Too soon for Save the Dates?

I agree with Caytlyn that is doesn't really matter, because they are optional to start with. The only downside is that no matter how much you think everything (e.g., date, venue, guest list, etc.) is "locked in" sometimes unexpected stuff happens and you have no choice but to change your plans -- and that gets more complicated once STDs have gone out. I think there were at least two posts last night from one bride who has to change her venue (and therefore her date...) and from another that has to change her date due to unexpected financial challenges. No one thinks it will happen to them, but that's why they are unexpected changes. Also, once you send a guest an STD you are committed to sending them an invitation (unless they truly do something relationship altering). Daughter's wedding was very carefully and thoroughly planned. She sent her STDs about 6-7 months before the ceremony, but at the last minute decided not to send an STD to a few of the "more casual friends" that had been on the list from the very beginning of planning -- she figured they were local and if by chance they made other plans before receiving the invitation, she and FH wouldn't have been hugely disappointed. She was so glad she didn't send those because by the time the wedding was about 3 months away, they realized the wanted to cut some of those people to make room for people they worked with who had not originally been on the list. If she'd sent them STDs, she wouldn't have had that flexibility. I totally get being excited, but there might be longer-term advantages to holding off for a while. They are super-cute though!

I sent mine exactly a year out!

I would wait till around early summer time to send them out. I am getting married October2020 and we sent ours in JAN 2020

I'm having my wedding a few hours away at a state park and have a lot of out of town guests, so I sent my STDs out 10-11 months ahead of time.

I would say if it will be a lot of planning for the guests, then yes.

If not, I would wait a few more months so people don't forget about it or lose it, but like everyone mentioned there is no harm in sending them early unless you are not 100% on your guest list or venue.

All the best! xx

Very cute, but I would probably wait, only because they could be misplaced by your guests in a little less than a years time. It is hard to hold off when you are excited. But just wait a few more months

Unless it's a major travel expense for a lot of guests I would wait. If most of your guests are local it's not a big issue. However being that it's in the middle of vacation time for a lot of people, if you do have family/friends coming from out of state I would say now if perfectly fine as it gives people time to INCLUDE it in their holiday plans versus trying to add it on. But again, if most people already know and are local, this isn't necessary and you can wait a few months
