I am having a caribbean destination wedding in July 2008. Most of our guests will bet traveling from the United States and Europe. When should I send out my save-the-dates? And when would it be approrpriate to send out the wedding invitations? I've been told that you have to send both out earlier than usual when you have a destination wedding.

I would go ahead and send them on out--so people can get the dates on their calandars. My sister notified her close friends and family of her wedding date--since we would all have to travel--about a year in advance. I know if you were inviting me, I'd like to know about it as soon as possible--and now isn't too soon. They may not immediately book travel plans, but they can keep an eye out for discount fares. They would also know what week they need to keep open--this is especially important for families with children and teenagers--summer is almost busier than the school year. Good luck!

For a Destination Wedding, send your Save the Date cards out as soon as possible...anywhere from 1 year to 6 months in advance. Your wedding invitations can go out up to 3 months before the wedding, especially to the "Must Attend" guests like immediate family. For a destination wedding, having a wedding webpage with event information ahead of the official invitations is a good idea. You can list your wedding webpage link on the "Save the Date" cards. This gives your guests a chance to make hotel and air reservations ahead of time, using the info from your webpage.

Hi you can send the save the date out when ever you want too I would say about now as then it gives nearly a year and people might have not booked there holidays or what not off yet. and as for invites, people say six weeks before the wedding but I deffianly say a few months before the wedding. Im getting married in 3 weeks and I sent my invites out in April I think. Its one less thing to worry about. If you send out save the dates then these are the most important to get to the important people you want at your wedding so they can book time off etc and onces they know they can then reply to your invite.
So I would say send the save the dates out this month and next year say next year send the invites out April or May, when ever you feel comfortable.
If they have recieved the save the dates they should have book flights and thing in time for your wedding so I dont think you have to send them out too early unless you think it will be safer for you to do so.
Congrats and I hope you have a lovely wedding

Normally, I would say 6 months before, but since it's a destination wedding and people will have to make travel plans, I'd say no more than 12 months in advance. That way they can plan to take time off or arrange how to pay to get there. Congrats!

If I was invited to your wedding-hint, hint, I would like to know ASAP. That way, I could start saving for the event right away.
Send your invitations out two months before the wedding-this way, no one will have the excuse that it is too expensive to attend. I did all of this, and one of my cousins used this lame excuse-he was one of the first to be told about our wedding. No seriously, if people cannot attend because of the expense, brush it off and don´t be offended. Think of it this way-they will miss all of the fun.
God bless you as you start planning for your marriage,and more importantly, after the ceremony.

sinceit is a long way off, send your save the date like 6 months before the wedding and your invitations 3. usually you would send save the date abut 4 month and invitations2.

I'd send the save the dates NOW so they can save up for the wedding and travel expenses as well as get accommodations, since they will fill up quickly since July is peak season.

something you wrote does not make experience to me. You reported you do no longer decide to because of the fact you're scared they'll point out it to different people who are not invited. nicely except you sent a itemizing of anybody invited, they'll do a similar element with the invites. i'm sending them out. basically man or woman ever in my kinfolk to apply them yet a million/2 of the travelers are 2+ hours away and a pair even on the different fringe of the rustic. those are people we already know contain coming it is basically a constructive reminder to those that ought to get flights or ask for destroy day, it provides them greater time then they might have in the event that they simply have been given the invitation. playstation i like all the folk who're bashing this concept. And secondly they do no longer seem to be that costly. you should deliver out post enjoying cards, or perhaps in simple terms sort up a letter and print it out at dwelling house and mail it out. this is in comparison to they cost up on your wedding ceremony invites.

it would be nice for people to have the save the dates 9 months before. THis way they can make any necessary travel plans.
