Wait, you are sending out invites already?  I was thinking January.  I sent out STDs and have all the info on our website (we already have 20+ booked) but I thought it was too early to send formal invites.

We're sending ours out next month (wedding is June9, 2011) only because we're being cheap and not sending out Save-the-Dates.

I too have sent my save the dates with all of my website info. But I was planning on sending my formal invites in January.

I just sent out my invitations yesterday for a May 2nd wedding.  I figure destination weddings aren't something someone is going to forget.  So, no biggie sending out the formal invites early.  )

The STD´s are out but other BTB´s in this forum suggested I send my invites  around the end of Sept! I´ll have to wait until they are ready but now I´m double thinking....as with the rest of my things...

STD"s I sent mine out in May because I wanted them out 1 year before, and I will be sending my invites out right after Christmas with their official RSVP card and reminder of when the final payment is due. 

 

Nan - so I've been emailing with Juliet about the flowers and some other things and so happy!! She quoted me $42 for the same centerpiece my resort wanted to charge me $245 for!

I sent my STD's out in June... I wanted to have them out a year in advance but they ended up taking me longer than I thought. June still worked fine because our group rate was held until Sept 8th so people had a lot of time to put down deposits.

 

I think I'll send invites out in Jan with RSVPs.

When are you ladies asking people to RSVP by? Does 2 months in advance seem a little early??

 Vlynnw:  I´m so happy it turned out great with Juliet. Now we will be sharing florist! Are you doing anything else with her? I am. good luck and keep me posted....
