You know who you want to invite to your wedding, but are you still a bit confused about wedding invitations and the etiquette that goes with them? Don’t worry, we’ve got some great tips for navigating everything from save the dates to RSVPs.
When to send?
Your invitations should go out around six to eight weeks before your wedding date for a local wedding, and two to three months before the big day for destination weddings. If you want to send something out earlier, go with a save the date card.
Why send save the dates?
If your wedding is in peak wedding season, a prime vacation time, or around a holiday, sending a save the date can allow guests to loosely reserve that weekend for you. They can also serve as fantastic engagement announcements.
How to handle RSVPs?
Set your RSVP date two to three weeks before your wedding. This gives guests enough time to reply, while also giving your vendors enough notice for your final numbers. If you’re worried about guests sticking to the date, offer alternative RSVP methods, like email or phone, but keep a good record!
