Traditionally, wedding invitations are sent out approximately six to eight weeks before the wedding date. This timeframe allows guests enough time to RSVP and make necessary arrangements to attend your wedding. However, it’s worth noting that customs and preferences can vary, so it’s always a good idea to consider your specific circumstances and consult with your wedding planner or trusted resources for the most appropriate timeline.

If you’re planning a destination wedding or if many of your guests will need to make travel arrangements, it’s advisable to send out save-the-date cards or notices even earlier. Save-the-date cards are typically sent six to eight months in advance, giving guests ample time to plan and reserve the necessary accommodations. This is especially important if you’re getting married during peak travel seasons or if your wedding will require guests to take time off work.

Ultimately, it’s essential to communicate with your guests in a timely manner, ensuring they have enough time to make arrangements to attend your special day while also considering any logistical factors that might affect their ability to do so.
