How Far in Advance Do I Send Save the Dates

Send out save-the-date cards six to eight months prior to your wedding and the wedding invitations eight weeks before your big day.

How long does it take to order save the dates?

How long does it take for paper products to ship (invitations, save the dates, thank you cards, etc.)? When you place your paper products order, there is a turnaround time of 1-3 business days to be printed and shipped.

Is 6 months too early to send wedding invites?

Put simply, you want to give your guests as much notice as possible, especially if it takes them a while to RSVP. As such, it’s customary to send out your save the date around 6-12 months before the wedding and your invites at least three to four months before.
