have a lot of OOT guests, but they'll all be WELL AWARE of the date lol
