So, I''ve read that you''re supposed to send invitations out 6-8 weeks in advance. But I''m a little worried about this, particularly because we can anticipate at least a week of mail-travel time for many of our invites, and then the same for the RSVP to return. And OK, I confess, I''m excited and impatient for those little envelopes to start coming back to us!
So, if we time the mailing so that the invitations should arrive a little over 2 months before the wedding, is that reasonable? (So, send the overseas ones about 10 weeks in advance, the few domestic ones 9 weeks). That way we can still give people a couple of weeks to reply and have a sense of numbers.
How early is too early? And WHY? Is it because peoples'' plans change? Or something else? Why is early rude? For me I always think it''s HELPFUL!
