When to Send Wedding Invitations

Ideally, the best time to send out wedding invitations is six to eight weeks before the wedding.

This doesn't just give your guests lots of time to clear their schedules for the day,

[{"selector":"#anim-888357b5-9cd7-435b-9c77-9111e3d6f415","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1290a3f9-7bfc-4bdc-8af0-54d1e0d12291","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -838.06921%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

it also means you can request your wedding guests' RSVPs sooner (two to three weeks before the wedding is appropriate).

[{"selector":"#anim-94ed4d0e-6441-436a-8712-f10ced328e88","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1710fc7d-983a-4cfc-a3d4-8850f52e231f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -838.06921%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

This will allow you to get a final head count and complete your seating charts before the week-of-the-wedding crunch.

[{"selector":"#anim-3ed0b2d7-fa66-4063-9caa-a04ad545d206","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-df9da757-4dba-418d-96b5-d570d121c337","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -838.06921%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

At the very latest, guests should receive formal invitations six weeks in advance, and you should request responses two weeks before the big day.
