When to Send Destination Wedding Invitations

Sending out wedding invitations out on time for a destination wedding might just be the most important part in your wedding planning. Learn when to mail your save-the-date notes as well as the invitations to your destination wedding.

Send Out Save-the-Date Notes

Send out save-the-date notes 1 year ahead of time. Your guests will need to know when and where the wedding will be. This will give them more time to plan travel.

Send Out Invitations

Send out the wedding invitations 2 months ahead of time. This will give your guests enough time to RSVP.

The RSVP

Do not forget to include the RSVP in your invitations. Since you are sending the invitations out early because the wedding is going to be at an exotic location, this will give you enough time to get a head count. You will also be ready to tell the caterer, venue host and everyone else involved just how many people you estimate will come to your wedding.

Order Invitations

Order your wedding invitations about 3 to 4 months ahead of time.

Considerations

Address your envelopes 3 months ahead of time so that they will be ready to go out when the time comes.
