Planning a wedding involves a myriad of decisions, but one of the first and most important steps is making the wedding announcement. Couples often wonder how far in advance they should send out their wedding announcements to ensure their loved ones are available on that special day. In this blog post, we will answer all your questions regarding when to send wedding announcements.

When should I send out save the date cards?

Save the date cards serve as a pre-invitation to give your guests a heads up about your wedding day. Generally, save the date cards should be sent around 6 to 8 months prior to the wedding. This allows your guests to mark their calendars, make necessary travel arrangements, and avoid scheduling conflicts.

When should I send out formal wedding invitations?

Formal wedding invitations provide all the necessary details, including the date, time, and location of the wedding. They should be sent around 8 to 12 weeks before your big day. Sending invitations too early may result in them getting lost or forgotten, while sending them too late may not give your guests enough time to prepare.

What about destination weddings?

Destination weddings require extra planning as guests need to arrange for travel and accommodation. In these cases, it is recommended to send save the date cards 8 to 10 months in advance. This gives your guests ample time to book their flights, hotels, and take time off work. Formal invitations for destination weddings should be sent around 4 to 6 months prior to the wedding to ensure arrangements can be made in a timely manner.

Should I send wedding announcements to everyone?

Wedding announcements are typically sent to close family members and friends who are not invited to the wedding. These announcements are a way of sharing the happy news and including them in the celebration, even if they cannot physically attend your special day. Wedding announcements should be sent shortly after the wedding, preferably within 2 to 3 weeks.

Final Thoughts

Planning a wedding involves careful timing and consideration, especially when it comes to sending out announcements and invitations. By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your guests have enough notice to make necessary arrangements and be a part of your wedding celebration. Remember, communication is key, so don’t hesitate to reach out to your guests and keep them informed throughout the planning process.
