When do you send out wedding invitations?

When do you send out wedding invitations? The standard timing is 6–8 weeks before the wedding, with the RSVP deadline about 3–4 weeks before the date.

Full timeline:

• Save-the-dates: 6–8 months before (8–12 months for destination weddings)
• Invitations: 6–8 weeks before (about 3 months for destination or holiday weekends)
• RSVP deadline: 3–4 weeks before, so you can give your caterer final counts

For a June wedding, mail invitations in mid-to-late April.
