Has everyone here send out their invitations - we aren't planning ons ending ours to start of August?

We sent ours in June, it was going to be July, but we have a friend who went travelling at end of June, n he is not back until a month before our wedding (our RSVP by date). People also tend to go in holiday in August, so quite a few people wouldn't have a lot of time to book hotels etc. We are getting married away from where we live, so our friends have to travel- just wanted to give them enough time really.

I think here in NI we tend to send them out later - I was intending on sending them out 8 weeks before - but have been told 6 is more common (But i'm still sending out 8 weeks before - with RSVP date 3 weeks before the wedding.

People already know they are invited and a numbe rof people traveliing have booked flights the hotel etc

Ooh, also remembered that we're finally able to give notice now - need to dig out the forms and make sure we've got all the documentation ready. And ordering the BM's dresses tonight, its getting too close for comfort!

double_mummy

how come you have had to wait so long to give notice?

stir_crazy

I think its Scottish rules. Either that or my city council can't handle information too far in advance

oh ok lol

we have to have a final meeting with our registrar next month go through the words for the ceremony and check the music is okay and go over where they need to be and their entry so they dont have to pay for parking etc
