When did you send SAVE THE DATES

is three month too soon or not soon enough for a destination wedding?

TIA

Re: When did you send SAVE THE DATES

  • I definitely wouldn't go past three months.  I sent mine out like 6-8 months before, and it was just a beach wedding in Destin.  I wanted people to have time to save money for hotels and plan transportation details.

  • We sent ours in January and our wedding was in July, here in town. We had a lot of family coming from OOT so we wanted them to have the chance to find cheap flights.

  • I would send them at LEAST three months out.  I sent mine around November because most of our guests were OOT... my wedding was March 1.

  • I think 6 months ahead of time is pretty standard for destination weddings or weddings on holiday weekends.

     So, I would send them out 3 months ahead of time, if not before.

    We sent ours out in May for a November wedding. We got married on Veterans Day and had almost everyone coming from out of town, so we wanted to give everyone enough time for travel arrangements.

  • I sent mine 7-8 months out because 1. we had a destination wedding in Florida and 2. all of DH's family is in New York and New Jersey and they needed plenty of time to plan accordingly.
  • we sent ours out about 8 mos before the wedding..so about 6 mos before invites went out. all of my family was coming from oot and it was right after christmas, so i wanted to give them all a heads up
  • We sent ours in February and our wedding was in August...
