How much notice should you give for invites? 2 weeks, a month? Not sure! My mother will be sending invites for my shower on Sept 18 but when should she? I feel like if we send them first wk of August and that may be too much time and people will forget!
Two weeks is considered 'etiquette' if you are concerned about someone out of town or someone 'forgetting' then do a 'follow up' call to them, you can also now do 'e-vites' online!
Showers, I go with 3 weeks.
Birthday Parties 2 weeks.
Weddings, 2 months.
Depends on when you need to know about numbers, I think. If you are ordering food, you will need to know in advance of the party how many people. Then give yourself + 1 week from that to get ahold of slackers.
September is busy with the start of school and sport season. If you are inviting a lot of people with school age kids, I would go 4 weeks so they can make proper arrangements if they intend to come. If it's mostly people with older children or no children, I would think 2-3 weeks.
For big parties like that I think right now you verbally need to get word out on what date it will be so people kind of can keep it open. Otherwise I think an email a month before kind of saying "save the date" and then paper invites 2 weeks before. Good luck and congrats!
No more than one month and no less than 2 weeks, IMO. I think 2-3 weeks is ideal.
I would say 2-3 weeks for a shower.
A minimum of 2 weeks. I would say 3 to 4 is best.
I have been receiving "SAVE THE DATE" post cards for the last few years anywhere from one to six months in advance of the date of the event. Personally I think two weeks before a shower and one month to six weeks prior to a wedding, unless there are family and guest coming from long distances.
Blessings......
I usually do 3 weeks to a month ahead.
