I read that 4 weeks is the least amount of time you want to give your guests to decide, and anything more than 2 months and they may forget about it. I think the best time is around 6 weeks and that is when I sent mine.

The wedding invitations should be sent out 6 - 8 weeks before the wedding date, and if you have any that are going to a foreign country then they should be mailed out 90 days before the wedding date.
You should also have a "B list" of guests so if you get any "no, we cannot attend" RSVPs that time frame will still give you the opportunity to send out a few more invitations.

I think the 8-week and 2-month answers are a little far.
I'd say a month to six weeks, at the most.
Any sooner than that, I would just send a save-the-date card.
It does depend on the type of wedding you'll be having. Where I'm from, weddings are generally a LOT less formal than they apparently are otherwise. I've been to a lot of nice weddings, but never any that had things like sit-down dinners and seating charts.

6 to 8 weeks before the event is scheduled to take place.
This allows guests to have enough notice to make plans to attend, but it isn't so far in advance that they will forget about it before it gets here!
If you are inviting guests to attend that must travel long distances or from other countries, it may help to send save the dates, at least to these guests. These people will have to have more notice in order to be able to attend.
Good luck and congratulations!

this one person i know did it a month before the wedding but i would recomend doing it at least 2 months ahead of time so people have time to get the invitation and work it into the schedule

That depends on how large your wedding is going to be and where you must 'mail' the invitations. Generally, invitations to a wedding are mailed one month in advance, but if you have a large number of guest coming from 'out of state' or 'out of country' you would be 'better off' to mail THOSE invitations 6 weeks to two months in advance.

Officially it's 6-8 weeks. If you've got guests from interstate, 8 weeks I'd say, and overseas allow more time. Maybe send your OS guests a 'save the date' card.
Good luck with your upcoming wedding :)

At least 2 months. That gives people enough time to clear their schedule, buy a gift, buy an outfit, find a date and send in their RSVP slip. That also frees the bridal party up to think about other pressing matters and manage the seating chart.

If maximum individuals of travellers invited would be close sufficient for a "day out," then a minimum of four to 6 weeks previously the marriage is suited, because of the fact the travellers will nonetheless want time to devise their attendance, verify schedules, and this helps time for the hosts to devise following the travellers' RSVPs. needless to say, if many travellers will would desire to return and forth and make accomodations for the holiday, then that would desire to be considered and invites would desire to be despatched plenty previously.

If your having a wedding with a whole bunch of people and many of them might not come... about 2 months, but if its kind of small you and its just a bunch of people that will for sure come... you could do it just a couple weeks before
