Save the date cards should be sent out as soon as the wedding date is official, i.e. when the church and reception locations are booked. This will give guests time to clear their calendars and make travel arrangements.

If I remember correctly, save the dates go out 6 months ahead, and the actual invites 3 months. This tends to vary according to geographic location...are you in a big city? If so, this rule applies even more so. If not, you can scale it down to 3 months and 8 weeks for invitations, depending on your caterers demands.

Proper etiquette does't dictate that these advance notices have to be sent but in today's world it helps your guests in their planning so they can be sure to be with you sharing in the celebration of one of the most important days of your life. If you do decide to send them out, you are not required to send them to every one of your guests but you'll probably want to at least include close family members and friends. Guests who will have to travel to be in attendance will find them especially helpful for giving them plenty of travel preparation time particularly if you are having a destination wedding.

I would guess 4 to 6 weeks is adequate time for someone to plan ahead.
