When Should 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 early is too early for Save the Dates?

As a general rule, it's best to start spreading the news around six to eight months prior to the ceremony (send them earlier for a faraway destination or holiday weekend). This gives wedding guests plenty of time to book their travel, save money and ask for days off work.
