6 weeks is the proper time. When in doubt go to www.emilypost.com

Invitations generally go out 6-8 weeks before the wedding. In a case like yours, usually Save The Date cards are used. These are sent out as soon as the date is set letting them know that a wedding is being planned and that an invitation will arrive closer to the wedding date with more detailed information.

For invitations sent any distance from where the wedding is to take place, the best would be two to three months prior to the wedding date, so that the people invited have time to make arrangements for the trip.
When my son got married last spring , they enclosed a map with directions showing how to arrive where the ceremony was to take place, and a small list of nearby hotels, and alternative lodgements in the area to simplify things for the guests.

At least 3 months. For an in-town wedding, according to theknot.com, you should send out invitations around 8 weeks in advance. I would give people at least another month to clear out their schedules and get together any extra money they may need.
Good luck and congrats!

You do a "save date" about 8-12 months ahead.
You send everyone an invitation 6 weeks ahead of time.
You don't treat out of towners differently.

deliver the save the dates a pair of 12 months to eight moths in the previous (except your getting married august of 2009 do it asap) and on the save the dates confirm you place the place the ceremony is (no longer the right venue yet, the city and state, you're able to be able to additionally could make arrangments with a close-by hotel to furnish your travellers a chit, the extra rooms the extra the decrease fee and supply that hotel records to the travellers) and the right date and time, so people could make preparations. deliver the invites out like 3 months in the previous the marriage, sine everybody already knows the place that's and what time that's, it's going to be a reassurance for their plans =D good success ?

Send a save the date card out first, about 3to6 months ahead. Then the invite about 1to2 months away from the date. Gives them plenty of time to plan and save..

The same time as you send them to everyone else. 6-8 weeks before your date. By out of town, I'm guessing you really mean out of state? In which case, it will only take a couple days for them to arrive.

about two- three weeks in advance. If this is your first wedding you would want it to be special and you would want people to show up at your wedding and two-three weeks is more than enough time.
