When to send invites?

How far in advance did your hostess send invites?

Re: When to send invites?

  • I would do 4-6 weeks in advance.

  • 3 weeks is ideal.  4 weeks in kind of overkill.  Anything over 4 weeks will most likely be forgotten - it's not a wedding!  lol

  • I think 3-4 weeks in advance.  Anything more and it will probably be forgotten and anything less will not be enough notice.

  • I think 3-4 weeks is preferred. Anything earlier and you'll end up with guests who have forgotten about the event as a whole and any later and people will already have prior obligations.

  • We are doing 4 weeks almost exactly...because I know some jobs that do monthly schedules so I want people to be able to ask off if they need to.

    I think this time is perfect.  It gives one a chance to arrange their schedule and find the right gift they want to give you.  I have a shower next Saturday and invites have not been sent out yet.  I guess everyone has their own way of doing things.

  • I sent my sister's babyshower invites out a month in advance. I know some people have a hard time getting the day off from work or have other plans if it's not out in time.
