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 type | Send invitations | RSVP deadline |
|---|---|---|
| Local wedding | 6 to 8 weeks ahead | 3 to 4 weeks before |
| Destination wedding | 10 to 12 weeks ahead | 3 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.
