When To Send Out Wedding Invitations

After picking up just the perfect invitations for your wedding there remains nothing to do but to send them out. But the question is – How should you do this ?In person ?Through mail or email? Why not both? And when is the perfect moment to book in your calendar for sending out the wedding invitations? It would be a real pity if your white, sparkly, beautiful and carefully chosen invitations wouldn’t get to your guests in time, wouldn’t it? For most people weddings are supposed to be special events but very few of those who say “I do.” take at that moment into consideration every aspect of planning an event of this kind. Don’t you want to be a sensible wedding planner?

I must first assure you that for success in planning a wedding you should not worry too much. Regardless of what you might think two weeks before the big day, everything will be perfectly fine. First of all, it is a must for you to send out or give all of your wedding invitations at least four or five weeks before the event itself. No matter if they’re classic and elegant or if you wanted to go over the top and use something fancier, different from the traditional patterns and unique just for your special day, regardless of the price you paid or how much time you spent picking them out in a store full of distractions – floral arrangements, beautiful lacy dresses, candles - your close ones, friends and families will show more enthusiasm than you could ever hope for. Even just for that single moment of joy, all the trouble you’ve been through, all the effort, stress and anxiety…they are worthwhile. Another important fact to consider regarding the right moment you should send invitations should be the areas your guests are from and how long does it take for them to arrive in the city the event is going to take place in. You can also find them a place to spend the night after the long trip.

Although most believe it is quicker to send an electronic invitation, I recommend you to also send traditional ones. It may take longer and it is definitely a significant price difference, but it is also much more personal. Not to mention the fact that many of us very often forget or sometimes we just don’t bother to read all of our e-mails. Giving them in person might also be a great idea. On the one hand this requires a lot of time and effort , but on the other hand there is the advantage that you can offer significantly more information and you can get a pretty accurate idea regarding your guests’ answer – whether they plan on coming or not. This is another reason for which  you should send your invitations at least one month before the wedding. You must make your guest list before you plan anything else. Almost every decision will be based on the holly list with your guests : food, space, decorations, table arrangements  and so on.



I don’t know about you, but weddings always make me cry so be sure you have extra tissues in your purse. After doing thoroughly all the planning there is nothing left for you and significant other to do, but enjoy your special day.
