from what i was told by my coordinator, invites should be sent 2-3 prior to the wedding, so i'll be sending them out in May...Right??

I think that I'll send them out in may... too... JUNE is CRAZY at work (Missus, you know! ha ha)... so June is my NON-Plannig month! so everytign that has to be done before June will be, and little things will wait until July.

May is a good time to send them out, with responses due back first week in July I think.

Yep! We're weekend buddies!

And I'll be sending out invites toward the end of May... My printer said that for summer weddings, send them out a little early so that vacations aren't planned, etc.
