When to send out Save the dates?

kms26

We are renewing our vows in July 2014, i was wondering when to send out save the dates? I wouldn't normally think about it but being July and when people go on holiday, i'm thinking i should?

We're getting married in July of this year and I sent ours out in July/August last year to give everyone plenty of notice. I used magnets which I got from vistaprint on a free offer so people just stuck them to their fridges. It was lovely going to peoples houses and seeing them stuck on the fridge

I have seen the magnets around on here, i think that is definately something i will do! Thank you x

Only send them out to people you know you will 100% be inviting - I've seen a few stories of people sending them out, then having to tell some people that they won't be invited afterall.
Awkward!

I can find the Save the Dates on Vistaprint but where do you add the magnet part?

Oh i will RainbowDrops! That would be awkward!

Forgot to add sometimes it's worth doing a quick google for "vistaprint free magnets" as it rings up links for them. Either that or add them to your cart and then leave them for a few days and you sometimes get an email with freebies on.

We've just received one for May Day bank holiday weekend next year.

Normally I think they are sent about 12 months ahead to give people time to save/book if they need to.
