In lieu of sending invitations, but you really want to make sure that people are able to come, it is proper to send a "Reserve the Date" card. It is an event announcement so people can be aware of the wedding and plan ahead so there are no excuses. You can send those out about a year before the event. To send out the regular invitations, I would say that you should give people about 3-4 months ahead of the event. That way you give people the proper amount of time to RSVP, but not too much time that they forget.

From the Association of Bridal Consultants who have a training course to become a Wedding Planner:

6-8 weeks for non international invitations

If you are sending invitations to people in other countries, give it 8-10 weeks so that they have sufficient time to get the RSVP card back to you before your deadline with the caterer or banquet hall arrives.

If wedding is during holiday season and people you want to come usually go away for vacation, you should give them opportunity to take your invitation into consideration before they plan vacation. For a summer wedding, I'd send invitations in February - March.

If the wedding is off holiday-season and the people I'd want to come usually didnt go away this time of year, I'd think 4 - 6 weeks in advance would be appropriate.

You need people to answer in order to give caterers notice on how many people to feed and in order to seat people.

Good luck on your planning

I sent mine out exactly eight weeks before the wedding. Today was the last day listed on the response card and a lot of people still have not responded. Now I have to contact them again, even though there was a self addressed stamped envelope included in the inviation.

I am not sure of the etiquette.

Invitations should be sent as soon as you are certain of the Date, Location and whether you really want to invite that person.

I thought it was 6 months, but could be wrong.

I was trying to become a wedding consultant at one point, but figured I won't be able to deal with the personalities. Then after seeing Bridezilla, it confirmed it :)
