If I hear "I haven't gotten my invitation yet!" I'm gonna scream..

Sorry, but mine are going out 7 weeks prior to the RSVP date. With kids getting out of school and summer starting up so close to your date, I would consider mailing them a little earlier. JMHO

Well 6 weeks is in 5 days.. So earlier means a few days earlier. People get married in June all the time and send out their invites at the 6 week mark. I don't think 6 weeks in advance is that big of a deal.

KK people all say and do dumb things when it comes to weddings. I can feel you about the pressure. You may want to send them when they are done just to get people off your back. We are shooting for 6-8 weeks early but we are working with a holiday weekend. Good Luck

Thanks Susy..

I sent out STDs! With the date, time, and location. What other things do they need to know?? Mine and FS's names?? When she said "I've gotten so many questions about your wedding and can't answer them because I haven't gotten an invitation yet!" I was just about to scream. And then she said "Where is it? What time is it?" and BOTH of those things were on the STD. If they threw it away or are too dumb to check it, that's not my fault!

Okay, vent over

KK I wouldn't worry, people are just anxious. But if anyone of those impatient people declines, you have everyone's permission to beat them up

Aw, deep breaths!

I mailed mine out 8 weeks in advance, but that's because we didn't do 'official' save the dates (Mom and FMIL just e-mailed their extended families of the date and we sent FB message STDs. If you've done STDs (which you have), then the 5-6 week thing is right....as you said, if they already have all the info on the STD, all they need to know is to keep that date open...or 'save' it, as you will

Exactly, Carolyn!

My fave is when people say "so when should I expect my invitation" and they're not even invited! UGH

I think some people do 4-6 weeks, 8-10 weeks is also common.

Either way, I'm not sure exactly what sort of info they need. How far in advance do you need to know the exact address and such? How impatient!

On the plus side, it means people are really looking forward to your wedding.

We had a couple people bug us for info before the invites went out, so we just told them to check out te website and call it a day.

When I changed my status on FB to Engaged my cousin says congratulations and then "I am invited, right?"

RUDE! She was not going to be invited, but she kinda forced my hand. *sigh*.

Oh well, I didn't invite her 3 bratty kids so she probably won't come anyway. :-)

I sent my invites 2-3 weeks ago, and now I'm getting people saying they didn't get theirs, but really they just aren't invited!

I guess it all depends on who you google. The timeline I just read says 8-12 weeks is a good timeline especially near any major holidays but no later than 4 weeks prior. You are still within that time frame.

@kk - take a breather! I don't understand what other informatio they want!! I sent out my std's and I still get questions. I tell them well, look on our wedding site. Then they tell me but the invitation may have more, when is that coming? Is like really??? I just breath and say about 6-8 weeks before. But at times I'm right there with you girl.

@Keatha R. - I had people message me and I just told them we were still planning and figuring things out and not one of the people who asked me for one was invited in the first place and they aren't getting an invite, mostly because I'm not close to them.

@Lynley - what do you say when they ask you about an ivitation but you know you're not inviting them?

I say right now we have a lot of family who still hasn't rsvp'd, but when we start getting no's we will be able to start inviting more people. it may not be the nicest way to say it but its the truth, i think its better than saying "because your not invited duhh!" lol

But seriously kk--- I haven't gotten my invitation yet. What's up with that?

I say send them when you get ready too. I'm finding out that SDT's were pretty much a waste of money. It had our date , location, and website to refer to if there were any questions regarding the wedding and registry. I still got questions about where the wedding was going to be and date, um excuse me but did you not get a STD with all of this info? It is frustrating. I myself keep things like that to refer to, but I guess everyone is not like me.

That makes me go crazy and mine is in 4 months =/..... and pppl are asking for theirs lol
