I swear I've asked this before but I cannot find the thread, so sorry for asking again. How far before your wedding did you send out invitations? I'm thinking 4 mos at the least. My aunt (who is a wedding planner at a high end place in Boston) swears that 6-8 weeks is enough. This seems insane to me! If I wait until 8 weeks out to send the invite with all of the booking info that means people likely won't be booking until 6 weeks out and we're planning for March; one of the busiest seasons. They'd be lucky to get any room by 6 weeks out. Not to mention we're doing the carribean beach resort and that tends to book up @ 3 mos out. All of the google searches I've done say that you need to send out an invite for a destination wedding at least 4 mos in advance, if not more. That was my thinking. My H says to do it now, we're just under 7 mos out.
So when did you send your invites? Did people appreciate them being sent earlier than 6-8 weeks in advance? Do you agree that 6-8 weeks is way too close or am I just being silly?
