Question

How far in advance should I send wedding invitations?

Answer

How early you send depends mostly on how far guests have to travel.

Event typeSend invitationsRSVP deadline
Local wedding6 to 8 weeks ahead3 to 4 weeks before
Destination wedding10 to 12 weeks ahead3 to 4 weeks before
  • Earlier mailing gives guests time to RSVP, book travel, and clear their schedule.
  • Pair the send date with an RSVP deadline 3 to 4 weeks before the wedding so nobody forgets.
  • That timing leaves room to finalize catering numbers and seating arrangements.
